Slave Girl Challenge, Part Seven by brooksie (brooksie@pacificcoast.net) Two young women fight for the right to serve. The next three weeks were agony for Angel. It was partly caused by the anticipation she'd expected to feel. But what she hadn't expected was a feeling of sheer dread - a result of viewing the web sites Katherine had suggested she look at. They were devoted to wrestling, but not the glitzy, TV-style pro wrestling. These sites showed women, most of whom were quite muscular and strong looking, wrestling each other or with men. The mixed matches all ended with the woman in total control, their male victims locked into painful submission holds. Of course, the photos could have been faked, but the holds looked dominating enough especially considering the powerful women who were applying them. Angel found herself fascinated by the double, and even triple combination holds, where it was obvious the woman had her opponent totally at her mercy. Naturally she spent more time looking at female-female pictures than the mixed gender ones. They interested her more, but she also found them the most disturbing. Was that what Katherine had in mind for her? The though of going up against the nearly-six-foot muscle goddess she'd met at the gym was frightening. The mere thought of her poor little ribs being crushed by Katherine's big thighs was enough to give Angel fits. When the date Katherine had written down on the card came at last, the thought of not calling crossed Angel's mind several times. But it never lasted long. Scared or not, she knew she'd call. She forced herself to wait until noon, in case Katherine was sleeping late. She dialled the number and Katherine answered after the second ring. She sounded funny, like she had a speech impediment. "Mmm, just a minute...there! Sorry, I had to finish chewing. I'm pigging out to my heart's content." "On what?" "At the moment, pizza and chocolate cake." Angel giggled, "Sounds yummy." They talked about the contest, in which Katherine had place first in the heavyweight class, but lost the overall championship to the middleweight class winner. "She deserved it. She had more definition and she was a better poser. Still, Katherine was very pleased. She'd won her first show, in just her second attempt. "Are you going to keep competing?" Angel asked. "I think so. I'll see how it goes. Winning my class was great, but I'd like to try for an overall title. Anyway, how are you? How's the personal training course going?" Angel had momentarily forgotten the sense of trepidation that now began colouring her voice as she answered. Katherine noticed it. "You sound funny," she remarked, "are you ok?" "Yeah, but...well, I looked at that web site you wrote down..." "Oh, that's right," Katherine interrupted, "I forgot I'd given that to you. What did you think?" "Uh, it was cool and everything but I don't think I could, I mean, I couldn't..." "Angel, what are you trying to say?" "I'm afraid to wrestle with you unless we're just playing, I'm scared you'll really hurt me!" she blurted out, all in one long sentence. Angel took a breath. There was silence on the other end of the line. Then Katherine burst out laughing. "Wrestle me? Oh that's priceless! No, no, that's not what I had in mind at all." Katherine had to pause as more laughter overcame her. "Look," she said, "why don't you come over and I'll explain. Are you free tonight?" Following the directions she'd been given, Angel found Katherine's street. She drove slowly until she spotted the address and turned into the driveway. Nice house, she thought as she walked up to the front door of the pale yellow ranch style bungalow. Katherine opened the door wearing only a bikini. Angel's loins throbbed at the mere sight of her. "Hi, come on in." Katherine led Angel through the house and out to the backyard, with it's deck and swimming pool. "I like your house." "Thanks." "Would you like a drink?" Angel nodded and Katherine poured two tall glasses from a pitcher on the table. "Mmmm, good margarita," Angel said, after taking a sip. She looked up to find Katherine staring intently at her. The muscular woman's eye's were dancing and a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "What?" Angel asked. "So, you thought I wanted us to wrestle?" Sheepishly, Angel answered, "I don't know. I didn't know what to think, really." Angel paused, took another sip of her drink, then furrowed her brow. "So why did you want me to look at that site, then?" Instead of responding to the question, Katherine asked Angel one of her own. "Do you have much of a sports background? You're becoming a personal trainer, so I assume you're fairly athletic." "I guess. I did gymnastics for a few years, and I've ridden horses all my life." "No kidding! Do you own a horse?" "Not any more. It's a pretty expensive hobby. I used to work off part of my bill doing stable work, feeding and grooming the horses and stuff like that." "Mucking out the stalls?" Angel grinned. "Uh-huh. I shovelled my share of shit, that's for sure." Katherine laughed at the proliferation of "sh" sounds, while Angel took another gulp of her drink. "Whew," she said, "another one of those and I don't think I would be able to get that last sentence out. "I like 'em strong," Katherine said, simply. "So, is horseback riding very athletic? It looks like it is." "Yeah, real riding - trotting, galloping, jumping and that stuff is very athletic. You have to have good balance and a strong back. Your legs need to be pretty strong too, especially the inner thigh muscles, cause that's how you guide the horse." "Hmmm, interesting," Katherine said, as she refilled Angel's glass. "That may come in handy." "Handy how?" "Because it might mean you have a good scissors hold," Katherine teased. "Hey, I thought you said I didn't have to wrestle you?" "You don't." Angle looked puzzled. "I have someone else in mind for you to wrestle against," Katherine explained. "But I've never done any wrestling. I don't know anything about it." "That's ok, I'll teach you." Angel twice began to reply, but couldn't. For the first time since Katherine had met her, words seemed to fail her completely. She just sat there, staring at Katherine with a dumbfounded expression on her face. "But I don't want to wrestle," she finally protested, "I want to jump your bones." "Yes, I gathered that," Katherine chuckled, "Look, I know we could have a lot of fun together and I have to admit, I am curious to see if you live up to your name. But I'm looking for more out of my next relationship than casual sex." "More?" Everything suddenly fell into place for Angel. "Now I know why you took me to that cafe. You were interviewing me to be your slave!" she exclaimed. Katherine took a sip of her drink and drew a deep breath, prepared to have a long talk with Angel about the nature of the Goddess/Slave relationship, and how it can be equally fulfilling for both parties when Angel enthusiastically added, "This rules!" "What?" "I said 'this rules'. You know, that means it's great." "I know what it means, but what do you mean?" Without missing a beat, Angel responded, "What do you mean, what do I mean?" Both women burst out laughing as they veered towards their own version of the Abbot & Costello comedy routine "Who's On First?" "What I meant," (more snickers) "is why you said that. You sound like you'd move in tomorrow." "I would," Angel grinned, "my apartment's crap. I'd leave in a second." "Are you serious? You'd move right in? You barely know me." "I know what I need to." "And what is that?" "I don't know; it's hard to put into words. I'm not one of these people that tosses things over and over in their mind and wonders what to do all the time. Usually I just make a decision and go with it. Besides, look at you. You're awesome, you're my fantasy. Your body's a work of art. It's like sculpture. And your eyes, they're such an amazing colour of green. Your hair is so beautifully thick and wavy and your teeth are perfect. And look at your house and your pool...and your car. Hell, I spend half my life dreaming about being with a woman like you. You're funny, smart and - you make a mean margarita," Angel said, raising her glass in tribute. "I already worship you. Why wouldn't I want to be your slave?" Now it was Katherine's turn to grope for words. "Plus," Angel added, "you have, feet." "Feet?" "I meant, pretty feet. I love feet, as long as they're pretty and yours are very, very pretty." Then she set her glass down heavily and hiccuped...loudly. Katherine giggled. "You're drunk," she said. She wondered if Angel would launch into another round of profuse apology. However, as Katherine was beginning to understand, nothing about this girl was easy to predict. "That may be so," Angel said, slurring her words, "but I still know your feet are beautiful and I'm going to kiss them, right now." Angel reached down towards Katherine's leg. With one hand under her calf and the other around her ankle, she tried lifting the muscular limb. With a mischievous smile, Katherine tensed her leg muscles. The leg didn't move. Angel looked up and saw the unspoken challenge in Katherine's eyes. She tugged as hard as she could, with both arms, but still the big limb didn't budge. Angel redoubled her effort, to no avail. Smiling happily, she announced a new strategy. "You think you've won but I have another plan." "And what might that be?" Katherine asked, very much amused by her tipsy young companion's antics. "This!" Angel dove out her chair onto her knees and threw both her arms around Katherine's calf. Holding on tightly, she laid a big, smacking kiss on the top of Katherine's toes, then a few smaller, softer ones. "Now, I'm going to suck your toes, ha-ha!" Angel tried to pull off a fiendish laugh, but was unconvincing. "Wait," Katherine said. She stood up and helped Angel to her feet, "Come on, let's go sit on the swing. Katherine had one of those covered loveseat-style swing sets, a high quality one, set up on a small patch of grass at the far end of the pool. She took Angel by the hand and led her to it. Katherine had her drink in her other hand, but hadn't bothered to pour another for her little friend, who clearly didn't need it. They sat in the very comfortable seat and let it swing gently. Angel snuggled close to Katherine, who sipped her drink in silence. She needed to gather her thoughts. All geared up for something like a sales pitch, Angel had essentially stolen her thunder with her display of eager willingness. Katherine eventually became aware that only the swing was moving now. She felt the heavy breath on her shoulder and looked down. Angel was sound asleep. That reminded Katherine that she was pretty bushed herself. She gathered Angel up into her arms, like a parent would a child, and carried her off to bed. She paused at the door to her own room, wondering. No, she thought, I'll put her in the guest room. If she's going to throw up, at least it won't be in my bed she laughed. Katherine gently tucked Angel in and wasn't long before joining her in dreamland.
