Tony Toledo By DanboyII Myrna is stronger than she looks Tony Toledo was one tough dude. The truth is, he was really almost as tough as he thought he was. Not a big man, standing at 5'8" and 160 very fit pounds, he presented almost the ethereal essence of the big time, powerfully connected mobster. His suits were all dark shades. And mostly all were very expensive silk materials done in stylish Italian cuts. He was also partial to gold - on his fingers, around his neck and around his wrist. He was a walking jewelry store. And it was always the heavy stuff; eighteen-carat, sometimes even 23; Tony knew how to live. On this day, he toned it down some though. Blue tux with less gold than usual. He didn't want to upstage anybody and it was his good buddy Bobby's wedding. He was in the wedding party. Of course. He was the best man. His date, also of course, was the maid of honor. Tony had not met Myrna until the rehearsal on the night before the wedding. As it turned out, she was absolutely gorgeous. Her face was that is. There were a few other problems. She was tall. Probably an inch taller than Tony. Now Tony had this thing about women that he had never told anyone. He liked big strong women. The Amazon type. He had never actually never been with such a woman but there was no doubt in Tony's mind that he had such a fantasy. In fact, he had several. The women in Tony's dreams were always about the same. Tall, blond, muscular, and usually full figured, weighing over two hundred pounds. In his fantasies, Tony would fight this type woman. Sometimes he would be overpowered by the woman and she would carry him off and make him her sex slave. Other times, he would be the victor and the beaten Amazon would then be his slave. However the story played out, Tony would have many opportunities to feel the strength of the woman in a variety of ways. She might wrestle him down and pin and hold him or she might throw him about in some erotic fashion before they would have sex. Tony never told anyone about his fantasies. He would have been laughed at unmercifully to be sure. A tough mob guy wants to meet a woman who can beat him up? He wants her to be bigger than him and he wants her to carry him around? He would have to leave the country if his secret got out. Back to Myrna. She certainly was pretty. Dark hair tumbling to her shoulders surrounded a round face with high cheekbones that often accented a wide smile. The eyes were dark too, nearly black with flecks of golden amber that seemed to appear and disappear of their own free will. She had a knockout face, no question. She was also tall. Yes, a whole inch taller than Tony and skinny as a broom handle which made her look all that much taller. Her breasts were more or less non-existent and her arms and legs not much more than sticks. And Tony was stuck with her for the wedding. As the day wore on, Tony did become more comfortable. Myrna was bright and articulate and as it turned out, one hell of a dancer. She was good! Tony had always been a good dancer too. It was something that he did naturally well. Together they were easily the most striking couple on the floor. It seemed as though they could do anything. Myrna could follow far better than anyone he had danced with before. In his arms, she seemed weightless. They had so much fun that Tony asked her out the following week and then again and again. Myrna liked Tony from the start. He was very good looking and such a snappy dresser. Everybody knew him. The best tables in the best restaurants were always available and it was such fun being chauffeured about in what seemed to be an endless stream of large expensive automobiles. She knew that he was a very important figure in the syndicate. Organized crime, that is. Everybody knew that and like Myrna few cared about Tony's business dealings. One Saturday he stopped by her apartment. They had planned to go to a local amusement park. Myrna was dressed in a light blue tank top and hip hugging tight jeans. She looked like a blue stick with a black mop on one end. They embraced as they often did and this time Tony decided to show how very macho he was. He swung Myrna about and picked her up and dumped her on the sofa. A playful wrestling match began. Myrna turned out to be pretty spunky and Tony was surprised to learn that she was not a total weakling. She was not much of a challenge though. Tony was much stronger and could hold her down with ease. They were both surprised at how much they enjoyed the wrestling. It had never occurred to Tony that Myrna might like to play wrestle even though she had no real chance to win. She said it was a blast and wanted to keep going. They never did make it to the park. Tony was having a great time too. Myrna wasn't his fantasy woman but he could sort of pretend that she was. She had very little in the way of visible muscle yet she did have some strength. Tony pinned her a number of times and also forced her to give up by putting her in painful arm bars, full nelsons, and scissor holds. To Myrna's credit she kept trying and now and then Tony found it annoyingly difficult to get full control of her. Unknowingly, Myrna was doing a reasonably good job of helping Tony play out his fantasies. Wrestling became an important part of their relationship and one sided though it was as far as results were concerned, they both were enjoying the physical contact more and more. After a time, Tony got the idea of having Myrna straddle him and pin him down and see how long she could hold him. Myrna had said that she weighed 120 pounds. The first time they tried it she held Tony's wrists above his head and sat on his chest for nearly a minute before Tony managed to throw her off and pin her. Myrna claimed that it was nearly two minutes while Tony argued that is was not even thirty seconds. He also accused her of weighing more than 120 pounds. They went into the bathroom scale and found that she only weighed 112. Tony was a little embarrassed that he hadn't been able to free himself immediately and yet he liked the feeling of being held by her if only for a short time. Myrna was proud that she had been able to do it at all. Early one evening Tony followed Myrna into the kitchen where she had gone to get a bottle of wine and some glasses. They had just arrived at her apartment and were both in their work clothes of the day. Myrna was in a white blouse and dark skirt with dark panty hose underneath. She had kicked off her shoes and was padding about in stocking feet. Tony was dressed in a customary dark suit and tie except that he had already removed his suit coat and draped it over a chair as soon as they arrived. Myrna had her back to Tony. He put his arms over and around her shoulders intending to turn her toward him. Suddenly Myrna took hold of his wrists and bent forward. She had never done this before and to the surprise of both of them Tony's feet left the floor as Myrna lifted him onto her back with surprising ease. "Am I lifting you?" Myrna squealed in delight because she didn't need an answer. She knew that she was somehow supporting Tony's entire weight on her back. "Geeze, Myrna!! You are!! You can actually lift me! I can't believe it." This was a thrill that Tony had never expected and much as he had fantasized about it, no girl had ever picked Tony up as far back as he could remember. It only lasted for a few seconds and Myrna straightened up and Tony's feet were back on the floor. Tony, of course couldn't let it end there. They went into the living room where Tony directed Myrna to lean over and put her hands on the arm of the sofa for support. Myrna didn't need any urging. She was so pleased with herself that she couldn't wait to try it again. She took the bent over position with both arms and legs held stiff for best support. Tony put his hands on her upper back, then her shoulders and climbed onto her back. One at a time Myrna raised an arm and placed it around one of Tony's dangling legs. She lost a little of her balance and wavered a bit but raised to a standing position without any direction from Tony. Tony had his hands on her shoulders and there they were. Myrna was lifting Tony in the classic piggyback position. Tony was in heaven. He had never thought for a moment that this stick of a woman was actually strong enough to lift him. "Can you walk? Can you carry me around at all," Tony asked? Myrna took a tentative step. She wobbled some but took another step. She bent over a little and tried to hike Tony into a better position just a little higher on her back. It seemed to work. Straightening up, she turned and began to walk ever so slowly. She still wobbled some and Tony did his best to help with the balance. She walked the length of the living room, did a wide turn and came back and then continued on out into the kitchen. All the time she was gaining confidence and becoming more and more pleased with herself. Tony moved his hands down her shoulders so that he could inspect and feel her upper arms under the tension of the situation. His fantasy women all had big, hard, powerful biceps and triceps along with massively muscled forearms that he imagined were thicker than his own upper arm. Myrna's arms didn't come close in size, but the tension did make them surprisingly hard and there did seem to be a little definition because there certainly wasn't any fat. Myrna continued to carry Tony for nearly ten minutes that very first time. Both were thrilled with the experience, but Tony kept his fantasy to himself. They didn't wrestle that evening because Tony kept up a steady request for more piggyback rides. Myrna tried hard to please Tony and did a pretty good job of it but after about two hours of intermittent carrying, she collapsed on the sofa and said she could do no more that evening. Tony told her how proud he was of her and then she struck a jokingly proud double bicep pose and said she couldn't wait to tell her friends at work that she had carried her boyfriend around on her back. "Hold it Myrna. I don't want you telling anyone that you've been carrying me around. Don't get me wrong. It's great that you can do it but it's no good for my reputation. It sounds like you can beat me up and control me and we both know you can't and I just don't want anybody to get the wrong idea." Myrna could see that this was upsetting to Tony so she quickly retreated. "OK Tony, no problem. It will be our little secret. I was just so pleased that I am able to do it." With the secretiveness of their game playing settled Tony began wrestling Myrna about a little rougher than usual to reinforce his position as boss. Tony really liked the piggyback rides and asked Myrna to do it nearly every time they were alone. And then one day Myrna came home wearing really high spiked heels. Myrna usually wore heels that were only one or two inches high but on this day she was wearing one of the few pairs she owned that were really spikes- probably a full five inches that raised her to about 6'2", a full size inches taller than Tony. Usually when Tony approached her for a piggyback ride she had already stepped out of whatever shoes she had been wearing but today she had gone directly to the kitchen with a bag of groceries. Tony noticed the difference immediately. It was as though Myrna was one of the giants of his dreams. Tony was on tip toes to get his arms over her shoulders and Myrna knowing what was coming bent over and Tony went up quicker than ever. What a thrill Tony got. He was way off the floor now. Myrna was a bit unsteady in the heels and wanted to take them off but Tony said no so off they went. It was a little slower than usual but not bad. With all the piggyback rides that she had given Tony she had gotten pretty good at it and she found it only a little more difficult with the heels. Tony began buying shoes for Myrna. Pumps, sandals, sling backs in a wide range of colors and styles all with high spike heels were finding their way to Myrna's closet almost daily. All of them raised Myrna's height to at least six inches above Tony's 5'8". Some of the platform styles raised Myrna to 6'3" or 4". Tony had found a way to make her more like his fantasy and was playing it for all it was worth. He was continually demanding shoe changes while riding Myrna all over the apartment. Myrna tried hard to please Tony. When she first started wearing the heels she had tired and sat down on the coffee table while still holding Tony on her back. She tried hard with a lot of urging from Tony but was unable to stand up again. Now with all the carrying and holding that she was doing she found that she could sit on the table and stand again with some effort and she could do it with the highest most outrageous platform styles that were now part of her large foot-ware collection. She also started going to the gym early in the morning. She thought that she would increase her stamina and maybe even her strength a little so that she would be able to please Tony even more. The gym also offered a self-defense class that she began attending with one of her friends from work. The instructor taught a number of moves to help someone get free from an attacker, possibly incapacitate the attacker giving a person time to get away. Myrna enjoyed the class and all the other gym activities. She only used light weights to begin with and was reluctant to increase poundage even when the instructor suggested it. She was concerned that she might put on too much weight and displease Tony. It bothered her because she noticed that her weight was going up. The instructor assured her that she was doing just fine and that the 12 pounds that she had added over a five month period was very becoming to her still slender figure. He also explained that the 12 pounds was essentially all muscle. Myrna believed him because she was finding it easier and easier to lift and carry Tony. She hadn't told Tony about the gym though because she thought he might not approve. Then it happened. Tony and Myrna were out to one of the restaurants that they frequented. A number of Tony's associates were there too. One of Tony's bodyguards was Richie Bomber, a big guy about 6'2" and a good 220 pounds. He wasn't bad looking but he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed either. He also had a mean streak. Myrna was just coming back from the powder room when it happened. She was wearing a lovely silky dark green cocktail dress and matching pumps. The heels were only three inches though. No really tall spikes were to be worn when she was out with Tony. The heels still made her almost four inches taller than him. Richie was yelling at his girlfriend, Bonnie for some reason. They were standing by the booth where they had been sitting, right in Myrna's path. Suddenly Richie slapped Bonnie and then punched her in the stomach knocking her into one of the booth seats. Bonnie screamed and then moaned as Richie grabbed her hair and pulled her head up preparing to smash his fist into her face. Without thinking, Myrna reached out and grabbed Richie's wrist to pull him away. "Get the fuck out of the way, Myrna," Richie demanded. He wrenched his arm to get free of Myrna's grasp. Without conscious thought Myrna went into action as she had been taught. She used his own movements to her advantage whipping Richie's right arm behind his back and up high on his shoulder blade. Stepping slightly behind him in a fluid motion she placed her foot just below his right knee and stepped on it with all her 124-pound weight behind all the force she could muster. At the same time her other hand came into action so that she was forcing Richie's arm up further in a most unnatural position with both hands. Richie crashed to the tile floor. Many things happened in what seemed to be just an instant in time, and all the consequences given to the reader now would not be known to the observers until a later time. Richie's knee crashed into the tile with such force that the tile cracked. What was not obvious was that Richie's kneecap was also shattered and cartilage was torn in several places. His arm was pulled from its socket and would lie in a grotesque position behind his back when Myrna released it. Also, on the way down, Richie's face smacked hard against the tabletop bouncing, they would say, at least a foot. Exaggeration though the description was, the blow had the telling effect of breaking his nose and neatly removing three of his upper front teeth. Richie was out cold. Myrna had destroyed one of the mobs toughest musclemen in less than five seconds. Tony had just stepped from the men's room and was on the other side of the room when it happened but he had a clear view of the whole thing. The din of voices was everywhere. "Did you see that, I think she broke his arm." "She threw him down like he was nothin'." "I think she killed him." "She just like, body slammed him. How could she do that to Richie? She must be strong as an ox." Tony went into action. "Eddie, get her out of here. Get the car and meet me in the front - NOW!" He felt for Richie's pulse. It was strong. "Call 911 - tell 'um some thug ambushed Richie and got away." As Tony made his way to the door he heard someone say, "That's no lie, except maybe for the ambushed part." Nervous laughter followed Tony out the door. The big black Mercedes limousine was at the door with Myrna sitting alone in the back. To Myrna Tony said, "He'll live." To Eddie, the driver he said, "To the penthouse." They rode in silence. Tony's mind was racing. How could this be? Myrna was a skinny slip of a woman. Yeah, she was stronger than she looked but she was no match for himself and he had just seen her demolish one of the toughest guys in the mob. One thing for sure - Myrna had some explaining to do. Tony's penthouse was a marvelous place. The three top floors plus a large section of the roof of one of the tallest buildings in the city gave it the reputation as the fanciest digs in town. Myrna had only been there a few times. They had done all their game playing at her place because it was comfortable and very private. Myrna was very nervous. What was Tony going to do? Was this the end of their relationship? Not knowing what to say she kept silent. Tony said nothing until they reached the great room of the penthouse. "How the hell were you able to do that to Richie?" Myrna stammered and then murmured something and then told Tony about the gym and the training she had been taking. It just flowed out in a steady stream how she had been working out just so she could please him and that the self defense thing had just been a sort of accident and she had only wanted to please him and she had never done anything like that before and all she wanted to do was get Richie to stop beating up on Bonnie and on and on and on. Tony said, "Take off your dress, I want to look at you." Myrna just starred. She and Tony had never even had an argument. Not even a little one. She had always done as he asked and although he was demanding, he was never mean or threatening. This was different. She began to think that their relationship might be over. Her hesitation infuriated Tony. "TAKE OFF THE DRESS!!!!" Myrna did as she was told. The dress dropped, encircling her feet. Tony starred. Myrna was no longer the mop handle that Tony expected to view. Slim, yes. Skinny, definitely not. Myrna's figure was like that of a tall fitness competitor. Tony's eyes were drawn first to her middle. Myrna actually had a six-pack of abdominal muscles that showed. Her shoulders were noticeable broad and she had hips! Yeah, she had hips, and thighs and calves and biceps and triceps too! Myrna looked fit, no question about it. Tony grabbed her and flipped her to the floor. He straddled her and pinned her wrists above her head. Myrna did not resist. "Now let's see how tough you are, let me see you get out of this." "Tony, please!" "Common, fight me. Try as hard as you can!" Myrna made her decision. She wriggles and twisted and surprised herself at how quickly she rolled Tony to the side and began to pin him. In surprise, Tony relaxed his legs and without thinking Myrna took over with an expertly applied grapevine. She hadn't ever applied such a hold before and knew it only from a hazy recollection of something she saw on TV. She slammed Tony's legs wide open and was rewarded with a loud scream. "YEOW! Myrna - no, no, NO, STOP! PLEASE!" Myrna relaxed the hold some but did not let go. She had his wrists pinned above his head. He was helpless. Just then the phone rang. "Let me up," Tony ordered. "No, let it ring," Myrna disobeyed Tony for the first time. Tony struggled violently. He managed to get one arm up and then the other but Myrna twisted them and now Tony was trapped even worse with his arms wrapped in front of him as though he were hugging himself. "Give up!" It was a demand, not a question. Without waiting for an answer Myrna slammed Tony's legs wide again. "OK, I give, I give," Tony said quickly. Myrna let him up. Tony couldn't believe what had just happened. They talked. It became obvious that neither of them had realized that Myrna had been getting stronger and stronger because of all the lifting and carrying she had been doing for Tony. Coupled with the work and training in the gym, Myrna had packed on some serious muscle along with some knowledge of how to use it effectively. Because Tony was so thrilled with the lifting and carrying, there had been no serious wrestling in quite some time and therefore no real test of Myrna's physical improvement. At Tony's request they wrestled several more times. Tony could not control her. No matter what advantage he started with, Myrna would simply overpower him in a very workmanlike manner. It was maddening and Tony loved it. His fantasy was being fulfilled. The phone rang again. It was Richie. He was in the hospital and was being kept overnight with further examinations planned to be followed by surgery on the knee. Tony told him that Myrna was still really pissed and had threatened to break Richie's other leg if he didn't apologize to her and Bonnie as soon as he got out of the hospital. Tony also told him that Myrna was an accomplished martial artist who should not be trifled with. On top of all his other aches and pains, Richie was now reduced to a heap of quivering jelly. Tony clicked off the phone, smiling. "Wanna be my new bodyguard?" "No thanks", said Myrna. "I'm gonna be your wife." Tony's fantasy was in full swing. He was happy beyond expectations. Myrna was happy too, and she realized something that Tony hadn't. A major role reversal was also in full swing. End.
