Tara's big bounce By Dreadnaught How Roxanne met Tara The Den was a very posh casino, or at least the sort of place that would have liked to have given the impression it was posh. I had heard of it before. It enforced a rather strict dress code, had plenty of opportunities for anyone to lose their money gambling, and was rapidly gaining a reputation amongst the wealthy and aspiring-to-be wealthy of the city. On the other hand, it already had a reputation as being a good place to get very expensive drugs, as if gambling itself wasn't a bad enough habit. But I had heard other things about the Den as well, and had to check it out for myself. As a guest of the owner, one Mr. Nelson, I found the Den practically rolling out the red carpet for me. I entered the large, smoke-filled chamber and looked around. The entrance was raised compared to the rest of the casino, so that you had a clear view of the entire place before you went down a short flight of stairs to the main level. An enormous bar took up an entire wall, and the floor was filled with various types of gambling tables, dice, cards, roulette, you name it. The place seemed rather deserted considering its reputation, but impressive nonetheless. However, far more interesting than the place itself was the blonde by the entrance. She stood attentively by the door, and my eyes ran up and down her attractive body. She was very tall, taller than I am. Her long blonde hair was tied back in a tight French braid. She had on a black velvet jacket with tails, over a dress shirt with a snappy bow tie, which seemed to be covering a one-piece silky black bathing suit which covered her lower torso. Under the French cut of the bottom part of her suit were a long, shapely pair of legs clad in the sheerest black pantyhose, finishing in a shiny pair of black high-heeled pumps. The overall effect was incredible sexiness coupled with an overwhelming sense of power as she surveyed the room with a certain obvious disdain for those around her. I turned to Nelson. "Who is she?" I asked, indicating the gorgeous woman. "From her dress I'd say she was a magician's assistant." He caught my hint of sarcasm and smiled. "That's Tara. She's our bouncer," he replied. "Oh?" I said hesitantly. "Isn't this place a bit big for one woman to manage?" "Ordinarily we have more people working, but it was a bit quiet tonight, so I think she can handle it. I have complete confidence in her abilities," Nelson said. "Shall we go over for drinks?" I followed him down towards the bar, leaving Tara to her duties. As we walked across the floor I noted the men in dapper tuxedos, the women in their elegant gowns and dresses. Here and there I even recognized a couple. At a roulette table in a white tuxedo was Nick Barnes, a quarterback for the local football team. Undoubtedly the way his team was playing, he'd be trying to win what money he could for when the franchise folded. He concentrated on the spinning roulette wheel intensely, downing drinks at a furious pace. By the bar was Richard Tucker. Uh-oh, this could be trouble. Tucker was a so-called sports journalist for the city newspaper. I say so-called journalist because his field of expertise seemed not to be so much reporting facts of games played, but instead giving loud, vociferous opinions of what he thought of the local teams, their coaches and players, and their ancestry. He stood drinking, talking and joking with a couple of his friends. I anticipated the confrontation but said nothing to Nelson. Nelson proceeded to spend the better part of the next two hours trying to impress me with stories of his business acumen, his attempts at witticism, wonderful tales of the family-oriented business called the Den, and various other uninteresting topics of conversation. Needless to say, he failed to impress me. But my attention did snap back when Tucker, obviously more than slightly inebriated, turned and walked towards a dice table. Unfortunately, to get there, he had to pass Barnes, who had steadily been draining his own succession of drinks with his friends. And Barnes wasn't about to let Tucker pass without throwing a piece of his mind his way. Drunken idiots. Sure enough, Barnes grabbed Tucker's arm as he tried to pass and stood, facing his detractor nose-to-nose. Some words were exchanged, along with threatening glances. Both men's friends moved in to back up their respective man. The crowds around them noticed the obvious tension and began to slowly ease away from the showdown. Tara noticed as well, and she quickly stood and began making her way down towards the main floor. But it was too late to prevent the fight. Even as Tucker muttered some insult into Barnes' face, the quarterback hauled off and slugged Tucker in the face. The crowd, including most of the casino employees, formed a wide circle and gave the two groups of men room as the punches started flying. Tara broke into a run as the fight started. Nelson looked properly horrified next to me. I had to fight off my urge to get involved in the fracas. I wanted to see what would happen next. Tucker had quickly gotten back on top of Barnes and the two men were busy grappling with each other as Tara closed in. Tucker slammed a punch into Barnes' nose, sending the quarterback to the floor. "Break it up!" Tara yelled, grabbing Tucker's arm and spinning him to face her. None of the other men fighting around her paid her the slightest attention, and it quickly became obvious Tucker wouldn't either, as he instinctively threw a punch at the head of the new target who'd grabbed him. And just as instinctively, Tara brought her arm up and blocked the punch. Tucker stood frozen for a second as he realized the person he'd just swung at was the gorgeous blonde from the entrance. Tara just smiled at him. "Oooo, that wasn't a good idea," she told him, then delivered her own punch, a hard right to his jaw. Tucker staggered back and fell near the bar, still looking shocked. Probably the shock of being hit by a woman harder than he'd been hit by a football player would keep him down for a while. Undeterred, Tara turned her attention to two more men grappling near a dice table. "Stop it! Break it up!" she again ordered them, grabbing one man's arm just as he was preparing to punch the other man. He shoved her off as hard as he could and returned to his combat. As Tara stumbled back, I saw the expression on her face change perceptibly. "Okay," she yelled, "If that's the way you guys want it, we'll play your way!" She took the man who had shoved her and spun him around, away from his sparring partner. "Oooo-uff!" The man grunted as she drove the air from his body with a solid punch to his stomach. "Since none of you want to stop fighting, I'll just finish this fight for you!" she announced, then slammed her left fist into the man's chin, sending him stumbling back, falling into the valley of the dice table, where he lay stunned. Turning her attention back to the other startled man, Tara caught him totally offguard by kicking a sexy leg up, the pointed toe of her shoe burying itself in his gut. His feet practically left the floor from the powerful blow as he bent in two. Grabbing his hand, she yanked hard, almost throwing him off the ground as she pulled the man past her and shoved him from behind. He collided into yet another fighter, sending them both crashing into a roulette table and down to the floor. The man who was fighting the target of Tara's projectile turned rapidly to face this new menace, only to find he'd spun into a devastating kick to the face. He cried in pain as Tara's kick sent him spinning around to smash down on the roulette table, sending betting chips and drinks flying. "Nothing like a good fight to get the blood going, right guys?" the tall blonde amazon laughed. Nelson was aghast at what he was watching. His bouncer was proceeding not to break the fight up, but to participate in it! The crowd seemed just as shocked as they watched the curvaceous bouncer put herself in the middle of the brawl. Myself, I was quite enjoying the sight. Tara was magnificent. Barnes and Tucker had recovered and were rolling on the ground near the bar, driving ineffectual punches into each other, grappling madly. Tara strode up and lifted Barnes off the ground and Tucker easily. My God, she was strong. As she manhandled him, she told him, "You guys really should have listened to me." Then wham, a solid right to his jaw sent him tumbling to the bar, thudding into it and sending drinks flying. As Barnes collapsed from Tara's punch, Tucker's eyes bugged out in amazement. "Wh.. what the.." he stammered. Tara reached down and yanked him to his feet as well. "What's the matter, tough guy? Can't handle being beat up by a girl?" While Tucker stammered a response, she raised her fist and drove a hard jab into the middle of his face. "Unngh!" he yelled, blood starting to dribble from his nose. Tara then shifted her grip on the stunned man, turned and flipped him neatly to the ground over her hip. He sprawled flat on his back, breathing heavily and obviously wondering what the hell was going on. Tara wasted no time in plunging back into the midst of the fight. One man rushed bravely at her, throwing a roundhouse swing which she ducked easily. "That's your best??" she teased, throwing a punch into his stomach. Then she stood back up and met his face with the back of her right fist. Whack, the blow sent him sprawling to the floor. "Where I come from the spaghetti puts up a stiffer fight than you," she said with a laugh. Meanwhile, another man had grabbed a bottle and run up to the man Tara had sent onto the dice table. He proceeded to smash the bottle over the head of his unfortunate victim, who passed out on the table. He spun to take on more opponents with the remnants of the bottle in his hand, only to find Tara standing in front of him. She kicked him hard in the side of his ribs, and he grunted with the pain, dropping the bottle. It smashed to pieces on the floor, sending glass fragments flying. Tara took a second to look down at her legs disapprovingly as the man struggled against the pain inflicted by her kick. "These are a very expensive pair of pantyhose, little man," she told him scornfully. "If you put a run in them I will not be happy." He just stared at her in total disbelief, as if he was unable to accept that the same woman who'd just told him to mind her nylons was the same one beating him up. She drove the point home beyond a shadow of a doubt by stepping up to him, bringing her fists up and landing a right-left combination to his face that sent him flying back to sprawl overtop of the bar. "And try not to bleed on my uniform," she said as her first punch hammered home, "Dry cleaning gets so expensive." The second punch landed and the man toppled back. Tara took a moment to check the man on the dice table. He was out for the night, the bottle on the head had seen to that. Tara seemed disappointed. Most likely she was upset she hadn't knocked him out herself. Nelson looked as though he was about to faint. The man Tara had just given the one-two punch to had crashed into the bar not too far away from where we were standing. He was obviously suffering a great deal of pain from the amazon's attentions. Personally I was enjoying the spectacle of the sexy blonde pummeling these tuxedoed goons, as were some other members of the crowd, but Nelson didn't seem to share our tastes. He didn't hire her to participate in a barroom brawl, I'd imagine. He scurried off, undoubtedly to phone the police. The other members of the brawl were quickly getting it through their thick skulls that Tara wouldn't let them fight in peace. "Get the babe!" one of their more astute members cried. Tara turned from the unconscious man on the dice table to find two men rushing at her. Smiling, she swiftly spun on the toes of one foot and launched the other into the air. The sole of her shiny high-heeled shoe smashed into the man's face. "Uuuunggh!" he screamed, the spinning kick sending him plunging back to the floor, barely missing the second man who was still on his way to meet Tara. He came at her groggily, obviously having just about had his fill between the drink and the beatings. As he closed in, Tara lithely stepped aside, and the man wound up leaning over the dice table. She then happily kicked the man in the stomach, and the wind exploded from him as he bent even further in two around her dainty, shapely foot. "I have more trouble getting into my uniform than I'll have knocking you out, little man," she giggled. Another kick landed hard in his midsection, and he gagged loudly as his feet left the floor. She then stepped up, cupping his chin in her left hand and turning his face up towards her, then brought her right down in a savage punch to his eye. He cried in agony and flopped to the floor, out cold. Tara towered over his unconscious body, delighting in seeing the effects of her amazon power on the beaten male. The more I watched her the more impressed I became. She was attractive, strong, athletic, a gifted fighter. I was captivated by her. She had most of the crowd captivated as well, but unfortunately the brawl was spreading, as some of the men fighting were knocked into the crowd, others inevitably wound up getting involved. I watched one man get punched back into a spectator's arms, then spin around and slug the spectator. So it seemed the fight was slowly growing, getting more and more out of control, little by little. As the men fought around her, Tara looked like she could take them all on by herself. She turned to face Barnes and Tucker, who were slowly getting back to their feet. The look in the two men's eyes showed they didn't care one bit what she did, they were more interested in hurting each other. Tara began walking towards them as they locked together in a grapple once more, ignoring the brawl going on around her. Well, almost ignoring. The truth was she was as much a target now as any of the others in the fight. The only real difference was she was much more capable of fending off any attacks. As one man approached her from her side she spun quickly and blocked his drunken punch, replying with a crisp punch of her own to his face. The tuxedoed goon yelped in pain and wobbled shakily back a few steps before falling to the ground. Another man approaching her was stopped as Tara pivoted on one foot and kicked out strongly to her side with her other foot, the sole of her shoe thudding hard into his chest. He tumbled back as if he'd run into a wall, finally landing with a crash on a card table. While her smile showed the delight she was experiencing in smashing these men around, they evidently weren't her main targets. She returned to stalking Barnes and Tucker. The two men were at the bar, grappling desperately with each other for control of a bottle. The two men were simultaneously grabbing at it with one hand each while trying to block the other man, and both were also trying to free their other hands to strike at each other. In other words, it was a test of strength and neither seemed to be winning. And once Tara arrived, neither one would win. "Don't you two wimps know when you're outclassed?" she smirked, coming up behind Barnes. Raising a shapely nylon-clad leg, she proceeded to kick Barnes right in the small of his back. Barnes cried and grimaced in agony, and Tucker practically shoved him off as Barnes' efforts ceased. As before, Tucker's eyes virtually bugged out of his skull as he watched the tall, powerful blonde interfere in his fight. Tara pulled Barnes away from Tucker completely and threw a powerful right to his chin. Her punch sent the quarterback sprawling along the length of the bar, sending drinks flying and glasses shattering as people dodged out of the way. Barnes came to rest lying on the bar, not quite unconscious yet, but getting there. He groaned in agony. Tucker's eyes remained bugged out as Tara turned back to deal with him, smiling seductively. "Wh.. Who the hell are you??" he demanded as she closed in slowly, stalking him. "I'm the bouncer," she replied. "I'm the girl who's gonna knock you out. You gonna try and stop me, little man?" With his face displaying a remarkable cross between shock and fear, Tucker turned and grabbed the bottle he'd been wrestling Barnes for from the bar. Better to have a weapon to deal with this woman, he probably thought. He turned back to face Tara. Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to use his weapon. Tara kicked it out of his hand before he'd even gotten the chance to wield it properly. Still obviously shaken by the power she was demonstrating, Tucker backed away. "C'mere, wimp.. you wanted to fight, now give me one," Tara smirked as she closed back in on him. Tucker swung furiously at her head, hitting nothing as she expertly dodged out of his reach. Then she brought her leg up, kicking him hard in the kidney area. "Uuu-UUNH!" Tucker cried, wrapping his arms around his battered middle. Without bringing her foot down to touch the floor, Tara kicked up again, her sexy shoe meeting his chin this time. The kick spun Tucker around and sent him bouncing off the bar before he collapsed to the floor at her feet. "Boy, it's a good thing you guys are drunk, or else I might have to work up a sweat knocking you out," Tara teased gleefully. Tucker just lay where he'd fallen and moaned. She was beating these men easily, all right. A great many of them looked like they were running out of steam. The ones who didn't hadn't faced her yet. The brawl carried on around her. Even as she beat one man down, another would approach. Immediately after landing that incredible kick to Tucker's face, a man grabbed her from behind, wrapping his arms around her and pinning one of her arms to her side. She reacted quickly by shooting the elbow of her free arm back into the side of the man's face. He yelled in pain and released her. Tara spun around and lifted her knee into his stomach, knocking the wind violently out of him. Then she saw it. "Dammit, you did give me a run in my pantyhose!" she cried. I had to laugh at her insignificant-seeming concern in the midst of all this chaos. Bringing her attention back to the man in front of her from her legs, she yelled at him, "Do you have any idea how much a pair of these costs, you bastard?" Before he had a chance to respond, both of Tara's fists had rocketed into his face as she launched one of her skillful combinations. Whack-whack, the two punches shook his head violently and sent him stumbling off to the floor. Satisfied at the punishment she'd given him, Tara looked around for more victims. Off behind her, a man in a black tux punched another in a white tux hard in the face. The white tux landed back on the roulette table, and his sparring partner quickly closed in and locked his hands around his throat. Both men looked exhausted as they continued to struggle. Tara wasted no time in interfering. "I can't believe you guys are knocking each other out when I'd be glad to do it for you," she joked, stepping up and punching the man in the black tux hard in the side of his ribs. He grunted loudly and released the other man. Tara pulled him up to face his new adversary, then caught him in the face with a short, sharp punch. Another cry of pain and he stumbled back, grabbing at the table for support, eventually winding up on his knees. Tara turned to face the man in the white tux, who had somehow managed to pull himself off the table to his feet, although he looked like he wouldn't be able to do much more. He just wobbled menacingly as he faced her. Grinning, she wound up for a punch. "Sweet dreams, wimp boy," she told him. Her punch blasted through his jaw and finished him off, but somehow he managed to absorb most of the force from the blow. Instead of flying back onto the table he took the punch and began to sag slowly, wilting like a flower, drooping to his knees and then onto his side, at the feet of the beautiful woman who'd knocked him cold. She then turned back to the other man, who was still on his knees, gripping the table firmly as he struggled against the beating she was giving him. Tara looked down on his grimacing face with amusement. "This girl's just too much for you, huh?" she laughed, then drove her knee up hard into his nose. It broke, sending blood droplets flying as he crashed back to the floor. The amazon chalked up another k.o.'ed male victim with a grin. By this time I could have sworn I heard sirens off in the distance. Damn, it figured Nelson would call them in to break this up. And Tara was having such a good time, too. The shapely blonde would easily win this brawl if it would be allowed to run its full course, but it looked like she wouldn't get the chance. Still, it might be for the better. I'd been having a hard enough time just keeping myself from getting involved. As the brawl continued, the idiot men continued to inflict punishment on each other, making Tara's attacks all the more effective and damaging. She came up behind two other men locked in a grapple. Snaking her arm around one man's neck, she stuck him in a powerful headlock, pulling him off his male opponent. Once she had him in a close grasp, she addressed the other man. "I'll take it from here," she told him, then kicked him hard in the face, using the man she had in the headlock for balance. "Uuuu-UUNGGH!" the man screamed as Tara's kick spun him down to the floor. "You know, you guys fight like cream puffs. Imagine all you men letting a girl whip you so bad," Tara smiled as the man tried desperately to loosen her headlock. He pulled at her arms with all his might, but he couldn't budge them. "That's not gonna help you, little man.. I could keep you in this hold all night if I wanted to," the blonde amazon told him, taunting him and his puny struggles. Then he was free, spinning around in her grasp to face him. "But I don't have all night," she grinned, then punched him in the jaw. He flopped back a few steps to a card table and sagged down beside it, the strength gone from his body. He too slumped over, unable to resist the might of Tara's man-destroying fists. At the bar, Tucker was painfully trying to find his way to his feet while Barnes was slowly, delicately easing himself off the bar. Tara was definitely having an impression on these two fools. They moaned and groaned as she sauntered her way back towards them. The fight was definitely winding its way down as more and more men succumbed to either each other or Tara's powerful beatings. Tara only had to stop once on her way to the bar, as a foolish man ran up and began a swing at her head. She quickly interrupted him with a rapidfire jab to his chin, paf. He grunted as her fist impacted, then again, louder, as she followed up the jab with a second punch, a looping hook to his eye. The man fell back away from her, and she calmly resumed her course to the bar. The sirens were approaching, becoming louder and louder in the meantime. It was Barnes' turn to bug his eyes out at the awesome blonde amazon in front of him as he stood. "I.. I've never seen a girl fight as well as you," he stammered. Tara laughed and approached him menacingly, her fists ready to deliver even more harm. "Maybe if you fought more like a man and less like a limp noodle, you wouldn't have so much trouble with me," she teased him. Barnes prepared to face her when Tucker provided a needed distraction. He'd grabbed a high bar chair and come up behind Tara, somehow managing to raise the chair and swing it down at her despite his weakened condition. Tara noticed just in the nick of time and dropped flat. The chair smashed to cinders on the bar, missing her harmlessly. Unfortunately, the distraction gave Barnes time to recover from his shock and realize the only chance he had of emerging from this fight was to help Tucker try to overpower the fighting woman. As Tara sprung back to her feet in front of him, he swung. The punch landed on Tara's jaw. It wasn't a hard punch; Barnes didn't have anything approaching his full strength left after enduring Tara's punishments, but it was still enough to knock her back a few steps, into Tucker's waiting arms. He tried to wrap his arms around her and pin her arms down. Barnes said, "Your turn to take a few hits now, honey," and closed in. Tara shook off the effects of his punch, and gave him a look approaching annoyance. "You really shouldn't have done that, little boy," she snarled. Before either man could react, her shapely right leg, encased in the sheerest black nylon, kicked up, her foot slamming Barnes in the side of his face. The professional football player howled in agony as her kick whirled him around and sent him flying head-first over the bar, glasses and bottles smashing as they toppled off the bar and the wall behind. He bounced around behind the bar like a pinball, finally coming to rest on the floor with his feet still resting up on the bar. He wasn't moving. Having polished off one of her adversaries, Tara immediately started on the other, like a true professional. She easily loosened Tucker's grip on her by moving her right arm forward and slamming it back into his gut. "Ooo-oof!" he yelled. As he lost his grasp, she reached up and behind, grabbing the back of his neck, then leaned forward and flipped him expertly over her shoulder. "You got more than you bargained for messing with me, didn't you, tough guy?" she taunted him. He just groaned as he lay sprawled out at her feet. The sirens practically sounded like they were right outside now, but Tara had the situation well in hand, and she knew it. There were only about four or five men still standing at this point, and no one else in the crowd had been dumb enough to join in the fight against her. She stepped away from Tucker to give some encouragement to her remaining male opponents. "C'mon guys, you want to have to tell your buddies a girl beat you up in a bar tonight?" she laughed at them. A couple of men groggily charged at her, growling obscenities. The dazzling amazon quickly dispatched one with a swift punch to his chin, sending him stumbling back to the floor next to the card table. Tara then quickly raised her arm and blocked the other man's punch, replying by burying her fist in his stomach. Her victim groaned and bent in two, staggered back a step, then straightened up to see Tara doing a graceful pirouette before him, her head spinning around to target his face for a powerful spinning kick. The sole of her well-polished shoe plowed into his face with a loud snap, he spun away from her and landed on the roulette table, the force of her kick practically sending him flying through the air. As drinks and gambling chips flew off the table, he lost consciousness. I was starting to lose count of all the men Tara had knocked out so far. She quickly returned to the other target and pulled him to his feet with a smile. "Another man done for the evening," she said as she assessed the punch-drunk man in her grasp. "Goodnight, wimp." Tara drew back her fist and authoritatively slammed home a knockout punch. The man staggered back, fell into the card table and rolled down to the floor, knocked senseless next to another victim of Tara's amazon power. She smiled with satisfaction. Tucker was behind her, slowly and agonizingly trying to fight off the effects her fists had had on him and stand up. He saw Tara notice him and turn her attention back to him. "No, please! Leave me alone.." he cried as she slowly approached him with an evil grin. He practically had to shout to make himself heard over the wail of sirens and final noises of the dying brawl. "Hey, you were the one who wanted to fight, little man.. I'm just finishing what you started," Tara told him. He tried a last desperate swing at her head once she had closed him down, only to find the girl easily blocking his punch. "Knocking all you sad little boys out sure gave this girl a good workout," she laughed, then her fist shot up, her jab landing straight on his nose. He screamed as more blood came forth, his knees wobbling threateningly. "I'm just sorry it ended so soon. I'd wake you all up and take you on again if I could," Tara teased. Her other fist shot up and punched him in the chin, and he began to sag back, leaning against the bar for support. She'd done it again. Tucker was running on empty, his body not yet willing to acknowledge the fact that Tara's punches had driven all consciousness out of him. His eyes rolled up in the bruised, bloodied remnants of his face. Just at that moment the door burst in, and dozens of police officers fanned out, running towards the bar. "Damn," Tara cursed. "Just when I was getting warmed up, too. Sleep well, asshole." She had time to punch Tucker in the jaw one last time, but it was all she needed. Tucker's head rocked with her strong punch, then his knees gave out and he slumped down, into a little ball underneath the attractive legs of the woman who'd k.o.'ed him. Tara had a moment to beam down at her impressive handiwork. Then the police were on top of everyone, guns drawn. "Everyone, don't move!" they yelled. For a moment Tara looked like she didn't care, like she'd be willing to knock out all these additional targets despite the hail of lead that would head her way if she tried. But her common sense prevailed and she placed her hands on her hips. Even in that position I was impressed by her, knowing the power she held in that beautiful, seductive body of hers. I took the opportunity to look around. Three men were still standing, and they had beaten each other so badly that they would have easily been put down by a couple of punches from Tara each. Definitely a victory for the "weaker" sex, I'd say. About an hour later I found myself outside the casino. The police quickly found they'd need some ambulances on the scene as they tried to wake Tara's male victims. I watched the police escort Barnes, Tucker and the other participants in the brawl outside. They all sported a variety of injuries, mostly inflicted by the amazon. I saw black eyes, bloody noses, bleeding lips, bruised ribs, cuts and bruises aplenty, and revelled in the notion that the vast majority of them had been inflicted on these big, strong men by one girl. I decided to take a walk in the cool night air as the chaos died down. The police had pretty much charged everyone involved in the brawl with drunken and disorderly conduct, assault, half a dozen other charges. Those that needed medical attention had been whisked off by the ambulances, and that was most of them. The only person I hadn't seen run off by the authorities was Tara herself. As I rounded a corner to head behind the casino I discovered why. Tara sat on the bumper of a car, her head in her hands, obviously distraught. She was still in her bouncer's uniform, although the effects of the brawl was obvious on it. She was slightly unkempt, but still lovely, radiant with her power. Without thinking, I approached the depressed girl. "Are you all right?" I asked. She practically sprung from her seat, fists coming up instinctively. "It's okay," I said immediately, trying to seem as non-threatening as possible. "I just wanted to see if you were all right." She relaxed her guard, then sat back down on the car bumper. "Yeah, I'm fine," Tara said glumly. "You sure?" I pressed. "You seem kind of down now." "I am," the amazon replied. "I just got fired." "What? Why?" "Well, the cops wanted to press charges against me as well as everyone else involved in that fight. Mr. Nelson told them he'd handle it, then he gave me this big lecture about how he hired me to make sure fights like that didn't start, not to get involved in them. Then he gave me my notice." "And this job meant a lot to you, didn't it?" Tara looked up at me. "Yes, it did," she answered. "It's the first thing I've done where I felt I was really putting my skills to good use." "You certainly displayed a lot of skill in that fight," I complimented her. She smiled at me, the beauty returning to her face. "Thanks.. that fight was a joke, though. In the neighborhood where I grew up they knew how to fight. Those guys in there were just a bunch of drunks in tuxes, they didn't have a chance putting their fists up against mine." I smiled at the obvious pride in her voice. "Yes, but even though they were unskilled, you still took all of them on, and won. That's very impressive." Tara's smile widened. "Thanks." She looked down again briefly, noticing the now-large run in her silky, sheer pantyhose. She stretched her leg out to assess the damage. "Tch! These nylons are so damn expensive. How am I supposed to replace them now?" "I have an idea," I told her. She sat up attentively. "You do enjoy fighting men, don't you?" She grinned. "Yeah, I do. I learned how to fight when I was young.. in my neighborhood you had to. I always loved the feeling of being able to beat men up. The older I got, the stronger I got. Pretty soon I was in a street gang, and I got a reputation as a fighter. When I got out of the gang, Nelson offered me work here as a bouncer. He said it'd help clean me up and improve my image," she snorted, sarcastically. "It gave me good money, but I did want to fight men, not tell them to calm down. And now I'm out of work." I nodded. "How would you like to be able to fight men and get paid for it?" Tara immediately sat up and beamed at me. I knew I had her. "Good," I giggled. "My name is Roxanne.." "And that's how I met Tara, Mr. Black," Roxanne finished. She lay on the sofa in my office, smiling at me. I was at the other end of the sofa, her stockinged feet in my lap as I gave her the foot massage she'd demanded in exchange for the story. The skirt of her business suit had ridden up around her crotch, exposing a fantastic display of shapely leg. But despite my arousal, I'd hung on every word she'd told me. "That's one hell of a story," I gasped. "When did all that happen?" I moaned as she started playing with the obvious erection in my pants with the toes of one foot. "About a year ago," she smiled. "Mmm.. massage harder." I followed her instructions as she continued. "She agreed to work for me, and then we started looking for a suitable place to demonstrate our fighting abilities." "And you picked my place." "Eventually, yes. We looked around quite a bit first, and we added Nina to our roster as well. We wanted an ideal situation.. and manager," she said, pressing her foot against my bulge, making me moan even louder. Between Roxanne's attentions and her incredibly exciting story, I quickly proceeded to orgasm on the spot, much to her delight. I blushed in embarrassment at the spreading stain on the crotch of my pants, but Roxanne just kept grinning down at me. "Shoes," she commanded after I had exhausted myself. I quickly retrieved her black heeled pumps and put them on her waiting feet. She swung her legs off the sofa and stood, looking down on me. "You should really go and clean yourself up, Mr. Black," she laughed. "You seem to have made a mess again." I winced and blushed even brighter. "You do have that effect on me," I muttered. "Have you decided on a card for this weekend's fights?" "Not yet," she said thoughtfully. "I want to come up with something different, innovative. I'll let you know when I have something." "Meanwhile, you could always tell me how you met Nina," I said hopefully. Roxanne laughed. "Some other time, Mr. Black. I don't want you passing out from too much excitement." She turned and left my office, while I looked around for something to mop myself up with.
