The frontier dominatrix
by Hamlet



It was a hot, dry day. Nina Bergsson had been travelling for several days now
and needed to find a place to rest Her horse and resupply before continuing on
to San Francisco and from there She would go back to the Norselandic Bothnian
Islands off the coast of California. As She reached the top of the hill She
saw a town below Her.

" This looks like nice, quiet place to stop and rest for a day or two," She
thought to Herself. As Nina entered the town of Black Rock Colorado , She
noticed a saloon. "

'Nothing like a cold beer on a hot day," She said smiling. Nina led Her horse
to a watering hole,tied him to a post and entered the saloon.

Upon entering She removed Her ten gallon hat, allowing Her long, beautiful
blonde hair to fall over Her shoulders. and down Her back. She was dressed
totally in black shiny leather wearing a leather jacket, leather trousers
kneel length boos and tight leather gloves

She noticed a very large man sitting at a table nearby but paid no attention
to him. " I'd like a beer ", She said to the bartender. As Nina began to
drink, the man rose from his chair and began to walk over to Her.

"Hello there blondie ", he said in a gruff voice; " lost your way ? " Nina
smiled politely and said, " No,I know exactly where I am - and where I'm
going, thank you ".

The man seemed to be taken aback by this display of self - confidence; . " I'm
afraid you didn't quite understand me, cutie pie " he said, "what I meant was,
I'm going to show you around this town - whether you like it or not ".

Nina smiled up at him. If She was afraid She certainly didn't show it. He
stood about six feet three inches tall and must have weighed around 220
pounds. Nina, was taller five feet six inches and 230 pounds

" I'm afraid you didn't understand me, honey; and if you don't back off,
you'll soon wish you had " She warned. Angered by Her impudence he growled "
listen Here Norsi girly, my name is Jim; and I'm the biggest, toughest man in
this Here town. What I want, I get.......and I want you ".

Nina sighed and took a sip of Her beer. She hadn't planned this but neitHer
was She one to back down from a fight - She never had, and She never will.
Putting down Her glass She comely said to Jim,

" Look honey, I have no great desire to beat you up, but I will if I have to -
the choice is yours ".

" Why you pompous Norsi bitch, you need to be taught your place in life - and
I'm just the man to teach you ". Nina giggled when She heard this,

" Sweety, I've eaten tougher men than you for breakfast. 'Now why don't you be
a good boy and go back to your chair ".

Furious at this Jim threw a punch at Her. Nina ducked and, after taking
another sip of beer, threw a punch of Her own, sending the larger man
staggering back. He attacked Her again, throwing punches and swearing. None of
them found their mark as Nina easily avoided them all.

" I hope you have another job, big boy ", She said as She landed several hard
punches of Her own," because you certainly can't make it as a boxer ". A large
crowd began to gather outside of the saloon. They couldn't believe that Jim -
the toughest man in town - was getting his ass whipped by a larger woman. As
Nina battered Jim around the saloon, Her beautiful smile never left Her face.
After about five minutes, Jim was beaten to a pulp. Nina held him up with Her
left hand and said

" The next time a Norse blonde comes into the saloon for a beer, I suggest you
leave Her alone."

She then reared back and sent a powerful right uppercut to Jim's jaw -he was
unconsious before he hit the floor. Nina comely returned to Her beer, took a
sip and said," Yes, there's nothing like a cold beer on a hot day ".

After She finished Her beer, Nina walked over to the beaten man and, grabbing
him by his shirt collar, began to drag him across the street to the Sheriff's
office. The crowd watched in stunned silence as She easily made Her way to the
door. When She arrived She was surprised to find the door locked.

"There hasn't been a Sheriff of Black Rock in months ", a woman from the crowd
said. Nina looked at Her," and why not ? " " Every one of them have been run
out of town, either by the cattlemen or the corrupt gambling interests. No man
has been able to stand up to them. My name is Mary; I'm the Mayor of Black
Rock ". As Nina looked at Her She saw a look of desperation on Her face, as
well as many of the others in the crowd. After pondering this for several
moments, Nina smiled and said, " no man perhaps - but maybe a woman can ".

Mary unlocked the door to the Sheriff's office and the two women entered, Nina
still dragging Jim. Mary opened one of the jail cells and Nina tossed him
inside. They then sat down to talk. " I hope you realize just what you're
getting into," Mary said. This is a very tough town. The cattlemen and
gamblers have the run of the place and the honest citizens just can't afford
to hire enough law enforcement to confront them. Every Sheriff we've hired has
been forced to leave ". Nina thought it over for a minute, then said, " I'm a
big girl, I can take care of myself. I don't believe it's fair that decent
people have to live in fear of bullies - things are going to change around
Here ". Mary swore Nina in as Sheriff and the two women shook hands.

For the first few hours things were fairly quiet in Black Rock. Nina
familiarized Herself with the town. Later, towards evening, some of the
cattlemen came riding into town looking for some fun. It didn't take long
before they became drunk and began to botHer people. Nina heard the commotion
coming from the saloon and sighed, " time to do some house cleaning ". She put
on Her gun belt, with two six guns, and walked towards the saloon.

When She entered the saloon everything became quiet. There were three tough
looking cowboys standing in the middle of the room while people cowered in the
corners. Nina approached the men and said in a calm but firm voice,

" You boys are misbehaving, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put you in jail
for the night. If you come along nicely, I won't have to rough you up ". The
three cowboys looked at each other and laughed. Indeed the scene did appear to
be something of a farce - a lone woman confronting three tough men. The
largest of the three approached Nina and said,

" Now what's a pretty l thing like you doing playing Sheriff ". As he reached
out his hand to grab Her She caught his hand and began to squeeze it...hard.
His arrogant expression turned to fear as he realized the strength of Her
grip. With his free hand he tried to hit Her but Nina blocked his punch.

" Didn't your mother tell you it's not polite to hit girls - especially if
they hit back ". With that, Nina landed a solid right cross to his jaw,
sending him flying clear across the saloon. Seeing this, his two friends drew
their guns.Before they got their guns out of their holsters, however, they
heard two shots and their guns flew out of their hands. Nina smiled as She
pointed Her guns at them.

" Resisting arrest, I'm afraid that now you boys will be going to jail for
awhile instead of just one night.....bad choice ". As Nina holstered Her guns
the two men attacked Her. Two large men against one woman. It appeared to be a
mismatch.....it was....the cowboys didn't stand a chance. Three minutes later
they were lying unconscious on top of their friend.

The citizens began to cheer as Nina grabbed the men by their collars; two with
Her right hand the third with Her left. Despite the fact that they weighed
nearly 600 pounds, Nina had little difficulty dragging them across the street.
She opened the door to Her office dragged them into a cell and placed them
inside. She smiled at a stunned Jim and said,

" You seemed lonely in Here all by yourself Jimmy, so I brought you some
company - I'm sure there will be a lot more in Here before I'm through with
this town ". She winked at him and closed the door. The rest of the night
passed without incident.

NEXT MORNING

" What the hell do you mean they're in jail ? " the rancher demanded. Bill
Walker was one of the most feared cattlemen in the state. He owned a huge
cattle ranch with thousands of head of cattle. With the spring round -up only
a few days away he needed every available man ready for work. " I only heard
about it this morning when they didn't return from town last night ", his
trailboss answered." It seems there's a new Sheriff in town - a woman -and She
arrested them for disturbing the peace ".

Bill Walker stared at his trailboss. " A woman Sheriff arrested three of my
men ?.....you've got to be crazy ". " I didn't believe it myself until I sent
some of the boys to check it out......it's true boss". Bill slammed his
powerful fist on his desk and bellowed,

" Well ..then - we're just going to have to ride into town and straighten this
Here Sheriff out, won't we ".Bill got up and stormed out .He gatHered six
tough cowboys together, " Saddle up men.....we're going to introduce ourselves
to the new Sheriff ".

Nina sat in Her office, comely brushing Her beautiful hair. So far Her first
day as Sheriff was fairly quiet, She beat up only four men. Off in the
distance She heard the sound of approaching horses. She smiled to Herself,"
men, they're so predictable ". As the horses came closer Nina got up and put
on Her gunbelt. The beautiful blonde tied Her hair back into a ponytail and
waited for the arrival of Her " guests ".The horses stopped outside Her office
and a loud, gruff voice bellowed out,

" Sheriff, we'd like to have a word with you ".
