The Amazon Combat Arena By Submissive Romantic Edited by michael-leonard Author's Note: This story was written as a tribute to some of the authors that influenced my writing and some of the stories that I enjoyed again and again over the years. I particularly wish to thank: Coedboxer - Sparing Partner 1 & 2 (This is a continuation of that story.) Roger Downs & Al Harder - The Amaflix Story & Joanne BOS - Light Switch I & II Dragon - Fembox I I freely admit that I borrowed unashamedly from their writings when telling this story. Prologue: "Julio, you've got to pull that jab back quicker or a better fighter is going to be feeding you leather," Mike shouted as he studied the two fighters in the ring. "Don't make me come in there to prove it to you." Mike was the instructor and the night manager of The Power House, a gym for boxers and those serious about fitness and improving their bodies. He'd had a reasonably successful amateur career, but when he indicated that he wanted to turn pro, Gus, his trainer and good friend, had urged him to reconsider. "Mike, you're pretty good," he said, "Probably the best student of boxing that I've ever trained; but you don't have the intensity and the tools you need to fight at the pro level. I like you too much to see you become a palooka. You'd be better off as an instructor. Teach those that have the tools and the desire to be a pro fighter; you give them the skills they need." "Mike, telephone," Angie, the owner's daughter, shouted from the doorway of the shabby business office as she hung the handset with the long stretched-out cord on a nail just to the right of the door. "Yea, this is Mike." "Mike, this is Jake. That woman you asked me to keep an eye out for is here in my gym." Momentarily, Mike was confused, but then he remembered who Jake was talking about. It had been nearly two years since he had last seen her and he had assumed that she had left the area. "Jake, keep her there; I'll be there in about ten minutes. Don't let her leave." "I don't think there's a guy in this gym that can keep her from doing what she wants to do; if she wants to leave, I for one will not stand in her way. If you want to see her you'd better hurry; she's already gone through two sparring partners, and I believe there are only two more who have signed up for her tryout." Mike practically ran into the office and hung up the phone. "Angie, I've got to go out for a couple of hours, I'll be back to close up this evening." He ran out of the office before she could mount an argument and got into his car. As he drove across town his thoughts drifted back to the first time he had met her... _____________________________ It had been a long day, he was tired and all he wanted was to close up for the night. The gym was deserted; he was just cleaning up a little before he locked up for the evening when she walked in. "I'm sorry you can't work out...." "Don't tell me I can't work out here, I have every right to work out here. What are you a male chauvinist pig or something? I've been boxing for years and I could probably kick the asses of most of the guys that train here." "Listen lady, I don't care how long you've been boxing; it's late, I'm tired, and I just want to close up. And besides, I've yet to meet the woman that can beat a man in the ring." "No you listen, Bubba; why don't we settle this in the ring. If I win I get to work out for an hour, if you win I pick up my stuff and leave." Without waiting for his answer she took off her jacket, removed a pair of gloves and wraps from her bag, and climbed between the ropes. Mike was certainly impressed by her athletic body. At about five feet ten inches she was two inches taller than him, and probably weighed in at around one hundred fifty pounds. She was real easy on the eyes. If she wasn't so obnoxious he would have asked her to join him for a drink. Instead, knowing that he had no other choice than to indulge her in the ring, he grabbed a pair of gloves and wraps, and climbed in after her. He set the alarm for two-minute rounds and waited for the sound of the bell. He would take it easy on her, not wishing to hurt her and run the risk of legal trouble down the road. By the end of the first round, however, he had changed his mind about her abilities. She was no creampuff. She had hit him with several solid shots and had him in trouble near the end of the first round. By the end of the second round, if the fight was being judged, he would be ahead on points. But she had taken his best punches and had kept pressing forward. As he gazed across the ring, admiring the female warrior resting her arms on the top rope, he became aware that he was becoming erect, and his gym shorts failed to hide his obvious arousal. Just before the start of the next round, she shouted across the ring, "I see you enjoy hitting a woman; I hope you enjoy it as much when I beat your ass into the canvass." Near the end of the third round he caught her with a clean left hook and a solid straight right, which put her on the canvass. As he counted her out, he experienced a very satisfying orgasm. He helped her to her feet and onto a stool as she slowly recovered. She spied the wet spot on his shorts and smirked. "I see beating up a woman gets you off. Well I hope you enjoyed it, because I'll be back and we'll see if you equally enjoy getting your ass kicked." With that she stormed out of the gym and he all but forgot about the incident. It was more than six months later while he was working out after a particularly stressful day that he heard a voice call out. "If it isn't Bubba. I told you I'd be back; this time we'll see if you get off on getting your ass kicked by a woman. I've been training hard since our last fight and I think it will turn out a lot different this time." Mike stood admiring her as she shed her sweats and climbed into the ring. She had looked good the last time he saw her; now she looked magnificent. Her shoulders and arms appeared thicker than before and the thickness around her middle had disappeared revealing a set of well-defined abs. Was it just his imagination, or did she appear to be a little taller now as well? "Same rules as before," he said as he set the timer. When the bell sounded for the first round she came out more cautiously, and with a look of intense concentration. He threw a couple of jabs just feeling her out and was shocked when he was rocked with a solid right hook. She pressed her advantage for the entire first round putting him on defense fighting for his life. When the bell ended her onslaught, she walked confidently back to her corner saying, "I told you I been training hard. This time I think you're the one who's going to end up on the canvass." The second round was no better for Mike. She proved to be a lot stronger than him, and seemed impervious to his best punches. Just before the end of the second round, she caught him in his corner and pounded away at his body, trying to bring his guard down so she could end the fight. When the bell sounded she turned and walked back to her corner. Mike just leaned back against the ropes; he had not even heard the bell over the ringing in his ears from the brutal beating he was enduring. He had recovered slightly but was still in trouble when the bell sounded for the third and most likely final round. "It won't be long now. I see you're enjoying this fight as much as the last one," she taunted him, indicating the tenting of his shorts and the small wet spot that had already appeared. She forced him back into his corner with a series of solid jabs, easily penetrating his meager defense. "I think it's almost time for you to cum," she said." I'm going to keep beating you until you do." Left and right uppercuts banged into his body. He was practically out on his feet; her brutal body shots the only thing keeping him upright. "Okay, I think I want you to cum now." She threw a left jab that knocked his gloves away from his face just long enough for her to launch a perfect right hook that landed with cruel intent on his left cheek. His head twisted with the power of the punch, his legs collapsed, and he felt his body slide down the front of hers. His face moved down the valley formed by her firm breasts, down her washboard abs, and ended its slide between her muscular thighs. The aroma of her arousal was apparent, for she had orgasmed several times during the fight. Just as she stepped back allowing him to fall forward towards the mat, he felt his body being rocked by an explosive orgasm that sent cum rocketing through his still-erect cock and into his shorts. She didn't even bother to count as she removed her gloves and wraps. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself; maybe we can do this again sometime." With that she left the ring and walked out of his gym ... and, seemingly, out of his life. Chapter 1 Mike came out of his day-dream just as he approached Jake's Gym. He found a parking space right in front of the place; he parked his ten year old Honda Civic and walked swiftly into the relative darkness of the old time-style, single-ring gym. Jake was there to meet him. "That her?" Mike looked up at the blonde standing in her corner. Her back was to him so he couldn't be sure. His gaze was drawn to the fighter sitting on the stool in the opposite corner. He didn't look good. His corner man was applying an ice bag to his left eye, desperately trying to bring down swelling that had all but shut the eye. There was blood running out of his nose, some of which was smeared all over his face and chest. At that point his attention was drawn back to the blonde; she had just turned around and was using the upper rope to stretch her obviously heavy muscled shoulders and arms. "Bubba, is that you? I was just thinking about you. Why don't you get changed and put on some gloves." "I just came here to talk." "Okay. This won't take long; I'll see you in a couple of minutes." It took less than a minute. The bell rang and she practically ran across the ring, catching her already-defeated opponent still in his corner. Several hard uppercuts to his ribs brought down his guard and a savage left hook sent him down to the canvass. The referee started his count as she calmly walked back to her corner, removing her gloves and wraps as she went. She was out of the ring and standing directly in front of him as the ref reached the end of his count. "So, you wanted to talk?" "Yeah, can I buy you a cup of coffee?" "Make it a beer and you got a date. Just let me wash off this blood and clean up a little first." As she turned towards the women's locker room, Mike realized that he was actual a little shaky, such was the overpowering sexuality that she possessed. She was at least three inches taller and judging from her muscularity at least thirty pounds heavier than him. Twenty minutes later, she came out of the locker room, dressed in jeans and a tight tee-shirt that did little to hide her obvious assets. Mike turned to her saying, "Since we're not dressed for the Ritz, why don't we just walk down the street to the corner bar? It's not much to look at, but the beer is ice cold and the burgers are big and juicy." "That sounds good to me," she said as she reached into her pocket and handed Jake a handful of her business cards. "Tell those guys that they passed the first audition and if they want to earn some extra money they can reach me at that number." When they reached the pub, they found themselves a corner booth and put in an order for a couple of drafts and a couple of burgers. "You know we've never been properly introduced; I'm Mike." "I'm Karla; it's a pleasure to meet you. We'll just forget about those previous encounters and start fresh. Okay?" "Alright. What was that all about back at Jake's? "I came here for a couple of reasons; first of all I'm looking for some fighters to work in my gym," she said, handing him her card. "The Amazon Combat Arena," he read. "That sounds intriguing, what's it all about?" "We promote physical combat between men and women; boxing, wrestling, and martial arts. I'm always on the lookout for new talent. There was a break in the conversation as the bartender brought over their beer. "Mmmm that's good," she sighed after a healthy swallow, "just what I needed after a good workout." "Karla, you said there was another reason why you came here today." "There is Mike; I'm also looking for a new boxing instructor. That used to be my job, but I'm just too busy to give the proper attention that the position requires. I'm ashamed to say it but, because I wasn't aware of how much one of my female fighters had improved, I put her in the ring against a novice fighter. She ended up beating him pretty badly. It's lucky for me that he's a really nice guy and accepted my apology and agreed to stay on and not sue me. "My plan was to stop by your place after I got finished at Jake's. I figured I'd see if there were any prospective fighters that I could use, but more importantly I was coming to see you." Just then their burgers came and the conversation was put on pause. "This burger is delicious and so juicy; it's almost decadent. I can imagine what my conditioning instructor would say if she knew I was eating something like this." As they ordered a second round of beers, Karla reached into her bag for an envelope and handed it to Mike. "Mike, before you open it I just want to thank you. It was you who got me into this business and showed me where the real money was to be made. Our first fight confirmed something I instinctively knew: that there was something sexual in women fighting men. Even though I lost that first fight, I was so turned-on by the end of it that I just had to get out of there before it turned into something I wasn't ready for. It was obvious that you were turned-on as well. "The second fight was the real eye opener for me. Even though you were getting your ass kicked -- sorry but there's no other way to put it -- you were still highly aroused, to the point where you erupted even as you were heading to the canvass." At that point Mike could feel the heat on his face. His cheeks were flushed from embarrassment. "Mike, don't be embarrassed; you can't imagine how many times I came during that fight. On the way home I began to wonder how many men -- and women for that matter -- would watch a mixed boxing match just for its sexual appeal alone. That's when I started to investigate the possibility of turning my fledgling gym up in the hills into a venue for showcasing females in various forms of combat with men. "When I heard about the mega-dollars that the headline boxers generate on a pay-per-view basis, I knew that's where I wanted to take my company. I sunk every penny my parents left me into this new venture. I hired a computer whiz who set up the systems, a director of photography to create the product, and about twenty men and women to provide the content. These were actual fights, both boxing and wrestling. At first we just recorded the fights and built up inventory. When I felt I had enough content, I started advertising in men's magazines, in fitness magazines, and on some porn sites. At first we sold individual fights on DVDs, then I started a monthly subscription service giving access to most of our library, with an extra pay-per view fee for our premium fights. It started slowly at first, but in the last year it's really taken off worldwide. Our current membership is over a million viewers, in addition to pay-per-view specials." "Where do I fit into this picture?" As he asked, he glanced down at the envelope inscribed with his name, "Mike Wilson". 'How did she know my name? We just introduced ourselves a few minutes ago.' Seeing the puzzled look on his face as he stared at the envelope, Karla commented. "I had you thoroughly checked-out before I came here, Mike. I don't hire just anyone for my company. I've worked too hard and invested too much money to endanger it in any way. I spoke to Gus Brown personally. He gave you a glowing recommendation by the way. Go on, open it." Mike finally awoke out of his stupor, opened the envelope, and pulled out a two-page letter. It was a job offer to be the boxing instructor for the Amazon Combat Arena. What shocked him was the salary he was offered. 'That can't be right, must be a typo.' He was about to question her when Karla said, "That's not a mistake, that's your monthly salary." "Monthly? That's more than I make in a year." "I know $10,000 a month sounds like a lot, but I'm asking you to supervise and train twenty women and approximately fifteen men at any one time. Plus you'll be asked to assist the mixed martial arts instructor teaching some of her weaker strikers how to punch and how to defend against strikers. You'll also be entitled to royalties from any of the fight films that you participate in." "Fight films? "Sure. All of my employees, including myself, are regularly scheduled for fights that are added to our inventory. And when you're not fighting or training anyone, you'll be following a strict workout routine designed by our strength and nutrition coach. Basically, once you sign on, your ass is mine." "You know that part of my compensation at The Power House includes use of the apartment in the back of the gym." "You call that an apartment; I'd call it more like a closet. Don't worry; I have plenty of room in my place. All of my management team lives together in a house I own. We work together, eat together and play together." "OK, OK. Do you have a pen?" "Wonderful. Welcome aboard Mike, I'm so glad you accepted my offer." "How could I refuse? Now, I just have to give my two-week notice to my boss. He'll either ask me to stay on until he finds my replacement, or he'll fire me on the spot and tell me to move by the end of the day." "No problem. If he fires you just come to the Arena; here are the directions." After finishing their beers -- and a brief disagreement over who would pay, which Mike was finally forced to concede to her will -- they walked back to Jake's. They stopped next to his car and Mike offered his hand. Karla took it in hers, but instead of shaking it she pulled him into a bear-hug embrace and whispered, "Mike, I assure you: you won't regret coming to work for me." Karla then picked up her gym bag, turned, and walked down the street. Mike watched her for a moment and then unlocked his car. He was just about to pull out when a shiny black Dodge Charger Hellcat pulled up next to him, paused, and then laid a patch of rubber nearly all the way back to the bar. Chapter Two When Mike returned to the gym, he made a call to his boss. After enduring five minutes of yelling and screaming and being called an ungrateful bastard, he was told he was fired and that he should clean his stuff out of the apartment by the end of the next day. By noon the next day Mike had his clothes and personal effects in the back seat of his car and was heading out of the city. He soon found himself driving through the affluent suburbs north of the city. It took an additional half an hour for him to leave the developments behind. He almost missed his final turn, taking him off a country road and onto what turned out to be a long, tree-lined, driveway. After a thousand yards the trees thinned out and he entered a clearing. Ahead was a huge warehouse-like building; a large sign over the front door read The Amazon Combat Arena. To his left he could see a large house, which would fit in perfectly on a family farm in Iowa. Looking around the sides of the Arena, Mike could see at least a dozen small cottages. Mike parked in front of the big building and went inside in search of Karla. Once inside he was overwhelmed. It was brightly lit and had room for three professional sized rings for boxing or wrestling, plus a full-sized octagon. There were also areas with circuit training machines, treadmills and stationary bikes, free weights, heavy- and speed-bags, and matted areas for floor exercising and stretching. To his left, against one wall, he spotted a series of doorways, which he assumed led to offices. As he approached his assumption proved correct. It resembled a medical office, with a small sliding glass window next to the door. A pretty blond sat at a desk on the other side of the glass, which she slid open to greet him. "Can I help you?" "I'm here to see Karla. My name is Mike Wilson." "Mike, Karla told us to expect you. Come on in." When Mike reached for the door handle he heard a buzzing and the clank of a lock snapping free. Entering the office he was again impressed over the crisp clean profession décor of the reception area. "Have a seat, Mike, Karla will be out in a couple of minutes." Before Mike took a seat he scanned the rest of the office, besides the receptionist there were two other people visible. One was a small, nerdy looking guy, who was busy pounding away on a keyboard, only occasionally glancing at first one screen and then the other screen perched in front of him. The other person, a cute brunette, sat at her desk. There were two large monitors mounted on a frame on one corner of her desk. A remote keyboard sat in her lap as she leaned back in her oversized chair typing furiously. After only a minute, Karla emerged and said, "Mike, it's good to see you again. Come on in, I've got some papers for you to sign and then I'll give you a tour of our facilities." He followed her as she entered her office. He had to chuckle as he read the back of her tee-shirt. It was a picture of a heavily muscled female boxer, standing over an equally strong looking male who had obviously been severely beaten by the female. The quote over the picture read, "A hard man is good to beat". She went around her desk and sat across from him. Pulling out two copies of an employment contract, she said, "Read it if you want but basically it formalizes the offer sheet we already discussed. You'll be getting the winner's royalty rate, 10%, on all videos you participate in; in those in which you act as referee, you get 1%. Your salary will be $10,000 a month, plus medical coverage, plus two weeks vacation, ten holidays, and room and board." For Mike it was a no brainer; taking the offered pen, he signed both copies. Karla, in turn, signed both copies, handed him one for his files, and kept one copy for herself. "Welcome aboard, Mike. I think, for the most part, you're going to enjoy working here. If you keep an open mind, train hard, and obey the rules you'll make a lot of money and be around for a long time. Now come on lets walk around; I'll introduce you to the rest of the crew." In the outer office, they walked up to each of the employees. "This is Ira, he's our accountant. He's in charge of payroll and royalties. Ira, this is Mike, he's our new Boxing Instructor. "Pleased to meet you Mike. When you get done with your tour, please come see me; I have a bunch of employment forms for you to fill out." "Over here is Cathy; she's our computer guru. She's in charge of cyber-security and her rules are to be followed without question. Our computers are our life blood, and the most vulnerable part of our business." The small brunette looked up from her keyboard. "Hi Mike, I'm looking forward to working with you." Mike was impressed with the firmness of her grip. He thought to himself, 'she maybe petite, but she certainly appears to be athletically built'. "And this is Linda. She's our receptionist and my personal administrative assistant. Linda keeps me grounded and on my toes at all times." Getting up from her chair, Linda extended her hand in greeting. "It's good to finally meet you Mike. Karla has been telling us all about you; it's good to have a face to go along with the stories." Mike was a little overwhelmed by the sheer size of the woman; she was at least six feet tall, but it was her arms and shoulders that impressed him the most, both of which were much bigger than his own. Karla took him by the arm and steered him out the door and into the gym. "Linda is one of our best wrestlers; her videos are best-sellers in that category." "She's one of your wrestlers?" "Sure, all of our employees, office personnel included, are also fighters. All except Ira that is; I've been trying to get him into the ring but so far he's refused. Every time I confront him with it, he gives me the same response: 'You need me both physically and mentally at my best. You wouldn't want me paying a vender more than he's entitled to, or an employee more than they're due. If I get into the ring with one of your Amazons there's no limit as to how badly I could get hurt; maybe permanently mentally impaired.'" "I know he's right; but I'd still like to get my arms around him and just squeeze." "Wait... not box him." "Heavens no! I could kill him if I boxed him. Lately I've been doing a lot more wrestling than boxing, it makes for better videos." By now, they were in the gym and Karla began the tour. "Over here we have several training rings. They are also used for taping purposes. We basically tape all fights, thereby adding to our inventory. By having more than one ring we can tape a fight and still have ring time available for training matches." As they passed the second of the rings, Mike glanced over to what appeared to be a strength training area. Two women were working out. One was on the bench and one was spotting her. Even at this distance he could come to two conclusions; one, that both women were beautiful and extremely well built; two, that they were unbelievably strong. "Come on Debbie, concentrate. Last one; you can do it. Push." The woman on the bench let out a blood-curdling scream as she forced the bar off her chest and, slowly but surely, extended her arms. When she had them fully extended the redhead helped her move the bar back to the rack. "Way to go Deb! 435 pounds; looks like we're tied again." 'Jeez, that's more than twice my best,' Mike thought. Karla had continued walking so Mike had to catch up. As he did, he glanced towards the other side of the gym. There was a group of guys working out at a similarly equipped strength training area. This struck him as a little odd; he certainly would have wanted to work out with the women whenever possible. He was just about to bring it up when Karla seemingly able to read his mind stated, "Those guys over there are who we gals collectively refer to as the "Washington Generals". Mike gave her a puzzled look. "You know the basketball team that always plays the Harlem Globetrotters. They always try hard but they never win. They petitioned me a while ago for their own equipment. They explained that they were only slowing things down because they had to keep removing weight when they tried to work in with the bigger of the women. I think there was more to it than that. I think there are a lot of bruised egos among the male fighters. It's bad enough that they almost always lose in the ring; they don't want to compete against the women in the training areas as well. I can understand that." They were a little more than half way into the gym when Karla pointed to a set of double doors on the left side wall. "Through those double doors are the locker rooms; the women's room is on the left, the guy's room is on the right. In between is the co-ed sunken hot tub. If I do say so myself, it's to die for after a hard fight or workout. The next five doors are the offices of our instructors: boxing, wrestling, martial arts, mixed martial-arts, and our strength instructor and doctor. " As they turned to walk the back wall of the building Mike saw two more doors and asked, "Where do those doors lead?" "In the corner is a storage room and this is a private fight room. It's where we hold our "Light Switch" matches." "Light Switch..." what's that?" "It's a wrestling match between a man and a woman that is held in private; no live audience, only a referee... and the cameras, of course." "I still don't understand." "The best way for you to understand it is to see one. I'll set you up later so you can watch one tonight if you wish." Along the other side of the back wall was an elevated ring with seating for about one hundred people. "This is the main event ring, where we stage the fights we feel will be the best. There are eight remote controlled cameras situated around the ring; our fight director can capture all the action from various angles. Many of the fights are pay-per-view live action; later she pieces together the best of the footage and creates a video for our premium members. After demand for a premium video dies down, it gets posted to the general viewing area. The winner gets ten percent of the gross, the loser five percent, and the referee gets one percent. "Well that's the end of the gym tour and I've got a lot of work to do. I'll introduce you to Truda, our doctor and strength instructor. I suggest that you listen and do everything she suggests. She really knows her stuff, and she expects complete obedience from her trainees. I'll tell you more about her when you get finished with her." They walked back past the offices; Karla opened the door and let Mike enter the room. "Truda, this is Mike Wilson, our new boxing instructor. I want you to give him a complete strength and conditioning program." "Okay, Karla, I understand," she said as she entered the main office through a door at the rear of the room. Mike was suddenly alone with Truda as Karla closed the door behind her. Truda was the biggest woman he had ever seen. She seemed to fill the doorway as she entered. She was a tall blonde; at least 6'5" with impossibly wide shoulders and thick arms. In less than three strides she crossed the room and stood directly in front of him. "Pleased to meet you, Mike." His hand all but disappeared as she closed hers around his and gently squeezed, thus establishing her dominance over him. "Sit; I have to get some information from you." She asked about a dozen questions about his weight, height, smoking, and conditioning. While she was writing down his information, Mike looked up over her shoulder at some large writing that adorned the entire side wall of the office: TRUDA: (GER.) - FIGHTING WOMAN "Tomorrow, we will start your program. I'll quantify your conditioning levels and set up a program for you so that you'll increase your strength and stamina. I'm a hard taskmaster and I expect you to work hard. If you do, you'll last a lot longer around here. I find that the turnover of the guys is a lot lower among those that improve their strength and skills. I want you to follow the diet I give you and each morning I want you to mix a measuring cup of this powder into a liter of water." She handed Mike a large plastic bottle, which Mike accepted reluctantly. "Don't worry, it's not steroids. We don't allow steroids or any other types of drugs here. In fact, as part of the contract you signed, you agreed to submit to random drug tests. The powder was developed by my father, who ships it from his estate in the Amazon rain forest in Brazil. It has been submitted to every drug-testing laboratory used by all the major sporting organizations in the country. It passes all of their standards." Suddenly, she stood and said, "I look forward to working with you." Mike gave her a puzzled look. "I'm a boxer: I look forward to training with you. I hope you can make me a better fighter." Chapter Three: Mike left Truda and returned to the main office. Linda the receptionist handed him an ID on a cloth strap to hang around his neck. "This passkey is used to get into the gym, your office, and most of the areas within the gym. It will also be your house key. Go see Ira, now; Karla will be done in a few minutes." After a few minutes signing forms for Ira, Linda called to Mike, "Mike, she's off the phone now; you can go in." "So are you all set up with Truda? What did you think of her?" "Aside from the fact that she could have been the poster child for the Aryan race?" "You don't know how close to the truth you are. Her grandparents escaped from Germany after the war, settled in Argentina, and then made their way north to Brazil. I've seen pictures of her parents. They are blond, blue eyed, extremely athletic, and look half their age." "Truda gave me a vitamin supplement that her father developed. She told me I should take it daily." "Mike, I would do what she tells you; she really knows her stuff. I'll let you in on a very big secret about the Arena. When I first inherited this land from my grandparents, all that was here was the farmhouse and a large, roofed, open-air riding arena. My grandfather bought this property with the idea of turning what was a riding camp, into a world-class training facility. Unfortunately he never got to see his plans turned into reality. I took his plans and, with the money from my trust fund, completed the basic structure. It was during the construction that we discovered that our only source of water was nearly tapped out. I was told that our only course of action was to drill a new deeper well. We had to drill nearly 1,500 feet before we broke into an aquifer. According to the drillers, the water was the purist that they had ever tested. "I hired a couple of instructors and opened the gym. At first we attracted only a few members. It was apparent that the gym could not compete with those closer to the city. What I needed was something different, something innovative, something no one else was offering. I turned the place into a training camp for women. Members stayed here, and trained here, for as long as they wanted. We had the cabins refurbished. We started seeing an increase in interest in the camp, but were still not making a profit. We had some really good people; Truda, Linda, Debbie, and Min Lee, our martial arts instructor, all came on board. Truda introduced her vitamin supplement and her strength-training program. "After several months we began to see some remarkable results. The women who were staying here began to get physically stronger, more so than those women who only worked-out here and returned home. Later, when we started the Amazon Combat Arena, we noticed that the effects were not as dramatic for the men. Truda and I are not sure what exactly is causing the increase in muscle mass that the women are experiencing. It might be the supplement, or the water, or the camp itself, or some combination of all three." "What do you mean the camp itself?" "About two years ago, we had a woman from Sedona, Arizona come here to train. She told us that she felt the same type of vortex energy here that she felt in Sedona. It seems that the Arena is built over a source of electrical energy. She referred to it as a masculine vortex; they tend to be very energizing and are perfect for increasing ones resolve and stamina. I told her not to mention anything about this vortex to anyone; the last thing I needed was a bunch of New Age Hippies hanging around the area. "That's enough talk for now. Let's get you settled in." They got into Mike's car and drove up to and around to the back of the large farmhouse. Karla guided him to a parking space under a large free-standing shelter. Besides Karla's Hellcat, there was a vintage Corvette Sting Ray, two late model Porches, a Jaguar F-Type convertible, and a Hummer H2. "Are all these yours?" "No silly, just the 'Vette and the Hellcat. The rest belong to the girls. We'll have to do something about your ride; we'll talk about a new company car tomorrow." Mike reached into the back seat and grabbed his two duffle bags and turned to follow Karla into the house. As he turned back to lock his car he noticed the license plates on all of the cars; VLKYRI 1 thru 6. Laughing to himself, he wondered what his plate would be. Obviously, not in the same series as these; maybe BTENMAN if the rest of the women were anything like those he had already seen. Karla led him up to the second floor. There were six bedrooms on the floor. Karla's was at the head of the stairs. She turned to the left, "This is Truda's room; this is Debbie's, she's our wrestling instructor; this is Min's, she's our martial arts specialist; this is Donna's room, she's in charge of our mixed martial arts program, and this is your room. They had just walked a complete circle around the center staircase. As she opened the door of his room she continued, "Each room shares a bathroom with the room next to it; your room shares a bathroom with mine. The bathroom doors are kept open unless the room is occupied. If you see the door closed, please respect your neighbor's privacy. When you leave the bathroom make sure the doors are open. You're the first man to have a room here. I'm sure you're going to see some sights that you wouldn't normally expect to see, so try to keep an open mind. This goes for in the gym as well. We all work hard and play hard, and we employ the spoils system; to the victor goes the spoils." Mike wasn't entirely clear as to what she meant by that last statement, but he was sure it would become clear as time passed. "We eat dinner at six; after dinner we have a staff meeting, and the rest of the night is free. Oh, yeah, we have satellite TV, including access to our own web site library. After you unpack, come downstairs and I'll give you a quick tour of the first floor." ___________________________ The first floor consisted of five rooms: a large living room; a dining room; a library lined with book shelves filled with books; a large game room with several pin ball machines, a pool table and a card table; and finally a large commercial kitchen staffed by three small women. As Karla and Mike were completing their tour, three women entered the living room. "Good, I'm glad you guys are here. It's my pleasure to introduce Mike Wilson; he's our new boxing instructor. Mike this is Debbie, she's our wrestling instructor." "Hi Mike, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we'll get to work with each other; maybe you can show me how to improve my boxing skills." Mike was momentarily at a loss for words. Debbie was stunning; about six feet tall, with broad shoulders and thickly muscled arms. Her shoulder-length dark hair framed her face perfectly, accenting her high cheekbones and dark brown eyes. As he felt the firmness of her grip he was reminded of the strength she possessed as demonstrated by her lift he had witnessed earlier in the gym. "Pleased to meet you, Debbie; I look forward to working with you." "Mike Wilson, this is Min Lee; she's our martial arts instructor." "Hello Mike, welcome aboard." Although not as big as Debbie, Mike could tell that Min was extremely well-conditioned, and someone he would not like to anger. "Hi Mike, I'm Donna; I'm the MMA instructor. I look forward to working with you. I hope you can teach some of my students to become better strikers. After dinner, the six members of the management team sat around the table discussing the events of the day. Taking a sip of his merlot, Mike sat overwhelmed by the presence of the five female warriors, each beautiful in her own way and all physically dominant in their manner. Although they were all friendly towards him, he kept wondering if he could indeed fit in -- and, more importantly, compete -- with this group of Amazons. "Mike, I want you to start working with your group of male boxers tomorrow right after Truda is finished with you," Karla announced after getting his attention. "Fine. I want to assess the skill level of all of the boxers, men and women, in the next couple of weeks. I thought I'd start off by getting in the ring with each for, say, a four-round sparring session. I'd like to film each session so I can study them afterwards." "That sounds good to me. Why don't you start with the guys this week and next week you can work with the gals. I'll set up the ring time, and filming schedules." Mike glanced around the table, more than one of the women had a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye. Truda looked as if she could barely contain herself. 'Why do I feel like I'm about to step into the Roman Coliseum?' thought the self-condemned man. ____________________________ For the next couple of weeks, his days started out with Truda putting him through a series of strength and endurance tests, in order to determine his base-levels, and ways to reach his full potential. While he was on the treadmill one day, he witnessed his first male vs female wrestling match. Karla stood in the center of the ring, mike in hand, and introduced the combatants. "In this corner, standing five feet ten inches and weighing 210 pounds, Rob Hill. His opponent, standing an even six feet tall and weighing 190 pounds, the Amazon Arena's own, Linda Jones. Debbie Romano is your referee. This is a freestyle wrestling match; the best three out of five falls, there is a one hour time limit." Debbie called them to the center of the ring and gave them final instructions. The two wrestlers shook hands and returned to their respective corners. At the sound of the bell they moved towards the center of the ring, slowly circling each other, looking for an opening. Rob made the first move, sinking low attempting to capture Linda's leg. Before he could pull her leg out from under her, Linda grabbed him around his waist and, with a mighty display of strength, pulled him off his feet and threw him across her right shoulder, in an effort to place him in a back breaker hold. To his credit, Rob was able to squirm off the side of her shoulder. Unfortunately, Rob fell nearly six feet down to the canvass, landing squarely on his back. Momentarily stunned, he was unable to avoid Linda's knee-drop to his unprotected stomach, forcing most of the air from his lungs. Looking for a quick pin, Linda grabbed hold of his wrists and quickly positioned herself length-wise over his body. Dropping to her knees, Debbie slapped the canvass twice before Rob managed to lift his right shoulder off the mat. Linda used her body as a battering ram, slamming down three times in rapid succession, driving the air out of his lungs once again. Debbie started her count, reaching two again before Rob was able to lift his shoulder of the mat. From his position on the treadmill it looked to Mike more like two lovers making out than a wrestling match as Linda moved her face directly over Rob's looking directly into his eyes. Rob was so distracted by her overt sexuality and his inability to breath that he failed to notice Linda wrapping her legs over and around his. Only when he felt her feet lock onto his ankles did he fully understand the predicament that he was in. Slowly but steadily Linda began to spread her legs apart until Rob began to feel sharp twinges of pain in his knees and in his groin. With a confident smile Linda straightened her arms, pushing Rob's shoulders to the mat and arched her back forcing his legs even farther apart. Debbie reached a count of two before Rob began to scream out his submission. "I give; I give. Please make her stop!" Immediately, Linda pulled her legs back together releasing the pressure and slowly untangled her legs from his. Debbie raised Linda's hand. "Winner of the first fall, Linda. Wrestlers you have three minutes until the start of the next fall." Linda went back to her corner. There she talked with her corner person, who Mike recognized as the redhead he had observed spotting for Debbie. Both women were broad shouldered and had extremely well-muscled arms and legs. Although Linda appeared to be slightly less powerfully-built than the redhead, Mike had no doubt that she was far stronger than he was. Mike had only been here a little over a week and already he had seen five women who were obviously stronger. Three minutes went by quickly. "Fall number two; wrestle," Debbie exclaimed pointing to each of the wrestlers. Rob approached Linda cautiously. It was obvious that he was going to have to change his tactics if he was going to stand a chance against this woman. Without warning he lashed out with his foot, kicking Linda in the stomach and knocking the air out of her lungs. Grabbing a handful of hair he brought her head down as his knee made contact sending her crashing down hard on her back. It was clear to Mike that Rob had decided that his was going to win this match with brute force and to hell with the rules. Rob pulled the stunned Linda off the canvass and whipped her into the ropes. Linda's body caromed off the ropes back into the center of the ring where Rob greeted her with a knee to her gut. Fighting for breath she put up no resistance as Rob once again grabbed her arm and flung her back in the same direction. As she came off the ropes once again, she appeared defenseless as Rob again sent a knee into her unprotected stomach. Linda stood momentarily in the center of the ring, clutching at her stomach, grasping for air. Rob, sensing victory was within his grasp, pulled her arm away from her stomach and swung her around once again and sent her body with even more force back into the ropes. Mike watched, fascinated as to how this match reminded him of how, when he was a kid watching pro-wrestling and the hero would always repeat the same move twice with much success, but when he would try it a third time the villain would always reverse the momentum of the match with a well-placed foot or forearm. But this wasn't scripted and Linda appeared in real trouble. As she felt herself being launched off the ropes a third time she knew she had to do something to avoid another debilitating knee to her gut. Instead of coming off the ropes straight into the middle of the ring, she planted her foot and pivoted slightly towards Rob, who was poised there waiting to inflict more damage on her already damaged middle. With her next step, she launched her body into the air, sending her shoulder heavily into Rob's unprotected chest and him crashing down to the canvass, his head taking the brunt of the impact with the mat. Linda's body passed over his prone body coming to rest at the edge of the ring. Both wrestlers appeared to be hurt; Rob lay stunned in the center of the ring as Linda slowly clawed her way up the ropes. When she was finally standing, instead of falling on Rob to go for a pin, she staggered to her corner where she leaned heavily against the ropes trying to catch her breath and clear her head. It was clear to Mike that Linda would not be content with a mere pin of the slowly reviving Rob. No, she was going to dish out a little punishment of her own. He watched as she grabbed his arm and hauled Rob to his feet. Spinning him around, she flung him into the ropes and waited as his body came off the ropes. Rushing forward, she caught him high with her forearm, sending his body crashing to the canvass again. Smiling for the cameras, Linda held up two fingers in a V as she pulled Rob up onto his feet and once again flung his body into the ropes, this time face first. As he came off the ropes, this time backwards and back-peddling, she caught him against her chest, closed her arms around his chest, and began to squeeze. Linda's impressive arms bulged as she slowly lifted Rob off the ground forcing all the air out of his lungs and preventing them from expanding thus preventing him from getting air back into his lungs. Mike knew that Rob could not hold out much longer before he lapsed into unconsciousness. Just as Debbie approached the wrestlers to determine if Rob was indeed unconscious, Linda released her hold, but instead of allowing Rob to collapse to the canvass, she placed one hand at the back of his neck and her other in the small of his back and giving a mighty yell pressed his limp body up over her head until her arms locked in place. Mike could see that Rob's eyes were still open but he was just barely conscious as Linda began to parade around the ring proudly showing his seemingly lifeless body as her trophy to all those present, but especially for the cameras. When she completed one circuit of the ring, she turned toward the center of the ring and with a warlike scream, bent her legs and arms and launched his body into the air. It was a testament to her strength that Rob's body appeared to soar nearly two feet above her head before it crashed down to the mat with such force that the entire ring shook with the impact. Linda slowly walked over to his lifeless body, placed her foot squarely on his chest, brought her arms up into a double bicep pose, and smiled for the cameras as Debbie went through the formality of counting him pinned. She stood, lifted Linda's hand in victory and announced, "Winner of the second fall is Linda Jones. There will be a three minute recovery period before fall number three." Rob's corner man came running out of his corner and began a desperate attempt to revive the still unconscious wrestler. Several passes under his nose of an open vial of ammonia shocked his system enough to bring him back to consciousness, but he appeared to be unaware of his surroundings as his corner man dragged him back to his stool. He was still slumped in his corner when Debbie called out a ten second warning. "Fall number three; wrestle." Linda casually strolled across the ring, pushed Rob's corner man away and announced, "I'll take it from here. You'd better get out of the ring or you'll be next. Come on Robbie, time to go to school now." For the next twenty-five minutes Linda gave Rob a hands-on wrestling lesson. First she put him into a side headlock, applying just enough pressure to cause him pain, then a full-nelson, lifting him momentarily off his feet. Linda reversed her position, maintaining control of his arms while she trapped his head between her muscle thighs. At this point Rob had no idea where he was or how to make the pain to stop. If he was more aware he could have just surrendered, but all his instincts told him he had to fight. When she got bored with this hold, Linda released his arms and, grabbing hold of his hips, pulled Rob off his feet, his head still trapped between her thighs. She could have ended the match in a matter of moments if she just dropped to the mat, a modified DDT. Instead she released him, stood him up and lifted his body onto her shoulders into a standing backbreaker. She again paraded around the ring, bouncing Rob against her muscular shoulders. Rob begged to be released, so after completing one circuit of the ring Linda obliged. Unfortunately for Rob, she just let him slide off her back and he again hit the canvass. Once she had him on the mat, Linda put him in another series of debilitating holds. First, a figure-four leg vine, hyperextending his right leg at the knee; then, turning him over onto his stomach and crouching over his back with her hands locked around his chin, she rocked back onto her heels into a Camel Clutch. Rob began to moan as she put more and more pressure on his already aching back. Before he could submit, Linda released the hold causing Rob's head to fall face first to the mat. "Crab Cakes anyone?" Linda called out as she turned and grabbed hold of Rob's legs and shifting her weight backwards, she painfully arched his back once again. Linda bounced up and down a few times causing Rob to scream out in pain. Then, sensing that she'd dished out enough punishment released the hold and strutted around the ring, stopping when she reached Rob's head. Bending over she turned him over on to his back and brought him up into a sitting position. Leaning over she whispered into his ear. "I think you've learned your lesson, don't you agree? I'm going to end this now; when you wake up you'll think you've died and gone to heaven." With that she slipped her arm under his chin and locked in a perfect sleeper hold. Rob brought his hands up in a futile attempt to escape, as Debbie dropped to her knees by his side. She waited until she saw his arms drop to his sides as his eyes rolled back in their sockets. "That's it, Linda, he's out. Release him." Linda released him immediately, but instead of allowing him to fall to the canvass, she pulled his limp body into a standing position and tossed him over her shoulder into a fireman's carry and with a little help from Debbie left the ring. Mike was sure that Linda was taking him to Truda's office, but instead as she passed the door, Mike felt a strong hand grip his shoulder. "I think that's enough for today. You have a match today at 4:00; you don't want to tire yourself out." Truda whispered into his ear as they watched Linda open the door to the storage room and close it behind them." "What's she doing?" "You know we work under the spoils system here. She beat him, rather convincingly I'd say, so she's claiming her prize. Don't worry about him; he'll be fine. I was watching the whole match, he's probably really sore right now, maybe has a slight concussion, but that's about it. By tonight he'll be fine." "If you say so, you're the doctor. By the way, I haven't seen Cathy around today, is she going to make our match today?" "No, Karla told me earlier this morning that she had an emergency at home and won't be in today." "So, do you know who I'm going to fight today?" "Sure; me. See you at 4." Mike was stunned. He had hoped that his first taped fight would be with Cathy. Although in excellent shape, he saw her as far less challenging than many of the other females in his group. Truda was the largest, the strongest and, therefore, the most intimidating of his female fighters, even more intimidating than Karla since he had already fought her twice. He shrugged it off thinking, 'this is why you get the big bucks. I hope the video sells well.' Chapter Four: At five minutes to 4:00 Mike left the locker room, walking slowly to the main ring where his corner man, Jeff was waiting. Jeff was one of the more experienced of the male boxers. "How do you feel, Mike?" "Nervous. It's been a while since I actually fought anyone. Most of my fights in the last couple of years have been sparring sessions. This has the feel of professional bout. Do you have any advice for me?" "Yeah, run." "Funny." "No, seriously, run. She's big and strong, but I'm not sure about her stamina; no one has ever gotten past the second round with her. You can't hope to stand toe to toe with her. Maybe you can tire her out if you're always moving, making her come to you." "Right." He turned to see Truda come out of her office. She proudly walked to the ring as the twenty or so people who had been hanging around stood and cheered. His attention was so fixed on Truda that he failed to notice as Karla entered the ring dressed in a tight fitting referee shirt and a pair of short gym trunks. She walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulders. "Don't try to be a hero out there. If you get hurt, stay down. Don't worry about the video. Truda will carry the video; that's who most of the people are tuning in to see. You just do your best and protect yourself; I don't want to see you get hurt." Turning, she walked back to her corner, where she was handed a mike. From the center of the ring she began to speak. "Ladies and gentleman, can I have your attention please. This fight is scheduled for eight rounds. This is a special bout as both fighters are instructors here at the Amazon Combat Arena. "Introducing for the first time, our new boxing instructor. At 5' 8" and weighing 168 pounds, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, Mike Wilson." There was a fair amount of applause, whistles, and wolf calls as Mike stepped forward and waved his gloved hand at the crowd. "And in this corner, a fighter who really needs no introduction. Standing 6'5" tall and tipping the scales at 235 pounds, I give you our strength instructor and medical supervisor, the German Amazon Warrior, Truda Schmidt." Truda took two steps forward and bowed to each side of the ring and then returned to her corner where she shed her warm up jacket and brought her arms up into a double bicep pose. The muscles of her arms and shoulders grew to massive proportions, as she stared across the ring at Mike. "Don't pay attention to her; she's only trying to scare you." 'She's doing a good job. What the hell was I thinking when I agreed to this?' Mike thought as Karla called the fighters to the center of the ring. "Mike, Truda; I want a nice clean fight. When I tell you to break, you break, stop punching, and take a step back. No holding and hitting. There will be standing eight-counts at my discretion and a fighter can be saved by the bell, except for the final round. Any questions? Let's give them a good fight." Mike only partially heard Karla's instructions; he was preoccupied with the massiveness of his opponent. Truda was even more imposing in the ring than she was in her office that first day. She dressed in white shorts with leather trim and a white halter sports bra. Her short blond hair was tied into small pigtails and her piercing blue eyes seem to bore right through him. She filled Mike with mixed emotions, mainly lust and fear. The fighters touched gloves, and then returned to their respective corners. Mike was still forming his fight strategy when the bell sounded for round one. Both fighters advanced to the center of the ring, and the fight began. 'I've got to stay away from her power,' he thought as he slowly circled her, always moving to his right. 'But at this distance I'll never be able to hit her.' She fought in the classic European style, standing erect with very little movement, her huge arms close to her body with her hands held at shoulder height. Truda was content to shuffle along, biding her time, waiting for Mike to come within her range. Being nearly nine inches taller than her foe, she clearly held the advantage in reach. Suddenly Mike closed the distance between them and fired two quick jabs that landed on her right cheek. Before he could retreat fully out of her range she fired a solid left jab that pushed his glove back into his face. 'My God,' he thought, 'that felt harder than most of the clean shots I've taken during any of my previous fights.' He continued to circle to his right, giving his mind a chance to clear, but before he could launch another attack Truda took two quick steps forward closing the distance between them. Once again her tree-like left jab drove his glove into his face, followed by a straight right that caught him flush on the brow over his left eye. Mike staggered backwards and fell into the ropes. Sensing blood in the water, Truda came in for the kill. But Mike, keeping his wits about him, did the only thing he could, launching himself directly at her and clutching tightly around her body. Karla gave them a few moments to see if Truda could break free, and then yelled for them to break. She had to repeat her command when Mike, still feeling the effects of Truda's punch continued to hold on, buying precious seconds of rest. This brought a warning from Karla. "When I say break, you break; do you understand?" Karla took a quick look into his eyes and yelled, "Fight." 'I've got to get inside and stay there, otherwise she'll tear me apart.' This time as he circled her, he suddenly stopped, reversed his direction and then took three quick steps forward, ducking low below her jab, and stuck his head into her lower chest as he fired left and right hooks into her formidable abs and obliques. Mike felt like a mosquito attacking an elephant; his punches seemed to bounce off her body with no effect. The only thing he knew for sure was that at least he wasn't getting hit with that left jab. It appeared to him that her extreme muscle development was hindering her ability to throw any effective hooks to his head or his body. He could feel her hitting his shoulders and arms but they were far less effective than when she had more punching room and could extend her arms. He had found her Achilles Heel. As the bell sounded ending the first round, both fighters stopped punching and returned to their corners. Mike took a seat on his stool as Jeff applied an ice pack to his face in an effort to bring down the swelling that was beginning to form over his left eye. Truda, refused to sit, calmly leaning back against the ropes, draping her arms along the top rope. Her mind was going a mile a minute quickly analyzing how the fight was going and devising new tactics to combat her opponent's strategy. "You're doing great out there, keep it up." Jeff yelled as Mike stood waiting for the bell. As the bell sounded for round two, both fighters rushed out of their corners. Mike, determined to take advantage of Truda's weakness, immediately moved inside and began where he left off the previous round. Although they weren't doing any serious damage, his punches were beginning to annoy her; especially when he popped up and hit her in the face with a left and a right hook before dropping his attack back to her body. Before Truda could launch a counter-attack, Mike slipped back outside of her reach and began circling to his right once again. He didn't dare become predictable; that would be his downfall. Instead, looking like Joe Frazier, he stopped circling and starting bobbing and weaving as he crouched in front of her, then moving into a peek-a-boo defense, his arms crossed in front of his face, his elbows, arms and shoulders protecting his head. Truda tried to hit the moving target in front of her with lefts and rights but because of the movement and the fact that she was forced to punch downward she was missing badly, expending a lot of energy for very little reward. By the end of the round she was clearly frustrated. As Mike sat on his stool, Jeff massaged both his arms and shoulders trying to stimulate the circulation of blood to his aching limbs. "Mike, that was fantastic. She's totally frustrated. Just keep doing what you're doing and she's yours." Mike wasn't so sure. He was running out of ideas and was worried that he could only get away with what he was doing for only so long. He knew Truda had the power to take him out with either hand with just one punch. He could not make any mistakes out there. The bell for round three sounded and once again Mike started out the round circling to his right, away from her power. For the first minute he stayed away, only occasionally moving close enough to score with a quick jab and then retreat. Truda continued to advance trying to cut off the ring in an attempt to corner the quicker fighter. Trying to keep her off balance, Mike moved back inside burying his head against her chest once again. He was scoring with solid shots to her obliques when he suddenly felt her dip her right shoulder. A moment later he experienced the worst pain he had ever felt in his life as she dug a brutal right uppercut into his unprotected gut. Before he could escape he felt his right arm become trapped between her body and her left arm. Truda, smiling for the camera, hit him with a second right, this time lifting his entire body off the canvass. A third and a forth uppercut followed before Karla realized that Mike was being held. "Break, Truda; let him go. Break." Truda immediately released his arm, allowing Mike to sink to the canvass and roll on his side into a fetal position. Karla got right in Truda's face, issuing her a stern warning for holding and hitting, then turned and helped Mike to his feet. Karla gave him a standing eight count, allowing him time to recover or at least catch his breath. She put her hands on his shoulders and looked deeply into his eyes. "Do you want to quit? Don't be a hero. Are you okay?" Mike's pride would not allow himself to quit. He would go out on his shield before he quit. No, she would have to beat him, he wasn't going to quit. Reluctantly, Karla turned to Truda and yelled, "OK, Fight!" Truda moved in quickly planning to end the fight. Mike, heavily favoring his left side, moved as quickly as possible to his right off the ropes. Just as Truda cornered him, the bell sounded ending round three. Jeff jumped into the ring and guided a wobbly Mike back to his stool. As Mike sagged onto his stool Jeff placed two ice packs on his stomach and ribs. Mike tried to get as much air back into his lungs as possible, but with each breath he experienced a sharp pain in his ribs. He feared that she may have cracked one or more of his ribs on his left side. "I thought you were finished. It's a miracle that you were able to get out of that round." Mike did not reply, instead saving his strength and his breath for what he knew would be the final round. There was no way that he was going to survive this next round. He couldn't stay outside of her reach for long and he sure as hell could not take another pounding like he had just received. When the bell sounded for round four he gamely stood and walked slowly to the center of the ring. Truda, in a sign of respect for a valiant effort, raised her hands to her all but beaten foe. They touched gloves and began a slow shuffle around the ring. Mike had his left arm tucked in tight to his side in an attempt to protect his ribs. He knew it was too dangerous to stay outside, he had no left jab left to set up his right and his only hope was to get back inside and pound away with his right until the end came. He never got that opportunity. As he tried to move inside he was met with a double fisted blow to his chest. It must have looked like a shove but was in fact a legal blow with both hands. He stumbled back into the ropes, which then catapulted him back towards Truda. Mike gazed at Truda as he attempted to put up some sort of defense against what he knew was coming. What he failed to realize until it was too late, was that Truda had shifted her stance to southpaw, with her right leg in front, and that her jab would now be coming from her right hand rather than her left. With his left arm still protecting his ribs he had no defense for the straight right jab that came crashing into his face. His was only able to turn his head slightly, thus saving his nose. The punch landed solidly on his left cheek and everything turned to black. The smell of ammonia brought him back to consciousness. When he could finally focus he saw Karla on his left, the ammonia packet still in her hand, and Truda to his right. Her discarded gloves were supporting his neck and head. "Mike, Mike, can you hear me," Karla shouted at him with a very concerned look on her face. "Yeah, I can hear you, you don't have to shout. You're giving me a head-ache," he said smiling into her captivating green eyes. "Mike, follow my finger," Truda said as she tried to assess the damage that she had inflicted. After a couple of seconds she exclaimed, "Good, it looks like you don't have a concussion, but I have to run a couple more tests to be sure. I'd also like to get a couple of x-rays to check out your face and ribs, just to be sure there aren't any broken bones." To Karla she said, "Help me get him to my office so I can examine him for internal injuries." After getting him to his feet they got him out of the ring, and with each taking a side guided him across the gym, into her office and onto a rolling examination table. "Hold his shoulders in place. Mike, this is going to hurt like hell, but I have to see if there is any damage to your internal organs." Karla held him tightly to the table as Truda pushed and probed his gut. Tears began to run down the side of Mike's face as he endured the pain in silence. When she was finished, she smiled down at him as she exclaimed, "Good, there doesn't appear to be any damage other than some intense bruising. Karla, you can leave us; I just have to get a couple of x-rays, then he should be good to go." "Great fight, Mike! You did really well out there; no one has ever taken Truda to the fourth round before. Truda, can I talk to you a second?" Both women then went out in the hall. When she returned to the exam room, Truda wheeled Mike into the x-ray room. Twenty minutes later, Mike slowly entered the locker room and took a well-deserved shower. Truda was there waiting for him as he exited the locker room. "Mike I want you to eat light tonight; maybe just a cup of soup and a couple of crackers. Here are three Advil tablets. Take these now with a glass of water and go lay down. I'll check on you later tonight." His bed never looked so good when he finally made his way back to his room. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was out like a light. Nearly three hours later he was awakened by two women having a discussion in Karla's room. He guessed it was Karla and Truda. They must have forgotten that the bathroom doors were both open. "I know you won and it's your right to claim the spoils, I just want you to remember that he's mine. I'm not averse to sharing, but don't think that I'm giving up my prior claim. You can administer the sexual healing, just take it easy on him. I want him whole when you tell me he's finally ready for our bout." "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Judging by today's results, I think he'll be ready in two or three more weeks; no more than another month for sure." "Good. I don't think I can wait much longer than that." "Okay. I'm going down to the kitchen and get him a cup of soup. If I were you, I'd plan on spending the next four or five hours down stairs. You know how vocal I can get." When he heard her door close, Mike assumed that Karla had gone down stairs and slowly slid out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom. Closing her bathroom door he stood assessing his body in the full-length mirror. His entire stomach was one large nasty bruise. His face didn't fare much better; his right eye was nearly closed and he had a large bruise over the left eye along the eyebrow. His left cheek was swollen and blood had already begun to accumulate under that eye as well. By tomorrow he would be sporting two Technicolor shiners. He wondered if the company provided sunglasses. Remembering the conversation he had overheard, he questioned out loud: "I wonder what this sexual healing is all about." He was about to find out. Mike heard a knock on his door. Figuring that it would take more energy than he had to get dressed, he made his way to the door and cracked it open. "Mike can I come in please." Truda entered the room carrying two cups of chicken soup. After placing the soup and two spoons on his dresser, she turned around just as Mike shut the door. "Ouch," she exclaimed. "How do you feel? Any dizziness or nausea?" "No, I just feel like I got hit by a Mack truck. I think my scalp and the soles of my feet are the only two places on my body that don't hurt." "I'm sorry I was so rough on you. I was just trying to make a good video... and to impress my new instructor." "I'll reserve my final judgment until I watch the video of the fight. But I think I can safely say that the new instructor is impressed." "Thank you. I can tell you that I was very impressed with your abilities as well. No one has ever pushed me like that before. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm so much bigger and stronger than you, I think you may have beaten me. I don't think I can do anything about you getting any bigger, but I can assure you that I'll be able to make you stronger." "You've already helped me get in the best shape of my life. I've dropped about five pounds of fat and replaced it with ten pounds of muscle." "Good, I'm happy for you. Now, let's eat before it gets cold." When he had finished his soup, Truda took his cup and spoon and placed them back on the dresser. "Now it's time for me to claim my spoils as is the right of the Victor here at the Arena. " She could see the apprehension on his face as she slipped off her robe revealing her magnificent body. Even though she was at least ten years older than him, he couldn't help but be impressed by her degree of muscularity and lack of visible fat. "Don't worry, I'll be gentle. Get those shorts off and lay on the bed. I'll do all the work, you just lay back and enjoy." When Mike dropped his shorts, his cock was already rock hard. Looking down he couldn't believe the size of his erection. When he was still in high school, his girlfriend had measured his erection at just over six inches; now it had to be at least three inches longer and a lot thicker. She looked at the expression on his face and started to smile. "It's a side effect of the supplements we all are taking. The women get rapid increased muscle growth; you guys get increased length, girth and vigor. I guess it's a win-win for us all around. Now get on the bed before I throw you on it." Mike didn't have to be told twice. Before he could get comfortable Truda was already crawling up between his legs. She grabbed his cock and stuffed as much as she could into her mouth. For the next fifteen minutes she worked her mouth over every bit of his nine-inch erection. He was rapidly approaching the point of no return and tried to pull out of her mouth. Truda would not be denied; she simply slid her hands under his butt and worked his cock in and out of her mouth. Mike moaned with pleasure as he erupted into her mouth. "Mmmmm", she cooed, and sat up, towering over him. "That was good; now it's your turn." Continuing her journey up his body, taking care to avoid his sore ribs, she finally stopped when her knees reached the sides of his head and her pussy hung just out of reach of his extended tongue. "Make me cum and drink my nectar." Reaching down she cradled his head and brought it up to her pussy. His tongue worked up and down her lips, occasionally dipping between them and invading her opening and his nose bumped her extended clit. As she inched closer and closer to her orgasm, she began to rub her pussy up and down over his entire face. Soon she could feel the heat rising up through her body as her orgasm began to rock her body. "Open your mouth, stick out your tongue, and get it all," she moaned. Suddenly a stream of clear lube shot out of her and into his mouth. He desperately tried to keep up with the flow, fearing to lose a single drop. When the stream ended he stuck his tongue into her to capture any remaining fluids. 'Hhhhm, that was good; you have a very talented tongue." Climbing off his face she made her way back until she was again straddling his hips. Guiding his still erect cock to her opening, she slowly lowered herself, relishing the feelings as his impressive tool filled her to the max. 'Oh, that's so good. I could get used to this, too bad she's already laid claim to you." Slowly at first, Truda began to raise her butt until she nearly lost her grip on him and then lowered herself again until their pelvic bones met. Again and again she repeated this maneuver as her pussy clung to him like a glove, giving them both a great deal of pleasure. When she felt his hips thrust up off the bed she increased her pace until she was slamming down on this already abused body. The bedsprings began to squeak along with her movements. When she felt that he was close to cumming, Truda clamped down over him and squeezed her internal muscles until he moaned from the pain. "Not yet, my pet. We have all night and I want you around until the end." When she was sure the crisis had passed, she started again, bringing him to the brink again, before suppressing his release. Again and again she brought him to the point of no return until he begged her to let him cum. Her orgasms were coming so close together that they appeared to be one long, never-ending earth-shattering experience. When she felt that he couldn't take any more she sat up straight, expanded her chest, brought her arms up into a double bicep pose, and whispered, "Cum for your Master," as her pussy slowly contracted around him. Mike's orgasm rocked his world. She had kept him on the brink for so long that when he finally came he felt like his body was being turned inside out. His contractions were so intense that his whole upper body pulled up off the mattress again and again until he had nothing left to give her and collapsed unconscious back onto the bed. Mike's eyes began to flutter as he slowly regained consciousness. Truda was standing over him, washcloth in hand, sensually cleaning him. "It looks like we're almost done here. Once more I think should do it," she said. She climbed back onto the bed until she was kneeling next to him. Before Mike could respond she spun around, throwing one of her massive legs over his body, and ending up facing his feet. His world shrunk until it consisted of only her magnificent back. He felt his cock lengthening in her hand, her erect nipples, hard abs, and wet pussy being slowly dragged along his body. Her legs, first one and then the other, moved over his shoulders coming to rest on either side of his head and then the exquisite feeling of his now fully erect cock being engulfed by her mouth. He knew what she wanted. Throwing his arms around her hips he lifted his head until he could reach her pussy and began to lick and probe. He knew he was pleasing her when she started gyrating on his face, offering him her extended clit. He could feel the vibrations of her moans of pleasure as her skilled tongue swirled around his sensitive head. All too soon, he was reaching his climax. He felt her legs slip behind his head, firmly forcing his face into her as she positioned her opening directly over his mouth. Their climaxes hit simultaneously, sending a torrent of bodily fluids into their partner's mouth. Mike felt her body relax over him, her full body weight pushing him down onto the mattress. Just before he began to panic due to lack of air, Truda released him from her hold and rolled over onto her side. "You were very good, Liebling. We'll have to do this again soon." Getting off the bed, she took his hand and practically dragged him to the bathroom. "Come, I want to show you something." As she turned on the light Truda guided him in front of the mirror. "How is that possible?" Mike exclaimed as he stared at his reflection. There was not a hint of the damage he had endured during their fight. The swelling was gone from his face, his black eyes were gone as well and there was no trace of the body bruises she had inflicted on him. "We call it sexual healing. We don't know how it works, but we believe it comes from the exchange of bodily fluids. It's how we can keep the guys around as long as we do. Could you imagine them staying around if they had to endure weeks of pain after each fight they had?" Chapter Five: Mike woke up late the next morning, but he felt great. He dressed quickly and hurried downstairs. As he entered the dining room, he bumped into Karla who was just finishing her breakfast. Karla gave him a stern look. "I expect my boxing instructor to give a better account of himself than I saw yesterday." Mike was taken aback for a moment and immediately went on the defensive. "With all due respect, Boss, what did you think would happen when you match a heavyweight with recent experience against an amateur middleweight who hasn't fought anyone in over two years?" He replied with more than a hint of anger in his voice. Turning towards him she suddenly broke out in a huge smile and laughingly said, "Gotcha. All kidding aside, Mike, you really did great out there. I know firsthand the power that she has. I've ended up on my back on more occasions than I care to admit to while sparring with her." "You two have fought before?" "Of course. When I first started this company, we had very few male fighters to challenge us, so Truda and I fought all the time. It was how we built up our inventory of fight videos. "By the way, I thought you'd like to know, I saw the preliminary figures on the gate for your fight with Truda. It looks like we had about half a million pay-per-view viewers at $ 9.95 per head. That puts your take at a little less than half a million dollars. Not bad for an afternoon's work." Mike was stunned. He hadn't made more than $10,000 in any year since he had graduated high school. Now she was telling him that in addition to his salary he'd be making at least half a million dollars more -- and that was just from one fight. "Mike, for your next fight I'm going to challenge your reasoning as to why you lost yesterday. Your next fight will be with Cathy. Against her you'll have the overwhelming advantage in height, weight and strength. We'll see how you do." ____________________________________ Later that evening, Mike learned that his fight would take place at the end of the week. That gave him five days to prepare, as well as fulfill his duties as boxing instructor, and continue his strength training with Truda. The days flew by, and before he knew it, it was Friday afternoon. There was a good-sized crowd in the gym gathered around the main event ring as he approached. His opponent was already in the ring, dancing from side to side, as she shadow-boxed an unseen opponent. Mike entered the ring to a series of boos and cat calls from the majority of fans present. As he stood in his corner he assessed his situation. If he had really thought about it he would not have accepted this fight. He was in a no-win situation. He was at least a half a foot taller than Cathy, weighed at least fifty pounds more than her and more importantly, to everyone watching, he would be looked upon as a big bully beating on a much smaller defenseless woman. If he somehow lost to this woman he doubted that any of his trainees would ever again take him seriously. As he watched her, he couldn't help thinking that she was really cute. She had short brown hair, a cute face, and an athletic build. Her arms and legs were sleek and trim. She wore a short-sleeved cut off tee shirt that clung to her body, displaying her tiny waist and washboard abs. Her breasts appeared to be like the rest of body: perky. She was the type of girl that you would have no hesitation in bringing home for Sunday dinner to meet your parents. Karla, who once again would be acting as referee and MC, called for quiet. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event, scheduled for eight rounds. "In the blue corner, standing five foot eight inches tall and weighing in at 170 pounds, with a record of 0-1, Mike Wilson. "And in the red corner, standing five foot three inches tall and weighing in at one hundred ten pounds, with a record of 6-0, always a fan favorite, Cathy Collins." Karla called the fighters to the center of the ring. "You both know the rules; I want a nice clean fight. Listen to my commands and may the better fighter win. Shake hands and come out fighting." The fighters touched gloves, hers red and his blue, and retreated to their respective corners. Jeff once again was Mike's corner man. "This fight should be a cake walk compared to your last fight. Just go out there and knock her out so we can go home early tonight." Mike wasn't so sure; he had a feeling that he was being set up once again. The bell sounded for round one. Both fighters approached the center of the ring cautiously. Mike flicked out a light jab, just to establish his range to his target. Before he knew what hit him, he saw a streak of red and felt the effects of a solid right hook connecting with his jaw. It was nothing that he couldn't handle; he was just shocked at her quickness. He turned left expecting to retaliate but his quarry was no longer there. A moment later he felt a sharp pain in his right oblique as she sunk a left hook into his side. Before he could respond she was out of range, on her toes dancing and feigning in and out trying to lure him into another mistake. A moment later she was all over him, throwing lightning quick jabs and numerous combinations. In response he followed suit. They were standing toe to toe, over two solid minutes of nonstop action. Mike was constantly being hit in the face and body with shots that were more annoying than they were damaging, while his punches either bounced of her gloves or arms or worse still, nothing at all. When the bell sounded marking the end of round one, both fighters turned and walked back to their corners. Cathy stood in her corner bouncing from one foot to the other as her corner woman shouted out encouragement. Mike, on the other hand, sat on his stool taking deep breaths trying to re-oxygenate his overworked lungs. "That was the greatest first round that I have ever seen. Keep it up." Only Mike knew better; he had not landed a single punch and, although he had not been hurt by any of her punches, he doubted that he could keep up this pace for the entire fight. As the bell sound for round two, Cathy came charging out of her corner and picked up where she had left off. Mike, trying to change tactics, absorbed her onslaught as he forced her into a neutral corner. Yet even as he was wailing away with left and right hooks to her body and head, she manage to block his best punches and make him miss badly with others. It was Mike who had to retreat to the center of the ring; not that he was being hurt, but because he was already experiencing arm fatigue. By the end of the round it was Mike who had his back to the ropes as Cathy threw combinations to his head and his body. It was almost comical, when Mike brought up his gloves to protect his head; she dropped down to his body with hooks landing from both sides. When he dropped his arms to protect his body she peppered his face with lightning quick jabs and combinations off the jab. By the end of the round he was never so happy to hear the bell. As he slumped down on to his stool, Jeff, getting somewhat impatient for his fighter to do something positive yelled right in his face. "The least you could do is try to hit her at least once." "What the hell do you think I've been trying to do? I've never fought anybody this fast before." Rounds three and four were no better for Mike. By the end of the fourth round, her punches that had only stung a little at the beginning of the fight, were now causing him serious pain. What was worse, now Cathy was constantly smiling at him. It looked as if she was actually having a good time, that this was all just a game to her. In the fifth round he finally began to land some punches of his own. The reason was that she was no longer up on her toes, she was standing flat footed trading him three for one, no longer concerned over being hit. As the round ended, Mike wearily headed back to his corner. Suddenly Karla shouted out to Cathy, "I've got a thousand dollars that says Mike will make it through the next round." Mike turned and glared at Karla; she had just painted a bullseye on his forehead, and he was not happy about it. The bell sounded for round six. Mike dug deep inside for the energy and the will to fight on, knowing that Cathy was going to make every effort to end it in the sixth. The smile was gone from her face as Cathy stormed out of her corner. Both fighters stood in the center of the ring slugging it out. If it was based upon heart alone, Mike would have been declared the winner. He gave it everything he had left in him for nearly three minutes, but by the end of the round he was backed up into his corner as Cathy desperately tried to put him down for the count. Karla was just about to step between the fighters to end the slaughter when the bell sounded. "You just cost me a thousand dollars! Now I'm going to take it out of your hide." Cathy yelled as she retreated to her corner. Karla looked over Jeff's back as he applied ice packs to both sides of Mike's face with a third ice pack in the waist band of his trunks. "Mike, that's it; I'm going to call it." Karla shouted with a concerned look on her face. "There's no way you're going to win this." "Don't you dare stop this fight. I'm a fighter. If I lose, I lose standing in the ring; not sitting on my ass in my corner." Karla couldn't believe he had that kind of passion, that strength of character. She smiled as she headed back to her neutral corner. Mike was already on his feet as the bell rang for round seven. Cathy charged out of her corner. Mike was expecting her to stand toe to toe with him once again. Instead, she reverted back to dancing around him taunting him, content to hit him continuously throughout the first minute of the round. By now Mike's arms felt like lead. He couldn't raise them to protect his face. Sensing that the time was right, Cathy launched a series of lethal combinations which finally ended the fight. She had just enough time to avoid Mike's body as he sunk to his knees and pitched forward hitting the canvass face first. "Come on, get up you wimp. I haven't gotten my thousand dollars' worth yet." "That's enough Cathy; you'll get your thousand dollars. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that." Realizing that she was acting like a bully, Cathy stopped, knelt down by Mike's head, and tried to apologize. But Mike was still out, so she apologized to Karla and skipped out of the ring and into the locker room. Meanwhile Truda, as ring doctor, turned Mike onto his back and removed his mouthpiece. "She really did a number on his face; but as far as I can tell it looks like most of the damage is superficial, just a lot of cuts and bruises. I think he passed out more from sheer exhaustion rather than from any physical damage. Let's get him back to the office; I'll stitch him up and check him for a possible concussion. He'll be fine by tomorrow, especially if he gets a little TLC ... if you know what I mean." "Not from you. You're one up on me already. Maybe one of the other ladies will volunteer her services." ____________________________________ Mike left Truda's office under his own power after an hour of smelling salts, ice packs and simple neurological tests. And also with six stitches to close the cut over his left eye. "It will leave a little scar; but it will add to your rugged good looks." As he entered the entrance to the locker rooms, Mike was confronted with not one but two muscular, bikini-clad beauties: Debbie the wrestling instructor, and her best friend Beth, who Mike recognized as the red-head who had been spotting for Debbie that first day Mike had been to the Arena. "Cathy sends her regrets that she couldn't be here in person, but she asked us to minister to you." With that being said, they each placed a hand under an arm and carried him back out the way he came walking past Truda's office until they came to the storeroom door. When they entered the room, Debbie closed the door and turned the dead bolt as Beth flipped on the light. The room was filled with spare parts for the rings, extra equipment, and a pile of spare mats, some of which appeared to be stained with blood. Mike stood with his back to the stack of mats as Debbie pulled the string of Beth's top allowing it fall forward off her chest baring the most perfect set of tits that he had ever seen. "Like'em," Beth asked, "they're the best that money can buy." Of course Mike liked them; they were perfectly round half globes that sat high on her massive chest topped with dark nipples that stuck out half an inch, just begging to be sucked. Debbie pulled the other string and the top fell to the floor. Now it was Beth's turn to pull some strings. They must have gone to the same doctor because Debbie's tits looked equally good and inviting. They each pulled a third string, which allowed the bottoms that they were wearing a second before to drop to the floor. Both were clean-shaven, making it impossible for Mike to determine whether their hair was natural or dyed. All he knew was that they were both exquisite. "Well what are you waiting for? Strip!" They commanded in unison. For the next three hours Mike was ... muscle fucked. There was no other way to put it. These two amazon beauties simply used and abused his body in astounding ways. They tossed him around like he weighed nothing. When one wasn't riding his cock, she was riding his face. He couldn't tell you how many times he had cummed or how many times he had nearly drowned trying to keep up with the nearly constant stream of fluids coming from the woman sitting on his face. When the ladies were finally sated, they each gave him a kiss on the forehead, and then left his exhausted body, shut the light and locked the door. ____________________________________ Later that evening, as the ladies gathered around the dining room table in anticipation of their daily recap meeting, Karla noticed that Mike was not in attendance. "Where's Mike?" she asked to no one in particular. Truda answered, "I checked his room before I came down just to make sure he was feeling okay; he wasn't in his room and it looked like his bed had not been slept in." "Has anybody seen him since the fight?" "He left my office after I cleaned him up. He was fine by then; said he was going to take a shower and then pass out on his bed until dinner." Min Lee and Donna both said they hadn't seen him. Only Debbie remained silent. Sheepishly she responded, "I think I know where he is. After her fight, I met Cathy in the locker room. She asked me to take care of Mike for her, so I met Beth and asked her to help me. We thought it would be fun to double-team him. Well, we ambushed him as he entered the locker room area and brought him to Shangri-La, you know, the storage closet. We worked him over pretty good. When we left him he was sleeping like a baby. I shut the light and locked the door, figuring that he'd just sleep through the night." Karla was fuming, but she kept her calm and looking up at the clock and sighed. "Well, it's nearly nine o'clock; the maintenance people are already hard at work. You know my agreement with the Menendez sisters: the gym closes promptly at eight and they are not to be disturbed for any reason between eight and six the following morning. I suppose he'll be alright if, as you said, you locked the door and shut the light. We'll probably have to wake him tomorrow morning for breakfast." ___________________________________ Sometime around two in the morning Mike's eyes popped open. He had no clue where he was; the room was pitch black. Finally he noticed a sliver of light under what he assumed was a door. Then he remembered what had happened to him and where he was. Marveling at how good his body felt, even after his brutal sexual healing at the hands of Debbie and Beth, he stood, found the light switch and then his clothes, got dressed and left the room. The gym appeared to be deserted; only the lights over the entrance were still on. He heard laughter coming from the general area of the locker rooms and thought he could hear the low hum of the washing machine. 'It must be the cleaning crew,' he thought as he approached one of the practice rings on his way towards the front door. Suddenly he felt the impact of someone jumping on his back. Strong arms wrapped themselves under his chin, around his neck and over his head. He could feel the legs of his attacker tighten around his middle. Within moments his eyesight began to blur as he desperately tried to free himself. Mike fell to his knees and then everything faded to black. When he awoke again, he found himself flat on his back in the center of the ring. His arms and legs had been secured by ropes, one limb to each of the ring posts; and he was naked. Standing off to one side he could see three figures. When they realized that he was awake they approached him. They were females, very pretty, dressed in work uniforms obviously part of the night crew. "Please let me up, I work here." The ladies began conversing in Spanish. Mike, having grown up in Southern California had picked up a little knowledge of Spanish, but not enough to communicate with them. What he did understand didn't please him. "Since I caught him I'll go first, you two finish your work and then it will be your turn. Go!" He watched as the two left the ring; now it was only himself and the remaining woman, who calmly began to undress. When she was naked she stood over him. Mike began to yell for help, so she picked up one of his socks and sat on his chest. He clamped his mouth shut, turning his head from side to side in a valiant attempt at preventing her from silencing him. In the end she moved up his body until she had him in a school-girl pin, clamped her knees to the sides of his head and pinched his nose and covered his mouth with the sock. Mike had no other choice than to open his mouth gulping for air. The next moment the sock was shoved into his mouth. "If you're a good gringo, and promise not to yell, I'll remove the sock," she said in perfect English, "but not until I've had a little fun first. You've been told that the gym closes at eight. You broke one of Miss Karla's rules and now you must be punished." She stood, and moved backwards until she was standing between his legs. At first Mike feared that she was going to kick him in the balls and began to fight desperately against his bonds. When he felt her foot gently begin to rub up and down along his lengthening cock he calmed down. Mike studied his captor; she was smaller than he first thought. She had to be less than five feet tall and probably weighed under a hundred pounds. Yet she seemed to be solidly built. Her arms were thick, and he knew from experience that they were very strong. He assumed they were a product of hard work as much as from working out. She had a set of washboard abs and her legs were rock solid. All in all, a very desirable package under different circumstances. "I see you like my body. Wait until you meet my sisters." Then, noting the size of his erection, she exclaimed, "My you're a big one. I think you're going to have to get me really wet before I can handle something that big." Abandoning the object of her desire for the time being, she walked back up his body until her feet straddled his chest. Dropping down to her knees, she assumed the schoolgirl pin position from before. This time, however, she began to rub her pussy over his face starting from his chin and moving up until she captured his nose between her lips. Once again Mike began to panic; she stopped, knowing that he couldn't breathe. After a minute she would slide back to her starting point, pause to let him get a quick breath, and then repeat the process once again. After numerous repetitions, she looked into his eyes and seeing what she wanted to see, sat back onto his chest. "Are you going to be good?" Mike nodded his head emphatically indicating that he would. So she carefully reached into his mouth and pulled out the damp smelly sock. "Thank you," Mike whispered. "You can thank me by getting that tongue of yours working; I need to cum." She moved back over his mouth. Mike attacked her pussy with a sense of urgency. He sensed that his captors would treat him a lot better if he pleased them, and that was what he planned to do. The more he worked his tongue, the more she gyrated over his face. Just when his mouth began to ache, she grabbed hold of his hair with both hands and cried out as a torrent of fluid poured from her covering his face. When she finally recovered, she released his head, which landed on the mat with a thud. "Oh Gringo, where have you been all my life?" she said with a low laugh. "I hope you're as good with your cock as you are with your tongue." "Release me and I'll show you just how good I can be." "Sorry, no can do. You might run away before my sisters get back and I'll never hear the end of it." Moving backwards until she could grab him with her hand, she placed his cock at her entrance and, slowly and carefully, took him in, an inch or two at a time, until she had him all. "Oh, my God! I feel it all the way into my stomach," she gasped. "I've never had one so big before." She began bouncing up and down, slowly at first, but as she became more excited she began to piston her body harder and harder slamming into his body as if she were trying to drive him through the mat. Her pussy was so tight that Mike feared she would tear his cock from his body. As her orgasm rushed through her body, she let out a blood-curdling scream and collapsed onto his chest. Mike could still feel the tremors all long his cock as her internal muscles clenched rhythmically around him. He had never felt anything like it; before he knew what was happening, his own orgasm hit sending spurt after spurt of jism into her comatose body. When she regained consciousness, she moved up his body until she was looking into his eyes. "That was wonderful. It's been quite a while since we've had one of you guys in here at night; I guess you're new around here." Before he had a chance to reply she continued. "You're not finished yet; you still have to clean me." Not giving him a chance to react, she scurried up his chest until she placed had her dripping pussy directly over his face. With her knees locked alongside his head, he looked up helplessly as their combined fluids dripped out of her landing on his face. "Stick your tongue in there and get it all; clean me good." She ordered as she dropped down once again. She stayed over him, enjoying the sensation of his gloriously long tongue as it working in and around her opening until she heard the voices of her sisters. "Come on, Consuela; that's enough, it's our turn now." Reluctantly, Consuela rolled off of his body on to her back, saying, "I'm not sure I can walk right now. I'll just rest over here, while you guys have your fun." Mike looked up just in time to see her sisters walk out of the shadows and stand on either side of his head. Looking at one and then the other he decided that he couldn't tell them apart. They laughed as they responded to his unasked question, "Yes, that's right we're identical twins; I'm Maria; and I'm Anita; and you haven't experienced it all until you've gotten it from a set of identical twins." For nearly an hour they used his body for their pleasure. Not that he was complaining, it was just that his pleasure was merely a bi-product of their insatiable lust. It seemed like he was in a never-ending cycle. First one of them would ride his cock and the other would ride his face. When each had an orgasm, one would yell switch, and they would start again. He came at least three more times until -- was it Maria, or Anita -- proudly proclaimed, "He's done; we've fucked him dry. Let's wake Consuela; it's nearly five thirty, and we have to get out of here before they open the gym at six." "What should we do with him?" "Just leave him; they'll release him when they find him." As Consuela got to her feet, she walked over to Mike, dropped to one knee, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear, even though she knew he was sleeping. "You were very good, Gringo; why don't you come by and visit us again real soon. The four of us can have a real good time together. I'll send Karla an e-mail telling her where to find you." ______________________________________ Karla couldn't help but laugh as she read the e-mail from Consuela. Ms. Karla, We caught a prowler last night in the gym. We took extra good care of him. You'll find him tied up in ring number 2. I hope my sisters and I weren't too rough on him. He seemed to enjoy himself; I know we did. Sorry about leaving him such a mess, but we didn't have time to clean him up. Thank You, Consuela, Maria, and Anita Menendez 'I'd better get down there before Linda gets in or I'll have a full-fledged orgy on my hands. I hope the new security cameras that Cathy installed were triggered by the movement in there. I'd love to have that on video.' She hurried down to the gym and proceeded directly to ring number 2. There was Mike, naked, spread eagle, tied to the ring posts completely helpless. She could tell he was still alive by the light snoring coming from his prone body. She climbed into the ring and stood over him. 'It really is a shame to have to wake him; I could do so much with that body of his; but I just don't have the time right now. Maybe we'll revisit this situation again sometime in the future." Kneeling by his head, she gently tapped his cheek, while calling his name. "Mike, Mike, time to get up." His face glistened and his body reeked of sex. 'Oh please, if there is a God, we'll have this on video.' Mike's eyes slowly opened. Once again it took a couple of minutes before he realized where he was and what had happened to him. "Karla, it wasn't my fault, honest," he croaked out. "It all started after the fight...." "Don't worry I know the whole story," she said as she untied his arms. "I'm not mad at you, in fact I find it sort of enlightening." Mike didn't quite understand what she meant until he followed her gaze down his body realizing that he was still naked and totally exposed. "I'll let you finish up here. Afterwards, grab a shower and join us for breakfast," Karla said as she left the ring and headed back towards the exit. After a long hot shower, Mike finally made it back to his locker, which had been his original destination nearly fifteen hours earlier after his fight with Cathy. He dressed and made his way up to the house. When he entered the dining room he received a standing ovation. The whole management team was there, in addition to Cathy, who sat at the end of the table with her laptop on the table in front of her. As he took a chair and looked around the room, he sensed that something was up. Min, Donna and even Cathy were looking at him as if he were a piece of center-cut fillet mignon. With a nod from Karla, Cathy turned the lap-top around so he could watch. To his horror, there he was spread eagle in the center of the ring, two females riding him hard and a third lying motionless on her back off to the side. The video was a little grainy, but there was little doubt as to the identity of the participants. Mike fell into his seat, turned scarlet, and brought his hands to his face as the room filled with laughter and cat calls at his expense. "Mike, don't take it so hard. Cathy assures me that she can clean up the video; we'll be able to put it into our library in a couple of days." Debbie reached across the table and, pulling his hands away from his face, offered him a very sincere apology. "On behalf of myself, and I'm sure Beth as well, I'm so sorry that we left you like that. Had we known that something like this was going to happen we'd have never left you in that room. Please forgive us." Mike looked into her hypnotic brown eyes; he couldn't be mad at her. "You're forgiven; you couldn't have known." Looking over at Karla, Mike began, "Is there any chance that...." Karla shook her head, "None at all." "I didn't think so but it couldn't hurt to ask." "I'll tell you what I will do, however; since you're the only one in the video, I'll double your commission rate.' "What about the sisters?" "They'll each get the referee's share. I can't pay them too much or I'll have to hire a new maintenance company. "While I've got you all here, I just want to remind you that Anastasia will be here today for her 4 o'clock match." A collective groan filled the room as all the women voiced their displeasure. "I want you all to be civil to her. It's in all of our best interests to keep her happy. The company makes a lot of money from her videos which allows me to provide you people with a great benefit package and a lot of hidden perks." After breakfast, everyone left the table headed for the gym. Just before Mike left the room, Karla called out to him, "Not you Mike; get yourself up to bed and get a couple of hours sleep. You've got the day off today. Set your alarm; I'd like you to come to my office at 3 o'clock; I'd like to introduce you to Anastasia." "Okay, Boss. Thanks." Chapter Six: Mike's alarm went off at 2 p.m. With a moan, he got out of bed and made his way into the bathroom. After splashing some cold water on his face he finally felt wide awake. Remembering that Karla was going to introduce him to the mysterious Anastasia, he took a little more care in how he dressed for the day. Wearing a freshly cleaned and pressed pair of Khakis and a matching golf shirt, which showed off his now, thanks to Truda, extremely buff body, he walked confidently over to the gym. He entered the offices, gave his best smile and afternoon greetings to Linda and Cathy and a nod to Ira. "Is she available, she wanted to see me at three?" "Go right in Mike, she's expecting you." With a quiet knock on the door, Mike opened it and stuck his head in. "Hi Boss, You wanted to see me." "Come on in Mike; I want to go over a few things with you before she gets here." Mike took a seat in the furthest of the two guest chairs as Karla began to speak. "First of all I just wanted to add my apology for what happened last night. I should have known something was up when Truda told me you hadn't returned to your room after the fight with Cathy. I could have gone over there and gotten you out before anything happened to you. If you want, I'll keep the video off the website. But let me tell you, if Cathy can clean it up, I'm sure it's going to be one of our best sellers for a long time to come. As far as the fight yesterday, you did a great job." "Come on Karla, she beat me like a drum. And look at her; she's sixty pounds lighter than me and half a foot shorter. I should have been able to win that fight easily." "Don't be too hard on yourself. I got you two together on purpose, because after your fight with Truda I wanted to prove a point. It's not about how much bigger you are or how much stronger you are than your opponent that really matters; it's about how much skill you have and how much heart you show that's important. Sure, in both cases I took it to the extreme; in the real world you would never be matched up against either of them. Truda is a freak of nature; she's just too big and strong to go up against anyone other than another heavyweight." "What about Cathy, according to that logic she had no business being in the same ring with me and yet you saw the results." "Pound for pound, Cathy is the best pure boxer that I have ever seen. Her reaction time is so fast that she appears to know what her opponent is going to do before he does it. I can't get her to take boxing seriously. For her it's only a game. She just loves it. If I could just get her to train seriously, to have Truda work with her to develop her upper body strength there's no telling how far she could go. When I try to talk with her, all she tells me is that her husband wouldn't approve of her fighting for real, so she doesn't tell him. Instead she tells him that she's teaching aerobic boxing to some of the office staff. She loves him so much that she's afraid that if he ever found out the truth that he would leave her." "That doesn't make any sense. What about the videos? Sooner or later her husband is going to see one of those." "Not really; we have an arrangement with her. We edit the video so that for the most part the viewer is seeing it through her eyes. When her face does come up on the screen it's shielded from view." Mike nodded that he understood. "So you see losing to her is nothing to be ashamed of. I tossed in that extra incentive because I knew it would make for a better video. Also, tomorrow is her husband's birthday and I figured she'd want to use the money to make his day extra special. Just to let you know, because she loves her husband so much, she does not claim any of her opponents under our spoils system; she always asks one of the other ladies to take her place." Just then her phone rang. When she hung up, Karla smiled. "Anastasia is here." Moments later the door opened and she entered the room. In a business-like manner, she said "You wanted to see me, Karla." "I want to introduce you to our new boxing instructor, Mike Wilson" Mike was already on his feet, trying hard not to stare. Crossing the room was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her features were perfect. She had long, nearly jet-black hair that framed her oval face, offsetting her flawless light-colored skin. Her eyes were dark, almost almond shaped, and her lips were full and inviting, but it was her height and her manner of dress that immediately caught his attention. She had to bend slightly in order to clear the door-frame as she entered the room; meaning that she had to be at least six feet eight inches tall. Mike's eyes glanced down at her feet, noting that at least four inches of that height came from her stiletto-heeled open-toe shoes. Clad in a little black dress with spaghetti straps, she looked like she was dressed for a night on the town rather than a trip to the gym. Mike immediately pegged Anastasia as a sexual predator; every fiber of her being screamed "Worship me!" 'No wonder none of the women like her,' Mike thought as she extended her hand in greeting. "My name is Anastasia; I'm very pleased to meet you, Mikhail," she said with a very noticeable Russian accent. Mike was momentarily mesmerized by the sultriness of her voice. When he finally found his voice all he could say was "Hello." Anastasia moved closer to Mike, closer than he felt comfortable with. "So you are a boxer. I don't do boxing; it is too violent for me. I much prefer wrestling; it's so much more intimate. Do you know what I mean?" All Mike could do was nod his head. He felt intimidated by this woman. Standing this close to him, he was overwhelmed by her size. Not just her height, but the width of her shoulders and the length and thickness of her arms; not to mention her sheer sexuality. As she talked to him he felt her hand caressing his chest. "Do you wrestle, Mikhail? I would love to set up a match with you sometime." Mike nearly missed the almost imperceptible shaking of Karla's head. "No, wrestling is not my thing. Sorry." "That's a pity," she said as she took a step backwards and turned back towards Karla abruptly dismissing him. "Is my opponent here yet?" "Yes, I understand he got here about an hour ago. He's probably in the locker room getting ready, which is probably what you should be doing as well." Glancing at her gold watch she replied, "You're right of course. I'll see you in the room at 4." Without even acknowledging his presence she turned and headed for the door. Mike took note of her incredibly long and sculpted legs, and the sensual swing of her firm-looking ass as she exited the room. "Okay Tiger, you can stop drooling now," Karla said with more than a hint of annoyance in her voice. Without hesitation Mike replied, "No thanks; not my type. She thinks entirely too highly of herself and would definitely be way too high-maintenance for me. I won't be anybody's lap dog." "Well, I can assure you that you're not her type, either. She's not into men at all as far as I can tell. However, before you judge her too harshly let me give you a little bit of her background. "Anastasia grew up on a small ranch in Siberia, near the Mongolian border. She lived there with her father and two older brothers. At some time in her early childhood, her mother vanished from her life. She was never told the reason why. "Up until the age of twelve, she took care of the domestic duties of the household; cooking, cleaning and doing the men's laundry. From that age forward she experienced an unusually long period of rapid growth. By the age of fourteen she was over six feet tall. Her father made her work in the fields alongside her brothers in addition to her household duties. It was soon after that that the sexual abuse began. Soon her father, and then her brothers all were taking regular turns with her. For two years she accepted their abuse... until the beatings began. "One night, after the three of them had consumed a bottle of vodka; her father came to her bed with the intention of taking his sexual pleasure with her. He apparently was unaware of how strong she had become from her field work. According to Anastasia, she killed him with her bare hands. Then she calmly walked to each of her brothers' rooms and killed them as well. In the morning she packed a bag and began the long dangerous trek eastward to the port city of Vladivostok. "Because of her natural beauty, she had little trouble exchanging sex for passage to the United States on board a cargo ship heading to Long Beach, California. She was smuggled into the country, and at the age of sixteen once again used her body -- to get herself a new ID and make a living. "About two years ago, she came to me and presented her idea for a new form of video entertainment. She called it "Light Switch Matches." I was intrigued by the idea and struck a deal with her. We would split the net proceeds of any video revenue equally, in exchange for exclusive rights of her services. It's been a very lucrative arrangement for both of us. "So, don't judge her too harshly; she's had a rough life." After several moments of contemplation, Mike responded. "Okay, I understand that she's had a rough life and I'll cut her some slack. But that doesn't give her a license to be such a stuck up bitch. I have one question; what's a Light Switch Match?" Karla replied at length. "A light switch match is between a man and a woman and can best be described as a form of sexual combat. Since Anastasia created the rules, they are written from the female point of view. The object for the female is to turn the man on sexually, giving him an erection, and then, by any means available to her, making him loose it; thus the name "Light Switch". She must do this ten times in the course of the match, which has a one hour time limit. Since this is a wrestling match, she accomplishes this feat by placing him in various holds. There is a limit of how many light switches she can accomplish in any one type of hold. This makes for a better video. Anastasia is very skilled at getting guys hard, so we've had no problem in that area. The referee is the judge as to when her opponent is hard and when she has made him soft. By the way, she will only allow me to be the referee. Both combatants wear a suit made of an extremely lightweight stretchy material that clings like a layer of skin, revealing every contour underneath. The male's is made like the swimsuit that a male stripper wears where he's not allowed to show his genitalia. It has a pocket in the front for his penis, which makes it almost impossible to miss an erection. "From the man's point of view it's almost like a regular wrestling match. His goal is to either pin her shoulders to the mat for a count of three, make her surrender, or knock her out with a sleeper hold or something similar. His motivation for entering into this type of match is money. If he wins the match, or she fails to reach ten light-switches within the time limit, he gets ten thousand dollars. "There is one other rule; if the male ejaculates he's automatically disqualified. It doesn't make for a good video if she goes for this type of win so she hardly ever does it. In fact, this rule has only been used in one match. "It was about six months ago. A guy signed up for the match. Anastasia had him to the point that he was nearly helpless. She put him in hold, after hold, after hold, but could not get him hard no matter how she tried. Looking up at the clock, she panicked; with about ten minutes left in the match she placed him in a sleeper hold, and knocked him out. She stripped him of his suit, dragged him to one of the walls, sat him upright, and sat behind him. Using her long legs, she spread his wide and planted her feet on the mat holding his legs in place, so that I had an unobstructed view of his cock. She placed him in a full nelson, but then grabbed hold of his right wrist with her left hand, trapping both his arms but leaving her right arm free. She took his rather impressive looking cock in her hand and began to viciously manipulate its head between her thumb and forefinger. She did this for the next three minutes as he struggled to escape. His breathing became more erratic and he suddenly began to cry out, 'Oh God, Oh God, No, No, Please God No.' "With a series of convulsions, his whole body shook as cum rocketed out of him with just seconds left on the clock. I had no choice but to disqualify him. Anastasia released him and walked off, leaving him crying uncontrollably, curled up in fetal position there on the mat. I was able to console him enough so he could finally get his emotions under control. When I asked him how he was able to resist her and keep control of his body. He told me his heartbreaking story. "Three years earlier he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. After listening to all of the treatment alternatives available, he chose radiation therapy. The good news he said was that the doctors were able to save his prostate; the bad news was that because of the location of the tumor, the nerves that ran along the side of his prostate that controlled his ability to get an erection had been permanently damaged. He said he hadn't had intercourse with his beautiful wife ever since. He had planned to use the money he won to supplement the ten thousand he had already saved to pay for an implant that would artificially stimulate the muscles controlling the blood flow out of his penis thus being able to get an erection with the pressing of a remote. I was so moved by his story that I asked him to see me in my office after he cleaned himself up. "By the time he came to see me, I had already written a check for him in the amount of twenty thousand dollars. "Before I gave him the check, I had a little fun with him. 'You know, you did lie to us. In the contract that you signed before the match is a clause that states you are in good health and are capable of getting an erection.' Not waiting for a response, I continued. 'Be that as it may, I've got a check here for you, consider it a consolation prize'. "When he opened the envelope and saw the amount of the check I thought he was going to start crying all over again." "That was awfully nice of you!" Mike exclaimed. "It wasn't that nice. I took it out of Anastasia's share of the proceeds from the video for being, as you put it, such a bitch." Looking at her watch, Karla exclaimed, "Come with me, I have to get to the match it's almost 4. First we'll stop in your office so I can set you up to view the match live." ______________________________ One moment Mike's computer screen was blank, then the picture suddenly came to life. The camera was fixed on Karla as she looked directly into the lens and began to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to witness the latest in a series of Light Switch Matches. I must warn you that this type of match is extremely sexual in nature, so if this type of entertainment offends you, please return to our home screen in the next sixty seconds for a full refund. "At this time the rules for this match are scrolling down your screen. I am the referee and the judge for this match. My rulings are impartial and cannot be reversed. Now let's meet the combatants. "In this corner wearing the white suit, standing an even six feet tall, and weighing in at a very athletic one hundred ninety eight pounds is our challenger, Chris Johnson." The screen changed to a shot of a very athletically built handsome young man. He was shaking his arms and legs to keep them loose and limber, shifting his weight from on leg to the other. He was well built, with a swimmers body. His shoulders were broad, his chest full, with a narrow waist and what appeared to be powerful legs. Mike was reasonably sure that he would be a favorite with the female viewers. The picture changed momentarily to a tight shot of his suit and now Mike was absolutely sure of it. The man was well-hung; even before the match had begun he was filling out his pocket nicely. "In the black corner, wearing all black, standing six feet four inches tall, weighing in at two hundred twenty two pounds is our undefeated champion .......... ANASTASIA." The camera zoomed in for a tight shot of her face. Mike noticed that she had tied back her long black hair. She was just as breathtakingly beautiful as she was in Karla's office. The camera then backed off slightly and began a slow pan downward, as she too shifted her weight from side to side trying to keep limber. When the view hit her chest, Mike could see that the material of her tube top clung to her breasts as they bounced ever so slightly, her erect nipples clearly visible. As the camera continued downward, it paused at a view of her washboard abs before continuing downward to show her bikini-type bottom. Once again the material did little to hide what was underneath. The outline of her lips was clearly visible; the term 'camel toe' immediately popped into Mike's mind. Lower still, the view was of her long dancer's legs, the muscles of her thighs clearly visible as she shifted from foot to foot. Dramatically, the camera moved back until her whole body filled the screen. The whole process was intended to be sexually arousing; Mike had, unconsciously, put his hand in his lap to adjust his growing member. Karla called the fighters to the center of the ring. "You both know the rules. This match has a sixty-minute time limit. The time, score, and status will be posted on the scoreboard," she said as she pointed to what looked like a basketball scoreboard that had been significantly altered. The time on the board's clock indicated sixty minutes in bright red lights. Along the bottom of the board was a line of white lights, none of which were lit. In the center of the board just under the time clock was a neon depiction of a man's penis which the scorekeeper began to change by flipping a switch. The depiction of the penis in red pointed upward; a moment later the color changed to blue, and the penis was pointing downward. Along with the visual change was an audio cue: an excited repeating tone for the red penis and a lower, sadder tone for the blue. The entire score board suddenly appeared in a small window that opened in the lower right corner of his screen. As Karla was giving them their final instructions, Anastasia was gazing at Chris with hooded bedroom eyes, her lips in a slight pout. This gamesmanship was having a visible effect on Chris as he stood trance-like less than three feet from this beautiful amazon. Mike wasn't even sure if he heard Karla give them their final command, "Let's have a nice clean fight," and waved them back to their corners. With a blast from the scoreboard's buzzer and the match began; the clock beginning its countdown from sixty minutes to zero. Both fighters moved cautiously to the center of the ring. Of the two, Chris looked like the more experienced wrestler. He moved easily, feigning attempts to grab one of her legs as he slowly looked for an opening. He hadn't counted on her strength and quickness. Before he could react, her long arm grasped his and pulled him into her chest, which he hit with a loud thud. Moving quickly behind him capturing his arms, she placed him in a reverse bear hug pulling up and back until his feet left the mat. She held him like this, using just enough pressure to secure him but not causing him any pain. "I love your body, so hard, so strong, what fun I could have with it," she said as she nibbled on his ear. Suddenly the red erect penis flashed on the scoreboard. The camera zeroed in on his erection, which was quite impressive. Glancing up at the scoreboard, Anastasia verified that he indeed had an erection. Suddenly Chris screamed out in pain. Mike could see the muscles in her arms and shoulders bulge as she applied more pressure to the hold. All sexual thoughts disappeared as he fought to breathe. Soon the lower tone sounded, the status changed from red to blue indicating that the light switch had been accomplished, and the first of the white lights was lit. With what appeared to be little effort, she tossed his body sideways; he stumbled until he hit the padded wall and collapsed to the floor. Mike looked at the clock, which showed less than five minutes had passed. "Come on Chris, get up; we're going to have lots more fun, the party has only just begun." Chris scrambled to his feet only to end up in her waiting arms. This time she put one arm between his legs and the other over his shoulder, lifted his body, turned, and slammed him back onto the mat. Lifting him by one arm she got him back onto his feet again, only to lift him up again and slam him back down once again. This time however, she followed him down, landing hard on his chest and forcing any air left in his lungs out with a rush. Taking his arms high over his head she pinned him to the mat. This was of no concern to Karla, because pinning him in this match was of no consequence. It was what she was doing with her lower body that mattered. Mike watched with fascination as she shifted herself directly over his supine body and began to sensually gyrate over his captured cock. From a distance it would appear that they were in the middle of a sex act, especially with Anastasia urging her supposed lover on: "Ooooo it's so big, it feels so good. That's it; give it to me hard." She moved her chest over his face and rubbed her nipples back and forth across his lips. She could feel him hardening below her and knew she had turned him on once again, so she lifted her body just enough to allow Karla to verify that. When she heard the excited tone she knew his status had changed to 'on', so she lowered her body back down, distracting him with her breasts as she snaked her legs around each of his. When she had secured the grapevine she began to move her legs apart, and placed her hands on his shoulders lifting her upper body off his. Soon the pain became unbearable, as Chris screamed, "Make her stop; make her stop!" She held her position a little longer, until she was sure the pain had turned him off, then she released the hold and came to a kneeling position between his legs. The deflated tone sounded again, the erection changed from red to blue, and a second light was lit. Not giving him a chance to recover, she straddled his body and slowly crawled towards his head. "Chris, Chris, why do you fight me so? You know you want me; why put yourself through all this pain?" She sighed in her velvety, accented voice. "Come, smell how excited I am for you." Before it registered in his pain-racked brain, she had him in a schoolgirl pin. With a quick yank of his hair she pulled his head firmly against her barely covered sex and tightened her legs locking him into place. She was sexually aroused, but it was not for him, but rather because of her control over him. The camera shot changed, allowing the viewer to see his struggles as his lower body twisted and his legs thrashed in a futile effort to escape. Soon it became clear for all to see: Chris was beginning to get hard again. His pocket began to elongate and slowly lift off his lower belly. The now familiar excited tone sounded again, and the red erection lit once again. Checking the scoreboard, an evil smile slowly came to her face. Releasing his head from between her legs, she allowed it to drop to the mat. "I see you enjoyed yourself; if you liked that then you'll love this." With a quick shuffle forward, her calves holding his head steady, she placed her ass directly onto his face. Within moments his body began to buck wildly. His hands moved to her ass trying desperately to push her off; but at over two hundred twenty pounds she was far too heavy for him to dislodge. His movements began to slow as he ran out of air and at last ceased altogether. Moments later the low tone sounded, and Anastasia rolled off his now motionless body. With a quick glance at the scoreboard she verified that she had cycled him three times in less than fifteen minutes; she was right on schedule. Anastasia walked calmly to her corner of the room and took a sip from her water bottle, adjusted her hair, and waited for Chris to rejoin her. The view changed once again to show Chris's face, which appeared to be peacefully asleep. Mike suddenly realized that Karla was wearing a wireless camera and microphone, just like the police. He watched, fascinated as Chris's eyes opened and he slowly became aware of his surroundings. The view changed again; now a long shot showing Karla backing away from his prone body as he began to roll over in an attempt to get to his feet. "I'm glad you decided to join us once again; it's time for some more fun." Anastasia quickly closed the distance between them, just as Chris made it to his feet. She hooked an arm under his, turned quickly, took a couple of steps and tossed him over her hip sending his body several feet into the air and then crashing down on to the mat. She picked him up and repeated the move back in the other direction. Picking him up a third time, she moved behind him placing him in a standing full nelson. She held him motionless for several seconds; Mike could see her deltoids bulge as she began to bear down causing Chris to moan in pain. The view changed to Chris's face, a look of fear clearly displayed for all to see. Suddenly she moved them quickly towards the camera. The viewed changed just in time to capture the impact against the padded wall. Chris absorbed the brunt of the blow; first by hitting the wall and then a split second later, her rock solid body slammed into his back. "Are you having fun yet? I know I am," she asked more for the viewers than for Chris. She moved him back to the center of the room. Mike assumed as she bent to her side that she was going to preform another body slam; instead with one arm around his neck and the other between his legs she effortlessly hoisted his body onto her shoulders into a backer breaker hold. Anastasia turned until she was facing the scoreboard, noted the time remaining and bending the arm that held his leg she began to caress his scrotum using her elbow to keep his leg in place. Her finger traced a circle around his package and then lightly along the crack of his ass. Soon her actions achieved the desired result; when she received verification of his status change she simply began to increase the pressure on his back. It only took a few seconds before the pain in his back erased any of the erotic feelings he had previously had. Looking back at the scoreboard, Anastasia saw that the status symbol had now changed to blue and, with a shrug of her shoulders, released his body and allowed it to fall to the mat. Not giving him time to recover, she turned his prone body onto his back and sat astride his stomach. At the same time she grabbed his wrists and stretched his arms over his head. Anastasia slid backwards until she could feel his cock wedged between her ass cheeks. "Chris, you're not hard yet. How can we have any fun if you keep losing your erection? Let's see if this helps." She said as she slowly began to gyrate her hips. In order to speed the process along she bent forward and began rubbing her breasts lightly across his face. Before Chris could respond, Anastasia leaped off his body, and while still controlling his arms knelt behind his head facing him. She placed a knee on each side of his head, pinning his arms to the mat and started to rub her hands down his chest and across his stomach. She left little doubt as to her ultimate goal. By this time Mike could tell that Chris was fully erect and so could Karla. A moment later the excited tone sounded and his status changed to red. As her hands touched the top of his suit, Chris tried to capture her head between his legs. His first attempt failed, but with his second try he momentarily succeeded if only for a second. "That wasn't very nice Chris; I think you are going to have to be punished." Disregarding her words he tried again. With lighting quick reflexes, Anastasia captured both of his legs and slowly pulled them towards her causing his body to bend over onto itself. An idea seemed to be forming in her mind as a sadistic smile appeared on her gorgeous face. "There once was a man from Nantucket, whose dick was so long he could...." As she pulled his legs further back, panic overcame Chris. Mike could see him trying to turn his head, but she squeezed her knees inward thus holding his head tightly in place. "Open your mouth. I said, open your mouth! If you don't open your mouth I'm going to break you in half." The screen now showed a close up on Chris's face as his erection began to poke at his tightly clenched lips. Mike could see a tear running down the side of his face as he capitulated to her demands and opened his mouth. She pushed his legs down further, forcing the head and at least two inches of his cock into his mouth which remained wide open. "Suck it. Suck it. That's a good boy," she said as he closed his lips around his cock. By adjusting the amount of pressure she maintained on his legs, she started moving his cock in and out of his mouth. "Oh Chris, that's so kinky. I think, maybe, you've done this before." Mike couldn't help but feel sorry for Chris. It was bad enough to be manhandled by this powerful woman; but to be totally humiliated for all the viewers to see was just too much. Mike didn't know if it was the obvious pain that she was inflicting on him or the humiliation he must have been feeling, but soon Chris began to soften, until he could no longer maintain contact. The down tone sounded once again and the fifth light was illuminated. Anastasia looked up at the clock; she had five cycles to her credit, half way to victory. But that last cycle had taken fifteen minutes off the clock. She had less than twenty-three minutes to complete five more cycles. She released her hold and started to get to her feet. But, she had turned her back to Chris; she didn't see the hatred in his eyes as he scrambled to his feet and charged her, knocking her onto her back. He quickly covered her body, pinning her shoulders to the mat. Mike found himself rooting for him as Karla struck the mat twice, before Anastasia could lift one of her shoulders. Before he could be thrown off her body, he tried to capture one of her legs to gain more leverage. To Chris's surprise she scissored his arm, and with a burst of strength extended her legs pulling him off her body. "I see you've finally grown a pair of balls to go along with that impressive cock." They each scrambled to their feet, but Anastasia was a little quicker; before Chris was ready to defend himself she swept him off of his feet and slammed him to the mat. Three more times she repeated the maneuver until he could barely breathe. Mike watched as the brutal beauty brought him up into a sitting position and sat down behind him. He was pretty sure what was going to come next. Sure enough, Anastasia placed her legs around his waist, and used a full nelson to capture his arms. Chris was facing directly into the camera; all of the fight had been beaten out of him. Capturing his right wrist in her left hand she had him totally incapacitated, and yet had her right hand free to stroke and caress him. In less than a minute she turned him on again. Then she tightened the leg scissors until he screamed in pain to complete the cycle. Three more times she ran him through the cycle. When she checked the clock she had nearly fifteen minutes to win the match. Still holding him in place she whispered in his ear, "I could end the match right now, but what fun would that be. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you a wrestling lesson for the next ten minutes, and then I'm going to turn you on again. If you are a good boy and get nice and hard for me, I'll tell Karla to turn off the cameras and give us a little privacy." For the next ten minutes Anastasia used her magnificent body to torture him; moving from one submission hold to another, maintaining each hold just long enough to cause Chris agonizing pain but releasing the hold before he passed out. With five minutes to go, she switched tactics, using her body as a weapon of seduction instead of destruction. Mike watched in amazement as Chris' body once again responded to her caresses in spite of the beating that he had endured. Anastasia stood and held him at arms-length proudly displaying for the viewers his rock hard cock as it pulsated with the beat of his heart. She was just about to begin the turn off process, when Chris suddenly reached out and yanked her top down, exposing her firm C-cup breasts with their prominent nipples, and pulled himself forward. His mouth latched onto her nipple and he began to suckle. "Smart move Chris; that just might work," Mike shouted at the screen. Chris knew that he could not fight her off if she tried to complete the cycle by inflicting more pain. He hoped to distract her long enough by giving her pleasure and maintaining his erection as well. Anastasia's eyes were partially closed as she savored the sexual sensations pulsating through her body. Mike had one eye on the clock and the other on the close up of Chris as he sucked and nibbled on her breast. Then, with exactly three minutes to go in the match, Anastasia bent her head and whispered into his ear. "If you wanted to see my titties why didn't you say so? Here, have a closer look." She pulled his head back until she dislodged him from her nipple and then, with both hands behind his head, she smashed his face into the valley between her breasts and held him firmly in place as she pushed her breasts together with her arms. With less than two minutes left in the match, Chris's arms fell to his side and his body hung limply against her. Anastasia, once again held him at arms-length so Karla and the viewers could watch as his erection ever so slowly began to sag. From pointing upward it began to sink, past perpendicular and finally pointing towards the floor. The final tone sounded, the status signal switched from red to blue, the tenth and final light turned on, and the busser sounded ending the match. Mike noted the time; 58 seconds remained on the clock. Anastasia held him for one last moment and then dropped him like a bag of garbage, turned and walked towards the door, leaving Karla to see to Chris's condition. ________________________________ "That woman infuriates me sometimes!" Karla hissed as she closed the door to Mike's office. "She treats all of her opponents as if they were sexual predators. They are totally humiliated, physically broken, and in some cases, sexually destroyed. Then it becomes my job to fix the damages as best I can. Fortunately, Debbie and Linda volunteered to take care of Chris. The last time I saw them they were just about to enter the storage room." "The longer the match went on, the more I found myself rooting for Chris. To tell you the truth, I really don't understand why anyone would want to wrestle her." "Money and sexual pleasure. Most of the guys that accept her challenge have no clue what they are in for; all they see is her beautiful facade, not what's in her heart. Now you can better understand why none of the women can stand her and why all of the guys hate her." "Then why do you keep her around?" "I'll admit it: it's for the money. She accounts for about a third of the company's income. We're sort of stuck with each other. I need her to help grow our revenue. I won't be able to do this forever; nor would I want to. Someday I'd like to sell the company and retire early. She needs me because she couldn't get the money she gets from here anywhere else. She needs a lot of money to fund her lifestyle. She lives as a recluse; in a huge compound, with three beautiful female employees -- a housekeeper, a personal assistant, and a grounds keeper -- each of whom is also her sexual slave." "How do you know so much about her personal life?" "When she first started with the company, she invited me to her home for an afternoon of swimming and fun. When I arrived the door was answered by her housekeeper, who was completely naked. She escorted me outside to the pool where Anastasia and two other women were sunbathing; all three equally naked. She told me that the house rules required everyone to be naked and that I was totally over-dressed. I figured 'when in Rome...', so I stripped and enjoyed the sun and the pool. "At some point in the afternoon, while she and I were soaking up the sun, Anastasia clapped her hands once and the three women got up and stood in front of her. Suddenly one of the women crawled up between her legs and began to lick her. Another woman stood behind her lounge chair and massaged her breasts. I was so engrossed with what was going on in front of me that I was totally unaware that the housekeeper was kneeling at my feet, waiting for me to spread my legs. When I shook my head, she pleaded with me." 'Please, my mistress will be very angry with me. If she finds that you are not pleased with me she will beat me.' "I'm really not into female on female sex; reluctantly, I spread my legs and closed my eyes and tried to relax. I have to admit that she was very, very good at what she was doing. I must have cum half a dozen times before I had to push her away because I just couldn't take any more. "When I glanced over at Anastasia she was wearing a huge strap-on and was fucking one of the women from behind while that woman was licking the other woman who was on the lounge. Soon the housekeeper straddled the lounge chair and was gyrating on that woman's face. "I have to tell you, it was what it must have been like to be part of a Roman orgy. They continued to switch places until all three had been thoroughly fucked by Anastasia, who then turned to me and asked if I wanted to take her place. It was at that point that I realized how emotionally damaged she was." After a period of contemplation she turned back to Mike and asked, "Enough about her; how's everything going with you? Any problems? Anything I can help you with? How's your strength training with Truda coming along?" "Everything's going well, I've got a pretty good schedule going with most of my trainees. As far as my training is concerned I'm more than pleased. I've never been stronger or in better shape, but you'll have to ask Truda what her opinion is. All she does is push me harder and harder and all she tells me is that I'm almost ready; for what she won't say." The whole time she was talking to him, she'd been standing close and running the tips of her fingers up his arms and across his chest. If he didn't know better, he'd say that she was flirting with him. But she was the boss and besides, as beautiful and sexy as she was, she had to have a boyfriend, right? "I keep in close contact with Truda and she's very pleased with your progress. In fact everyone that I've spoken to about you has had nothing but good things to report. Keep up the good work." With that Karla stood and walked out the door. Chapter Seven: After three hours of working with his trainees and another two hours of strength training with Truda, Mike was more than happy to retreat to his office and do some paperwork. After making some progress notations for each of his trainees, he called up his email. He had one new email. It was from Linda in the office. 'You have been scheduled to fight Karla Anderson on the 28th at 4:00 in the main event ring. Event type - Boxing. Please click accept to respond.' 'Great,' he thought, 'another chance to make some real money and to avenge my previous loss to her. I have ten days to get ready.' He clicked accept and then called up the fight calendar. Sure enough, there was their fight scheduled on the 28th. He also noted that Karla was scheduled that afternoon at 4:00 to wrestle some guy named Bruno. Checking the time, he noted that he had just enough time to get his hour in on the treadmill and grab a quick shower before the match. At five minutes to four, Mike ran out of the locker room and headed for the main event ring. It seemed like all the seats were taken, but then Truda stood up and waved him over by her and the one remaining empty seat. Debbie, the wrestling instructor, was already seated on his other side. "Who's the big guy? I've never seen him before." "That's Bruno Morretti he's not one of our regulars; he's one of Karla's specials." "Specials?" "Oh, I forgot you're relatively new around here. Our opponents basically come from three sources. One source is our employees/members; the guys you see training here on a regular basis. Then we have the challenge matches where different gyms and fight clubs challenge our fighters. The third type is what Karla calls 'Specials'. Karla goes out to various 'Tough Man' competitions and offers the winners big money to come here to fight. We also get tips from the local cops about guys who get off on beating up their wives or girlfriends, and who seem to be able to evade prosecution. Karla offers them $50,000 to fight her. Of course that's chump change to her, especially when you take into account the potential revenue from one of these videos. "Bruno, it seems, likes to slap his wife around when he gets bored. The cops were alerted a number of times, but the wife refuses to press charges, probably because she's scared to death of him. Karla and I met with her a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't know it yet, but she's going to leave him right after the match and is coming here to live and train." "He looks pretty big; I hope Karla can take him." "No problem; the guy's big and strong, but he's got no formal training, he's out of shape, and I'm sure he's never fought anyone who can compare with Karla," Debbie answered. Mike wasn't convinced. He watched as Bruno paced from one side of the ring to the other. The look on Bruno's face was enough to scare the hell out of just about anyone. "Where the hell is she? Is she too scared to come out of the locker room?" he thundered. "I'm right here, Bruno, don't have a stroke. Are you in that much of a hurry to get your ass whooped?" Karla replied as she stepped through the ropes. Dressed in a white one-piece bathing suit which clung to her like a second layer of skin, she looked invincible. Her huge arms and shoulders shocked Mike. He hadn't seen her dressed like this before. When she was in the office she always dressed in business casual clothes and when she worked out it was always in sweats. 'She must be close to 200 pounds,' he thought to himself,' and I've got to fight her next week.' Donna, the MC for the event moved to the center of the ring. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Amazon Combat Arena; this is our main event. Introducing, in the blue corner, standing six feet three inches tall and weighing two hundred forty five pounds, from the city of San Diego, Bruno Morretti." The gym was filled with sound of boos. "And in the red corner, our founder and CEO, standing six feet and one half inch and weighing two hundred and two pounds, the one, the only, Karla Anderson." The place went crazy. The sound of cheers, whistles and the stomping of feet seemed to shake the ground. When the noise finally abated, Donna continued. "This is a no-holds-barred, submission only match, one fall, with a one-hour time limit. The prize is $50,000. Fighters, good luck and may the better fighter win." The bell sounded and Bruno came running out of his corner planning on ending this farce quickly. Karla easily side-stepped his bull rush and Bruno crashed into her corner. Furious he turned and launched himself once again in her direction. This time Karla pivoted on her left foot and hit him squarely in the chest with a spinning mule kick, stopping Bruno dead in his tracks. Before he could recover, she grabbed his arm and flung him across the ring into the ropes. As he bounced off the ropes, Karla, standing in his path, bent at the waist, allowed him to run in to her. At the moment of impact she stood up sending Bruno high into the air. He came crashing down onto his back shaking the entire ring expelling any air he had in his lungs. Not allowing him to recover, Karla pulled him to his feet and with one arm between his legs and one arm over his shoulder picked him up as if he were a sack of flour and slammed him back onto the canvass. Twice more she slammed him and then dragged him onto his feet and whipped him into the ropes again. Bruno's nearly comatose body careened off the ropes; Karla waited in the center of the ring. At precise the proper moment, she jumped high into the air and planted both feet into his chest, again stopping his forward momentum. Bruno crashed to the mat, only the twitch of his legs assured Mike that he wasn't dead. Karla regained her feet and slowly strutted over to Bruno's prone body. Standing tall, she prodded him with her foot as she taunted him. "Come on tough guy, get up; I'm not through with you yet. We were just starting to have some fun." Seeing that he wasn't getting up any time soon, Karla retreated to her corner. Reached down and grabbed her water bottle. She took a sip, then walked back to his body and made a show of slowly pouring a little of her water onto his face. Bruno spurted and coughed and after several moments, slowly turned onto his side and, with the help of the ropes, struggled to his feet. Meanwhile Karla had turned her back on him, sealed the bottle, and tossed it back to Min Lee her corner person. As she turned to face Bruno once again, he lashed out with a powerful right hand, which, if it had landed squarely, would have done significant damage to her beautiful face. As it was however, it just grazed her jaw, just hard enough to draw a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth. "That was a big mistake," Truda whispered to no one in particular. Mike had to agree as he watched Karla wipe the blood with the back of her right hand and raise it to her mouth, her tongue giving the back of her hand a quick lick. Just as quickly she moved into her boxing stance. Both Mike and Truda, as with one voice, began the chant: jab, jab, jab, shift your weight, straight right! It was as if Karla could hear their instructions. Bruno had no defense for her onslaught. The right hand caught him flush on the jaw. He fell back into the ropes and keeled forward, face first crashing down to the canvass once again. "Get up tough guy, get up and fight. You like hitting women, beating them for your own amusement. How does it feel to be on the receiving end? Get up, I'm not through with you yet." When he didn't move, Karla walked over to the nearest camera and did a slow, sensual muscle show for the video. Mike sat in awe as he watched each set of muscles seem to explode into full definition. He could feel one 'muscle' of his own quickly come to life. His face turned red from embarrassment as he felt Debbie's hand slowly begin to caress his thigh. "Don't be embarrassed Mike, all of the guys and at least half of the women have all felt the same way at one time or another. Look over there." Mike, followed her gaze and notice two women sitting on the aisle of the next section of seats, each had a hand between the legs of the other as they watched the spectacle going on in the ring. Finished with her impromptu performance, Karla sauntered back to Bruno's still unconscious body. She knelt near his head, grabbed a handful of his dark, curly hair, and pulled his head up, giving the viewers a good look at her handiwork. "I'm not through with him just yet. I want to hear him cry for mercy. They all cry for mercy in the end. But the only thing is, I have no mercy to give these weak, spineless thugs. Just think how it would feel to get in the ring with me; to feel these python-like arms and legs slowly crush your weak, insignificant little body. You too could be crying for mercy just like he'll be doing in a couple of minutes. Just give me a call or shoot me an email. The number and my address are on our website." Karla looked back down at his lifeless face and began to slap him, gently at first, and then with more authority, until his eyes began to flutter open. Letting his head flop back to the canvass, she retreated back to her corner allowing Bruno to slowly revive, stand up on his shaky legs, and retreat to his corner. All the bravado that he had exhibited earlier was gone replaced by fear. Karla slowly crossed the ring, like a panther on the prowl, until she stood directly in front of Bruno. Without a word and with no defense from Bruno she tossed him head over heels across the ring. For the next ten minutes she gave him a wrestling lesson that he would never forget; putting him in one debilitating hold after another until he was prostrate at her feet. "Bruno, I want you to surrender to me right now and promise me that you will never strike another woman as long as you live. If you don't I promise you that the pain you're in now is nothing compared to the pain that lies ahead." Mike didn't know if Bruno was even aware or could respond to her. With a shrug of her shoulders, Karla moved forward and placed his head between her muscular thighs, crossed her ankles, and began to slowly squeeze. Bruno began to moan and, as she increased the pressure, began to scream out his submission. "Aaggh! Please don't kill me; you're gonna crush my skull. I give. I give. You win. I promise to never hit another woman ever again. Please stop. Please." Karla, looked up into the camera, struck a double bicep pose, and smiled a wicked smile. "See, I told you they all beg in the end. Dream of me tonight." Debbie leaned over to Mike and whispered in his ear. "It's almost over now." Karla released the pressure, uncrossed her legs and Bruno's head fell to the canvass. Mike could tell that he was still alive by the rhythmic movement of his chest, but knew for certain that he would need extensive medical care. Karla moved behind him and pulled him into a sitting position. She clamped one of her mighty arms around his head under his chin, while placing the other hand on top of his head. "That's it, a classic sleeper hold, he's finished." Linda fell to her knees in front of him as Karla increased the pressure of the hold. At first Bruno began to wave his arms, then one hand grasped her arm in a vain attempt to break her hold. Linda watched as his eyes slowly closed and his arms fell to his side. "He's out, Karla; release him," she yelled. Karla released the hold and allowed the body to fall face first to the canvass. She waved to the crowd as the bell rang ending the massacre. She left the ring to a standing ovation while Linda and Truda, who had already made her way to the ring, slid the motionless body under the bottom rope to the apron of the ring and then on to a rolling gurney for transport to a hospital back in San Diego. _____________________________ Mike was very quiet at dinner. The only thing on his mind was his upcoming fight with Karla. How was he ever going to beat her? He had thought he stood a chance against her because of his training with Truda, but that was before today's match; before he realized just how muscular she had gotten. She was as strong as a heavy-weight, but appeared to have the speed and the skills of an experienced middle-weight. For Mike, that was a lethal combination. At least he had nine more days to get himself ready. The only positive element to his upcoming fight was that it was going to be a boxing match and not wrestling. Chapter Eight: For the next nine days he trained hard with Truda, increasing his personal bests in three upper body lifts. He also scheduled two sparring sessions a day with the best of his trainees. He beat all of the males and all but two of the women. Truda and Cathy still gave him trouble but he felt he held his own for most of their sessions. The day of the fight, Mike did a light cardio workout in the morning and rested most of the early afternoon. Unable to overcome the excitement and anticipation of the fight, he left his room at 3:00 and walked over to the gym. Fifteen minutes later he was sitting by himself in front of his locker. Jeff had already wrapped his hands and helped him with his gloves. "You should see the crowd out there," Jeff exclaimed after returning to the locker room. "I'll bet every current member and nearly every former member is here to see this fight." "Terrific" Mike replied dourly. "What's wrong Mike? You should be really jazzed about fighting her. What's the worst thing that can happen? She destroys you in the first round? So what, look what you have to look forward to afterwards; terrific sex with one or more of the Amazons and then sitting back and watching the money rolling in." "I don't want to lose; but if I do, I want my healing to be with Karla. I love her, I think I've loved her since the first time I met her" "Then I think you may have a problem. I've been here for nearly three years. I've never heard of anyone who's been administered the sexual healing by Karla. Come to think of it, I've never even seen her with a boyfriend. Maybe she's not into guys if you know what I mean." Mike didn't appear to be listening. He just sat with his arms on his knees staring at the floor. After ten minutes, Jeff jumped up off the bench next to him and shouted, "Enough is enough. You've got a fight to win. Get up off your ass and warm up. I'm going to set up our corner. Come out at 4 o'clock." Promptly at 4:00, Mike entered the gym and made his way to the main event ring. Jeff had been right, the crowd was huge; there wasn't a seat to be had and people were standing three or four deep wherever they could. By the time he climbed into the ring he could hear the chant being raised by the guys in the crowd. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike raised a fist in the air acknowledging the cheers of the crowd. For Mike, this was, on a smaller scale, what he had aspired to when he had wanted to turn pro. He was brought back to the moment by the sudden roar of the crowd as Karla climbed into the ring. She was dressed in her signature white. An Amazon Combat Arena tee-shirt with the arms cut off, and shortened to reveal her incredible abs. On the back was the Arena's familiar motto, 'A Hard Man is Good to Beat'. This was over a pair of white gym shorts and fringed, white boxing shoes. The outfit did little to hide neither her obvious muscularity nor her feminine curves. Mike and Jeff were huddled in their corner going over some last minute strategy. "Mike, I think your best bet is to try to take her out early. She hasn't boxed much since I've been here. She's been concentrating on improving her wrestling skills and bulking up. There may be a lot of ring rust built up. The longer this fight goes the tougher she's going to get." Suddenly, the voice of the MC for the event boomed out of the speakers. Linda stood in the center of the ring, dressed in what could only be described as a sexual version of a black tuxedo consisting of a black string bikini, and a jacket with tails. On her legs were black stockings, and on her feet black shoes with five-inch heels. "Ladies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please. This is the main event of the evening. We have two of our most popular boxers fighting tonight. These fighters have a history together. They have fought on two previous occasions. Each has come away with a victory by knockout. "In the blue corner, standing five feet eight inches tall and weighing a trim one hundred and seventy four pounds, the man that all the female fighters voted the fighter they'd most like to administer to after a match, the Arena's boxing instructor, Mike Wilson." Linda waited patiently for the considerable cheers to die down. "And in the red corner, a woman who needs no introduction. Standing six feet and one half inch tall and weighing two hundred and two pounds, our founder and CEO, the blonde widow-maker, 'Killer Karla' Anderson." Once again the crowd erupted, the noise filling the arena. "This fight is scheduled for ten rounds of boxing. Your referee for this event is Truda Schmidt." Truda beckoned both fighters to the center of the ring. Placing an arm on each fighter's shoulder, she gave them their final instructions. "I want a nice clean fight; no holding and hitting. When I say break, you stop punching and take a step back. You can be saved by the bell in every round but the final round. I can administer a standing eight count if I deem it necessary. Any questions?" Neither Mike nor Karla responded; they were too busy staring down one another; trying to intimidate the other. "Okay, then; let's give them their money's worth. Protect yourself at all times. Touch gloves now and come out fighting at the sound of the bell." They touched gloves, turned and retreated to their respective corners. Mouthpieces were inserted and last minute words of encouragement exchanged. With the sound of the bell the first round began. Both fighters moved out cautiously, respecting the abilities of the other fighter. Mike was the first to throw a punch; a quick jab, which penetrated Karla's defense. Moments later he tried another jab with the same result. But, this time Karla responded with a left-right combination, which Mike was able evade. He circled to his right, away from her power, changing directions when he felt she was trying to cut off the ring, all the time flicking his jab into her face. Near the end of the round he moved inside, scoring well with both hands to her midsection. Her abs and obliques were more than capable of withstanding his onslaught. This was an attack to build up points, and hopefully to slow her down in the later rounds. When the bell sounded ending the round, both fighters returned to their corners. Jeff congratulated Mike. "That round belongs to you. I told you she'd be rusty, it was bound to happen after a three-year layoff. I want you to pick up the pace this round. Get to her early and she's yours." Mike sat on his stool, 'it had been a good round,' he thought, but he held no illusions that this was going to be easy. He was a light heavy weight, fighting a skilled fighter two weight classes above his. In addition, he knew she was at least twice as strong as him. She could end the fight with one punch if he wasn't careful. One mistake and the fight would be over. Just before the beginning of the second round a thought came to him. 'In all the fights I've had here and all the fights I've seen, I've never seen a fight end with a decision. Every fight has ended by knockout. I wonder if they even have judges and a scoring system.' The ten second warning was given and moments later the bell for round two sounded. This time Mike hurried out of his corner bringing the fight directly to Karla. The fighters stood toe to toe for a good thirty seconds exchanging punches with Mike's the crisper of the two. He ate some leather but for each one of her punches that landed he landed three. Then, just as quickly, he reverted back to circling and sticking his jab in her face. He could see the frustration on her face, as well as a slight welling under her right eye. With less than a minute to go in the round, Mike tried once again to get inside and pound her belly. He never made it; Karla landed a right uppercut to his unprotected ribs, knocking all the air out of his lungs and forcing him to hang onto her for dear life. Mike was still trying to breathe when he heard Truda's command to break. Ignoring her he continued to hold trying to get a couple more seconds to recover. Before Truda could issue a second command, Mike's arms seemed to fly outward as Karla expanded her chest and thrust her arms outward breaking his grip. But before Karla could follow up on her advantage, Mike practically ran sideways out of range. Moments later the bell sounded ending round two. Heading back to his corner he received a warning from Truda about obeying her commands. As he slumped onto his stool, catching up on his breathing, Jeff was already applying an ice pack to his ribs. "Damn. She hits like a mule." "Be careful out there; a couple a more shots like that and we'll be picking you up off the floor." When the bell sounded for round three, Mike moved out of his corner more cautiously, his left arm held closer to his side to protect his rib cage. This was just a ploy; he was hoping to draw her in, maybe take advantage of a mistake or two before she caught on. He resumed his circling to his right, throwing left jabs to keep her away, and, occasionally, a combination off the jab. Karla tried to follow up on her success from the earlier round but all she succeeded in doing was score a couple solid shots to his arm and shoulder, nothing that would cause him any more damage. Near the end of the round, Karla threw a left hook to his ribs, trying to copy the success she had had on his other side. Mike never consciously saw the opening that was suddenly presented to him, but his years of training made him react to it. He launched a powerful right hook over her left, which landed solidly on the left side of her jaw. Her head lurched to the right, sweat and her mouthpiece flying out of the ring, before her body crashed to the canvass. The whole arena was in shock; even Mike stood looking down on her prone body, as Truda pushed him towards a neutral corner and then turned to start the count. All of the males in the arena began to cheer as they finally realized what they had witnessed. Just as Truda reached eight, the bell sounded ending the round. Debbie, Karla's corner-person, raced across the ring and half-dragged the still woozy fighter back to her stool. "That was beautiful. Crap, you had her, only the bell could have saved her. How do you feel?" "Her hook landed just after mine did. I think she may have cracked one of my ribs." Jeff crouched directly in front of Mike as he held an ice pack to Mike's right side. He wanted to hide the maneuver from Karla and her corner person. 'No sense telling them that Mike's hurt again.' Both fighters move out cautiously at the start of round four. Karla appeared to be over the worst of the effects of her, near knock-out the previous round, while Mike moved constantly to the right giving as much protection to his ribs as possible. Each fighter landed solid shots during an exchange midway through the round. It appeared that Karla was beginning to move the momentum of the fight in her direction. Rounds five, six and seven proved to be more of the same. With each round Karla gained more confidence and inflicted increasingly more damage on Mike's face and body. During round eight Mike was knocked down twice, once with a beautiful uppercut that landed solidly in his midsection, dropping him to his knees gasping for breath. The second was the result of a five-punch combination that ended with Mike sitting in his corner and Jeff shouting for him to get up. Mike just beat the count as he climbed the ropes back to a standing position. It was a testament to his skill and conditioning that he was able to survive to the end of the round. "That's it; I'm ending this before she kills you," Jeff said as he reached for the towel he had used earlier to clean Mike of his own blood that Karla's gloves had smeared all over his face. "No way," Mike yelled, grabbing the towel from Jeff's hand and tossing it out of the ring. "Don't you fuck'n dare try to stop this fight. She's going to have to beat me to win. I'm not going to quit." The bell rang and round nine began. Mike came out of his corner quickly; a new shot of adrenaline coursing through his veins brought him back to his earlier level of aggressiveness. Circling to his right, he shot out a steady stream of jabs to Karla's unprotected face. Karla's total lack of defense was apparent as she stalked him around the ring looking for an opening to land a fight-ending punch. Blood was dripping from her nose and from a nasty looking cut at the corner of her right eye. The swelling under that eye, which Linda had been able to keep under control, now seemed to all but close the eye all together, making it almost impossible for her to see to her right. Realizing her problem, Mike suddenly reversed directions, quickly moving to his left before launching a series of left hooks to her midsection and ribs, setting up a straight right that landed solidly on her jaw. Karla landed on her back, her arms and legs outstretched. Mike quickly retreated to a neutral corner as Truda began the count. 'There's no way she's going to get up; it's over.' Mike thought as he sagged back against the corner, his arms hanging along the top rope. Truda had reached five as Karla rolled over and began the slow climb up the ropes. She made it to her feet at nine and turned, holding her gloves in front of her face as Truda checked her condition and cleaned off any debris that could cause harm to the other fighter. Satisfied with her condition, Truda waved Mike out of the corner and the fight resumed. Karla went into a protective shell as Mike did the best he could to bring her guard down. It was a testament to her conditioning and overall muscularity that she was able to withstand his body barrage. When the bell sounded ending the ninth round the entire crowd was on its feet screaming encouragement to both fighters. An adrenaline rush can only last so long, and it was a totally exhausted fighter that collapsed onto his stool. Jeff was trying everything he could think of to energize his fighter; even to the point of pouring a handful of ice chips into his shorts. Across the ring in the other corner, Linda was working the ice bags as well in a desperate attempt to re-open Karla's right eye. It was two battle weary fighters that answered the bell for the final round. The crowd was still on their feet, cheering on both fighters as they touched gloves. The fighters stood toe to toe, neither wanting to bend to the will of the other. Mike using his superior hand speed and movement to make Karla miss. Karla, willing to take numerous hits in order to land one solid fight ending punch, absorbing the best Mike had to offer. In the end the old adage turned out to be true; a good big man, or in this case woman, will prevail over a good small man. After a near miss with a straight right that just grazed Mike's right cheek, Karla fired a perfectly timed left hook that landed solidly on his jaw. Mike never saw the punch coming, one moment he was evading a lead right and the next moment everything went black. Mike's body pitched forward, his knees hitting the canvass a fraction of a second before his face. As she stood over him Karla knew that the fight was over. She calmly walked back to her corner where Linda and Debbie both were cheering loudly. "You two know what to do." Both nodded; no words needed to be exchanged. Truda, by this time, had reached "10" and proclaimed Karla the winner. Karla had her hand raised, posed for a final camera shot, climbed out of the ring to the cheers of her fans, and headed to the locker room. Truda knelt over Mike's motionless body and slowly turned him over onto his back. The rolling gurney was brought ringside; Linda and Debbie helped Truda get Mike out of the ring and on to the gurney, and rolled him into Truda's office. He was just coming to when she finished reading the x-rays of his ribs and skull. She gave him a concussion test, concluding that that too was negative. "Mike; that was the greatest fight I have ever seen. You should be proud of what you accomplished. "But I assume I lost, right?" "Yes you lost, but you can hold your head high; you didn't back down, you gave everything you had. Unfortunately you were up against a better fighter. There's no shame in losing to one of the best. Here's some Advil, take them now; they'll help with the pain. I'll stop in later this evening to check on you. Now it's time for you to leave." Truda helped Mike to stand and, on very unsteady legs, he left her office heading back to the locker room. As he entered the vestibule between the two locker rooms he became aware of two figures lurking just beyond the door. Before he could react, two beautiful, very muscular and very naked women took him under the arms and carried him into the men's locker room. Debbie held him upright while Linda removed his shoes and socks. Mike, much to his embarrassment, was already beginning to respond. He tried to escape but Debbie easily maintained her control as she whispered in his ear. "Relax; we're just here to help you get cleaned up, and to make sure you don't get hurt." By this time, Linda had him completely naked and was gently holding his impressive equipment. "I can't wait to get my share of this." "Easy girl, we have our orders; we can look but can't touch, remember?" "Oh, alright. Let's get him cleaned up before I get myself in trouble." The women helped him into the shower and scrubbed him down, being careful not to cause him any more pain than was absolutely unavoidable, washing all of the dried blood, which was mostly his own, off his body. Linda couldn't help herself; after rinsing off his now totally-erect cock, she took him all the way into her mouth, just to prove to herself -- and to him -- that she could. "Linda, if he cums you'll be in a world of trouble." They helped him back to his locker and were drying his hair with a towel when Truda came into the room holding a small syringe and quickly stuck it in his butt cheek. They held him upright until his legs gave way and then laid him on the bench. They quickly got him dressed, carried him out to Truda's Hummer, and transported him to the house and up the stairs to Karla's bedroom. ________________________ Mike's eyes began to flutter and open as he slowly regained consciousness. At first he thought he was lying in his own bed. 'No wait; this is not my room. Whose room is this?' He tried to get up and then two things became readily apparent; one, his head was pounding and two, every part of his body above his waist was screaming at him to keep still. Suddenly a female figure appeared in the bathroom doorway. She was backlit so he couldn't see her face, but there was no doubt that she was a woman; a large, muscular and very sexy woman. "I'm glad to see you've finally come around. I've been checking on you for the last hour or so and I was beginning to get a little worried. Do you remember anything that happened to you?" 'Karla?' he thought. "The last thing I remember, I was in the care of two beautiful and very naked Amazons." "And before that?" "You beat the crap out of me." Karla closed the bathroom door, slowly crossed the room and climbed onto the bed. Two candles on the nightstand issued a soft light illuminating her face. It was clear that he had inflicted considerable damage during their fight. "If you look that bad, I can image what I look like." "That's one of the reasons why you're here. I know you've been through this a number of times since you started here so you know what we are about to do. But even if I had allowed one of the other women to administer the healing, we still would have gotten together. "Remember when I hired you I said I had two reasons? You see, the other reason is that since the first time we met I've been attracted to you. I've kept myself at arms-length from you because I wanted to see what kind of guy you were, how you worked with the rest of our people, and what kind of heart you possessed. I found myself liking you more and more every day. That posed a new problem for me. "Here in The Arena, I had set a high standard for the women to follow: to the Victor goes the spoils. Well, in your case, I wasn't the Victor because we had each won a fight against the other. If I was going to be the Victor I would first have to beat you once again. But for us to have fought in the condition that you were in when you first started here would not have been fair; and it would have been a hollow victory for me. That's why I had you train with Truda; you needed to be a lot stronger and better conditioned. You also needed a lot more experience with fighters who could push you to your limits and beyond. You have no idea how hard it was to wait until you were ready. But for me it was worth the wait. You proved to be everything I hoped for... and more. You pushed me to my limits... and almost beat me. I'm not sure what I would have done if you had." "I know you would have been the spoils I'd have taken. Karla, I've dreamt of this night for as long as I've known you. I just assumed that you weren't interested in me in that way." "Now that we've cleared the air, I think we should begin your healing. Don't worry I'll be gentle. At first." Epilogue: The wedding took place two months later. For the mail order minister who presided over the event it was the most unusual he had ever witnessed. All of the current employees were invited to attend the wedding service, which of course was held in the Arena. All were instructed to arrive one hour before the actual wedding. As they were arrived they were given a clean set of fighting attire and assigned to either one of the rings, the octagon, or a one of the temporary matted areas set up for the event. Promptly at three o'clock, Mike and his best man Jeff entered the Arena and climbed into the main event ring. After a short wait, Karla entered, followed closely by her bridesmaid Truda, to the sounds of the Wedding March. When everyone was in their proper locations, the minister began the service. As he glanced around the room, he was overwhelmed by the overall fitness and muscularity of all of the attendees, especially the bridal party. His hands were actually shaking as he read through his prepared script. All of the women had been previously told what was expected of them at the conclusion of the service; even the minister had been warned. So after their vows, after expressing their never ending love for one another, after the exchange of rings and after he proclaimed them man and wife, the minister asked the wedding party to turn towards the crowd and taking several steps backward to the edge of the ring announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, for the first time I am proud to introduce Karla and Mike Anderson." What happen next was captured by twenty-four cameras strategically placed throughout the arena. The "Royal Rumble" that took place lasted over an hour and required more than a month of editing, until the final product was made available as a super-premium addition to the website. The Healings that took place behind closed doors in the offices, locker rooms, storage room, and hot tub were not made available to the general public. Only the participants were given that authorization code. THE END As always, your comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading. Submissive Romantic - submissiveromanticone (at) gmail.com
