Into the dragon's den (for Aeri)

[ThatPolishDude]

It was rare for Kate not to have a training plan for any given day; she was practically allergic to having a day off, and though she had already gone through her personal routine, there was only so much she could do on her own. Unfortunately for her, everyone she could reach out to for sparring was either busy or were actually taking a break for once. Kate's own attempts at that lasted about an hour; she tried to dedicate to her other hobbies, but she quickly grew restless, feeling like she was wasting the day by not squeezing it for all it was worth.

There was a solution she could turn to, however, not too far from where she lived, a bar opened up with a rather unique idea behind it, and it was quickly garnering a lot of interest. She originally intended to go there some other day, most likely dragging Alizeh along for a night out, but right now, it was the only option she had to scratch her itch, and regardless, that way she'd have scouted out the area, so it didn't take long for her to hop on over to the Dragon's Hoard.

Entering the bar, she was quickly met with one of the employees asking her what bracelet she would want for the evening and without much thought, she picked the one designating her as a fighter before she was ushered inside. The first impression of the place was rather striking, a large space with a few areas for fights to take place, be it rings or cages, with quite a crowd gathered around each. It had a certain unmistakable vibe that made Kate feel right at home despite the noise of multiple fights and cheers of the crowd.

Taking a short glance at each of the fights in progress, she would make her way to the bar, taking a seat at a newly open stool as she saw two people previously sitting side by side make their way towards one of the rings, and she'd wait for the bartender, quickly reading up the menu and checking the rules around challenging others.

Kate

[Aeri]

“Hey, cutie pie.”

An unfamiliar, but sort of rough voice lulled itself into Kate’s ears. It seemed to scratch an itch she had. The night had been a long one, and Athena usually liked to end her nights with something a little rougher and tougher to tire her out before bed.

She had found some girl, that paid up on the Golden challenge- large, giant biceps.. said girl was slung over her shoulder, as she passed Kate by.

“Sorry to keep you waiting! I was just finishing up Lila over here-“

A resounding slap hit that ass that she had on her shoulder, but she not unkindly rested her in a sofa off to the side, covered her with a blanket and kissed her temple goodnight. And then she turned, unwrapping her gloves and sliding her coat back on, not bothering to button it.

She’d give Kate her full attention, and present her with a dazzling smile, her abs on full display, and moving in close to grip her hand in her own, rubbing her thumb against Kate’s knuckles.

“So, what’ll it be, sugar? You look like a MMA gal to me, what with those lovely hands of yours.”

At first Kate wasn't sure if she was the one being addressed, but as soon as she realised that she was, a faint blush showed on her face 'Cutie pie?' she thought, fixing who she assumed to be the bartender with her gaze. She then thanked her lucky stars for how thoroughly her shyness around gorgeous women was beaten out of her; she would be a mess already if it wasn't, especially once she felt the other woman grab her hand.

"That, boxing, wrestling, not much I haven't done. Though MMA is my favourite. What's your fix, miss..." She said, returning the smile and resting her chin on the other hand, leaving the space for the red haird beauty to introduce herself.

[Aeri]

Her favourite, now that’s a question Athena wasn’t used to being asked. She cocked her head a little bit, mulling the question over.. people didn’t usually ask her what she liked. They just barrelled in, demanding to fight her in their speciality, to beat her and win the prize- or to fuck her.

Though..

she hadn’t lost yet.

She frowned for a split second. What DID she like? But then she pushed her finger forwards, lightly touching Kate’s lip with her thumb, smiling at her.

“Athena.

My fix varies, but I’m currently on the prowl for something.. that wears me out.”

She’d lightly caress Kate’s chin, leaning over and pushing her back in her chair. Athena’s teal gaze met Kate’s, boring a hole into her skull.. and deliberately, slowly, checked her out, finally resting her gaze at her abs.

She smiled.

If there was anything ever known as eye-fucking- or undressing someone with their gaze, this would be a prime example on the Wikipedia page.

Her finger curled around Kate’s choker, lightly pulling her closer, as Athena leaned in, whispering against her lips, brushing them together for the minutest of milliseconds, leaving Kate with wonder if she had even done it at all.

“Can you wear me out, Katerzyna?”

She knew her name- Athena kept tabs on whoever came to her bar, and when Kate had arrived, she had been notified of another LAW wrestler. Besides.. she was familiar with her work.

[ThatPolishDude]

She tried to be calm, to play it cool, but Athena had made it impossible in just a few moments. Every small detail of how she moved, the touch and dear god, the way she looked at her. It was unreal, her blush from just a slight rosiness to her cheeks bloomed into deep red, she stuttered, had her choker pulled and was almost kissed, all of that happening so fast she wasn't sure what just happened, she blinked and cleared her throat. 'Come on, head in the game'

"So, my reputation precedes me..." She said, grabbing Athena's hand before she fully pulled it back from her choker, kissing the knuckles and as clean as it seemed in concept, having it accompanied with the blush and the momentary confusion of a few seconds ago made a humorous scene. "I can certainly wear you out, might tuck you in while I'm at it too"

[Aeri]

”Tuck me in? Why, I can’t think of a better reward~.. normally patrons have to pay to face me, but for you..

I’ll make an exception.”

She looked at Kate kissing her knuckles, and grinned hugely- it was a wide one, bordering a smirk, watching her being clumsy about it. She thought she was cute.

Stepping out, from behind the bar, she would take off her coat and hand it over to her attendant. Next, she slid off the pants, shaking her thighs a little and massaging them, before meeting Kate’s eyes with a grin.

Without looking she caught a key thrown at her, gave it a kiss and pressed it to Kate’s lips, throwing an arm around her shoulder.

“Carry me inside, baby.

Cause we know for sure that I’ll be the one carrying you outside.”

She said playfully, lifting one of her thick thighs up for Kate to grasp, wanting her to take her to the empty mma ring!

[ThatPolishDude]

This woman was certainly a lot to take in, both visually and in terms of her actions, leaving Kate equal parts confused, intrigued and well, aroused... not just in the sportsmen-like anticipation for a competition either. Seeing the woman throw off her coat, Kate would follow suit, casting off her jacket and revealing wide shoulders and lean, muscular arms. She'd stretch her back before undoing her heavy boots as well and stood upright in time for Athena to ask to be carried.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself, i did promise to tuck you in, didn't i~" To Kate's own surprise, now that she didn't try to control the flow of the conversation, which she faild at to begin with, she found it easier to flirt, even getting a slight lilt to her voice. Either way, she would pick up the woman and make her way to the cage while carrying her; it was practically no effort anyway.

She would climb the steps and go to the centre of the mat to let Athena step off. "And even if I can't tuck you in, I doubt you'd be able to carry me out when we're done..."

[Aeri]

“.. you aren’t that heavy.”

She said, curiously wondering what she meant.. before realising Kate was alluding to leaving her beaten and bruised enough to not be able to lift her up.

She smiled at her. Athena tucked a curl of ginger hair behind her ear, before taking a step back and producing some mma gloves, wrapping them on nice and tight.

“Knockout or submission decides it. Don’t be afraid to give up, there’s nothing shameful in admitting defeat, alright?”

She said seriously- she had accidentally broken someone’s leg before, who refused to tap, and she didn’t like the idea of doing it again. Athena skipped around the ring a little, before.. shrugging a little.

“You did, but it can be another day- when you work as my personal POW for a day after another ass beating.”

Cocky, much? But the bell rang and her guard went up, scoping out Kate’s actions.

[ThatPolishDude]

Kate put on the gloves, tightening them and stretching her fingers inside them, a good enough fit for a generic glove, then she looked back at Athena. "Well, hope you'll use your own advice... though i suppose you might enjoy getting choked out by me" She said, streatching her arms across her chest one after the other showing off the tools she'd use to make good on that "threat". "POW you say? I wouldn't mind, though you might be dreeming a bit too big, I'd be the one taking your booty home"

After that final comment, the bell rang and she'd skip close, shifting her feet as if she was about to go for a low kick, presenting herself as a perfect target for a cross to the face she'd then punish by slipping to the side and slamming the uppercut under Athena's arm and straight to her chin. A good display of her boxing prowess seemed like a good way to start.

[Aeri]

She raised a palm to her chin, pressing two fingers against it with a small smile, contemplating how it would feel like to be choked by Kate.

“.. Mmh, in all honesty Katy-Kat? I would be a big fan of your arms coiling around my neck and taking my breath away.. but there’s just one issue. For that, I would have to lose.”

She’d bounce on the balls of her feet, moving from side to side, fluttering like a butterfly.. actually, no, she was moving erratically, more like a wasp- in a hexagonal pattern. Forwards, back, forwards, forwards, back.

Kate took stride in the match now, pushing herself towards the foe of hers and lashing out with a feint and a uppercut- but Athena had gone for defending before attacking with the kick, and had stances herself to block with her thigh- BUT she saw an opportunity. Ducking down to a knee, she’d push herself forwards, avoiding the strike and gripping Kate by her waist.

Athena was STRONG, enough to use the force of herself standing up to rise, haul Kate up in the air and SLAM her down, aiming to straddle her while tossing a punch directly at her jawline!

“My booty is too pricey to be bought, and too hard to defeat! I never lose!
