The Witching Hour

[BlackAkuma]

3:33 AM

Freia looked over at her alarm clock, blaring red through the darkness, as she laid on her bed, chest down, the covers haphazardly strewn over her bare body. The room reeked of sweat, along with other notable body fluids, and she herself was a wet mess, still breathing heavy as she bathed in the afterglow of invigorating sex. It was hardly a new sensation. Much the opposite, really, since she often had lovers at her apartment, sometimes even her own teammates. But none were as special as the woman she entertained tonight: Toshimi Minami.

After beating her in a hellish hentai match, Freia pulled along the willing Minami, leading her back to her apartment, not even bothering to change and shower along the way. She didn’t live that far from the arena, so it was a simple trek and more than worth the effort. Once they were back at her apartment, she wasted little time in giving her guest of a tour of the place, done as she pulled her from room to room with furious kisses, stripping her bare and leaving a trail of clothing in their wake.

It had all ended with Freia and Minami on her bed—her actual bed, not the spare she had down the hall for her typical flings. That was in her playroom, an area she reserved for flings, and they would’ve had fun their, for sure…but this was one of the rare times where she wanted to wake up with someone beside her, where she wanted the smell of her lover to last for days.

The next couple of hours flew by, a whirlwind of steamy passion and relentless fucking, making the most of the energy they had left from their match. The two of them would go at it for a few minutes, wrapping around each other, thrusting and grinding and slipping and sliding, until they both reached happy ends and the fatigue took hold…only for them to start up again, wordlessly coupling each time. It was endless rapture, and Freia found herself wishing she didn’t have the need to sleep, that she could’ve done it all night.

Now, though, she was finally, utterly, totally spent, and all she could do was catch her breath as she looked over at her lover, locking a similar state. She reached out and ran a hand through Minami’s hair, just enjoyin the texture on her fingers.

”Minami-san.” Freia’s voice came out as a low whisper, devoid of the lust she typically bathed it in. ”Tell me what you’re thinking.”

Minami was... exhausted. It was the only word that could come close to covering how tired and drained she was in the moment. On top of the painful and exhaustive match she had earlier in the night neither she nor Freia wasted anytime getting back to her place and going absolutely wild. Probably the most lust driven and intense that Minami herself had ever gotten with anyone before, let alone someone as depraved and all consuming as Freia Kagami.

All that being said however... Freia had to admit that she loved it. Every single second of every single point of contact between them, the kisses, the grinding, the thrusts, the orgasm... all of it was amazing. Minami had loved every single moment of it which is more than she could say about sex she had ever had with just about anyone else up until this point. Which wasn't saying a lot given how little she had of it with others but still..

Speak of the devil, Freia had asked her something after they finished what Minami hoped was their last round. Not because of lack of enjoyment, but because she felt that if they did she may very well die of bliss. Regardless Minami would look up past her disheveled dark locks at Freia's prodding and give a gentle nod to the woman.

"Mhmm its hard to think of much of anything.. after all that. But I suppose for now the direct line would be... what's next? I know I'm to join your fallen angels now but I'll be honest you'll be down a member if Maria tries to give me a order." Minami said in a low whisper herself, leaning into Freia's hand before scooting closer against her lover's body while awaiting her response.

[BlackAkuma]

Minami was beautiful. Really.

It was funny, the more Freia thought about it. It wasn’t as if she had failed to notice how the woman looked; she’d always found her attractive and sexy in her own way. You didn’t get a title like the ‘Venus of Submissions’ because you were homely. But, up until this point, she had only ever seen Minami as others had. The upright, uptight, unflappable form of a honed wrestler, like a statue carved from marble.

But here now, in the lowlights, Freia saw her as few ever would: Sweating, disheveled, withered. It was like watching a work of art come to life. She was so alive and free here, and a part of her wished she could just sit and watch like this until the sun rose. It wouldn’t have been a bad night, she was sure of that.

But she had asked a question and a pertinent one at that. Priorities.

Fries had a low chuckle at the thought of Maria - yeah, she would be pissed. The eruption would be epic, she was looking forward to it. Might even record it for posterity. ”Don’t worry about Maria. Will she kvetch? Yes. But she knows you’re more useful as an ally than an enemy. I don’t imagine she’ll be inviting you to birthday parties anytime soon, but given some time? She’ll fall in line.”

Freia said that last sentence with some authority and confidence in her words. If there was one thing her time away from the ring and as a business owner had taught her, it was how to handle people.

”That being said,” Freia moved in as well and slid her leg over Freia’s hip as she continued to caress her fine features, pulling them both in tight. ”You don’t have to join us. I don’t believe that was ever formerly stipulated in the match. I certainly want you to, but I want it to be your choice, too. And I…”

Friea’s mouth froze in mid-speech, only for her to bite down on her lip, looking off to the side as she tried to find the right words.

Minami couldn't believe it took her so long to give Freia a chance. Well she could believe it actually, given how much more.. aggressively evil Freia was when they were younger, but likewise Minami was surrounded by different people that reinforced her more stern and regimented personality. This in turn made her even less likely to so much as listen to a word Freia had to say, let alone truly appreciate the beauty of the woman, not to mention her skill in the ring.

Now though.. things were different, perspectives wise she was a bit more relaxed and Freia seemed more.. mature, wise? Minami couldn't quite place her finger on it but she really liked it. She really liked it and right now it was taking her all to not get lost in the silver wolf's eyes. Despite this though she was fully cognizant of what Freia was saying and she smiled a little at Freia's reassurance about Maria which made her chuckle a bit as well.

However what would make Minami pause would be Freia's next words. Never in a million years did she think that the woman would offer a way out to something that benefited her, especially for the sole reason of wanting Minami to maintain her choice and comfort.. it was quite nice. Feeling herself pulled into Freia even more Minami would lean forward and cut Freia off with a kiss to the lips.

Pulling away she would look right into Freia's eyes. "I don't want to join the Fallen Angels." Minami admitted, but pausing for only a moment before she continued. "I want to join you if that means the Fallen Angels than so be it.. but if they ever betray you, I'll be the one to make them suffer, I'll be there for you... support you.. Be yours." Minami said softly but resolutely, gently leaning forward and pressing her forehead against Freia's own.

[BlackAkuma]

Freia didn’t like this.

Not the situation itself, she loved that. She’d dare say that Minami was the most satisfying sexual partner she had in many a moon, and the woman was up against stiff competition. The two of them gelled well between the sheets, with the Venus of Submissions turning out to be a giving, willing partner who let her explore everywhere her fingers could reach, responding well to every touch and taste.

No, what she didn’t like was this uncertainty, this hesitation. Minami was an undeniable asset, the Fallen Angels could use her, and this ordeal was about getting her on their side. Now that she had all of that, what was the point in giving her an easy out. Why should she care? This was simple.

And yet…

Minami’s kiss worked wonders in bringing Freia back to reality, her eyes flickering in the dark. She sighed, a deep and raspy exhale, as the woman affirmed where her allegiances laid, and even answered Freia’s unspoken question. Whatever this thing was between them, it was serious. Love? She wouldn’t go that far, not yet. But it was something. A new thing. A welcome thing. Something she’d never had before, but wanted.

”Mm. Loyalty. I think I like that.” She closed her eyes and nuzzled against Minami’s forehead, as her hand idly slid down her lover’s back. ”Whatever did I do to deserve that from the Great Toshimi Minami? Was the sex that good?”

A half-joke.

[Bare]

Minami was always something of a lone wolf. Not to say she didn't work with anyone before or was even against it, her history in wrestle angels showed it, she had worked with one of the biggest faces of the brand in Mighty Yukiko despite being her biggest rival, likewise though she had worked with a rival of Freia for biggest most hated heel in the business in Beauty Ichigaya. Despite all of that though Minami almost always ended up drifting off to her lonesome self, not quite staying aligned with anyone for a extended period of time, and never having any issue with such.

Yet... right now, with Freia.. she wanted to be around her, to work with her, to see her succeed, and she was confident Freia wanted the same. Something about made Minami want to help her, more than Yukiko, or Ichigaya or anyone else Minami had ever worked with. After kissing her and snapping the silver wolf back to reality Minami would look gently into her eyes, humming softly with a small breath. Chuckling softly at Freia's half serious question though Minami would offer a light shake of her head.

"I won't lie that was part of it but..." Here Minami would gain a slightly dreamy look as she looked at Freia, gently pushing herself closer against the woman. "More than anything... you're intelligence, you're skill, you're strength... and your conviction and focus, it reminds me of.. me. I feel a closeness with you unlike anyone else from the old days. You being so... sensual just caused me to never see that." Minami said with a blush and soft sigh before kissing Freia once again. "I like you... quite a lot, and I could be asking something similar, what it is about me that drew the attention of the Silver Wolf of hentai wrestling herself." Minami said with a soft, barely perceptible grin stretching across her face as she did so.

[BlackAkuma]

Freia, despite popular belief, wasn’t all that vain and didn’t care much for flattery. Now that she owned a business, she had grown accustomed to people trying to blow smoke up her ass - employees trying to weasel their way off of shifts or asking for special treatment or making their way up the ladder for more money. If there was ever a point where she could be swayed by that sort of thing, where she cared what anyone thought of her, she was long past it, now.

But this was an exception. Minami wasn’t just anyone kissing her ass, she was Toshimi Minami. The Venus of Submissions, one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, and she was giving her props. Not dismissing her as a glorified stripper, not calling her a sex freak who couldn't win a match without an orgasm, but respecting her as a fellow wrestler.

It was refreshing. She could get used to it, she wouldn’t lie.

She happily took the kiss, then settled into the bed as Minami asked her a question. The day had really taken its toll on her, and she was looking forward to drifting off, but this was something that required a genuine answer. ”Because you deserve more, Minami.” She closed her eyes and let the words come out. They felt rehearsed, even though she’d never uttered them. ”This industry, LAW, they ‘re rying to move on from Wrestle Angels. Without us, they wouldn’t even be here, but they treat us all like second-stringers. They put newer, less-deserving talent up from, and they keep women like you, women with real talent, held down.”

She shook her head and opened her eyes to stare at Minami through half-lidded slits. ”We’re not meant to fade out, Minami. We’re going to burn. Together. We’re going to show them all what Wrestle Angels is about. And I want you to be a part of it. I need it.”

It was odd, being here, in this position with none other than Freia Kagami. On the surface they were complete and total opposites from one another, yet despite that, at this point in their lives they were drawn together, closer together in one match than some people were on multiple dates. Minami couldn't quite explain it but she wasn't at all opposed to it either, and if it meant that she joined Freia's group in order to be closer with her, than that was fine by her.

Of course all that being said, while she gave Freia an honest answer, she wanted the same from Freia. If for nothing else to see where they stood with another, and thankfully Freia wouldn't keep her waiting for long. Leaning back on the pillow she would listen closely to what Freia had to say, a small smile playing on her lips as Freia explained not only why she wanted her, as well as why she formed the fallen angels. It was more than she expected... But she appreciated it.

Leaning closer to Freia not for a kiss but instead to gently lean her forehead against Freia's. "I see. Hehe, I must say, I never expected you to be such a crusader... But I must say I do like it.. and I agree with you. I had the same thoughts in my feud with Sanae and I still do so I agree.. Lets join forces, and burn these fools to the ground, together." Minami said with a confident, love struck grin as she moved in to give Freia one more kiss.

[BlackAkuma]

It was good to get all of that off her chest. Freia had never articulated her end goal with the others, at least not that degree. They were all more or less on the same page - except for Zero, still couldn't read that one - wanting to use the group to advance themselves, but she was fairly certain SA-KI and Maria were more about personal advancement than anything, not thinking of their fellow Wrestle Angels and what they were trying to accomplish. It wasn’t a big deal, they would still go along with what she wanted and she didn’t need them to see the big picture to get things done.

But having someone on her own wavelength could only be a boon, and private moments like this, where she could speak confidently, were…pleasant. Yeah, that was the right word. Pleasant.

She hummed as Minami moved in for another kiss, one she eagerly accepted, then moved in tight to snuggle. ”’Together’. I like that.” She sighed and closed her eyes. ”Let’s get some sleep. We can invite the others over and make it official tomorrow. Can’t wait to see Maria’s reaction.”

Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too loud. She had the neighbors to think about.
