Never Too Late (for Bare)

[Pegasus]

Cody felt himself lingering in the corner and he figured this was his best play. Drasna had him where she wanted and she was going to shoot for the stars on this move. Drasna ran for a stinger corner splash and jumped to collide with Cody making him grunt, but Cody threw his large arms around the waist. The two locked eyes and Cody felt himself stalling unintentionally looking in her eyes. He blushed hard holding her so intimately like this as he shook his head turning around to throw Drasna behind him with a overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex!

Now that Cody was in a vulnerable state right in the corner Drasna was intent on capitalizing on her advantage, breaking out into a run and slamming into him with a stinger splash! Or at least she thought it was successful before she felt those large, muscular arms of Cody's wrap around her waist! Blushing slightly at this and looking down at her sparring partner Drasna admittedly couldn't help but admit that this felt kinda nice... or at least certainly better than getting thrown over the man and into the mat with a belly to belly suplex! "Agh!" Drasna cried out in pain as she bounced off the mat and held her back in pain!

Cody’s wrestled many women before whether he was feuding to teach them a lesson or just out of competitiveness to see who the better sex was and Drasna felt different. It’s a cliche romantic movie trope, but she felt motherly and wholesome, but also graceful and serious. This was her domain as much as it was Cody’s and they were proving to be on equal footing. One could say Cody was starting to grow fond of Drasna rather quickly, but he saved his attraction talk for after the spar. Cody completed his Suplex and then quickly went to pick Drasna up getting her head under his left shoulder before he threw her free arm over the head trying for the natural Vertical Suplex to keep up his variations!

Drasna despite being in pain from the belly to belly suplex was still very much impressed by the fact that Cody was able to do something like this to her, leaving her laid out and stunned in pain. It was quite impressive, he was quite impressive in general, in his ring style, his strength and physique... Honestly if she wasn't in such a competitive mood right now she'd be tempted to end things to have some fun with him, but right now that wasn't an option as she was suddenly hefted up and lifted upside before getting slammed down in a vertical suplex! "AGHHHH!" Drasna cried out in pain, sitting up in the aftermath of the blow and holding her back in pain!

Cody shoved her down back on the mat and placed his massive hands on her shoulders. He looked at her a bit up closer and took in her beauty. Even at older age herself, she definitely kept it serious in keeping herself in great shape. Cody kept a firm grip on her wrists and kept her pinned down for the meantime. Cody addressed her with a bit of a smirk.

“I’m guessing we are both making our points. We aren’t exactly people that this younger generation wants to be pushing around. I’ve wrestled women like yourself before that were strictly competitive, but….they haven’t been able to match me par for par like you before. As of right now, you’ve got my respect,” Cody explained, but it’s clear that he left himself wide open for Drasna to kick off if she so pleased.

Feeling herself shoved back down to the mat accompanied by a weight dropping onto her chest Drasna would look up, breathing a bit heavily before smiling softly at the man as he spoke, smiling softly as he said he respected her... But as happy as that made her feel for some reason she would still buck her hips up while bringing her legs up to kick Cody off her before moving to swap positions outright, so that he was the one on his back with Drasna straddling him and holding him down. Only there would be a bit of a shift as she placed her hands on his chest and leaned down so their faces were inches apart.

"I appreciate the sentiment, likewise its rare I can find a man that won't hold back against me, let alone be so willing to admit what you just did.. you have my respect as well." She said before sitting up, holding her hand up as she did so to signal him not to engage further as she got up to her feet and held her hand out to him. "That being said.. I think that's a good stopping point no? Though I'd quite like to keep talking... maybe over some dinner?" Drasna suggest with a warm tone as she waited to see if he'd take her hand.

Cody nodded calling a stalemate as he accepted his sparring partner’s hand being helped up to his feet. Drasna definitely likes having the last word in these things and that made Cody feel a little turned on, but he cleared his throat to hold back those desires for a much more appropriate setting. Drasna suggested dinner and Cody nodded as he thought over where to eat.

“There’s a good Italian place around the corner, but they would much prefer us dress a little more nicer. Very strict policy they have as I’ve come to understand. Why don’t we both head to our places, dress a bit more formally, and meet up in say half an hour?” Cody offered with a smile.

Managing to turn things around on her sparring partner Drasna felt the two were at a good stopping point as she got up and held her hand out to the man, inviting him up to his feet with her which he accepted. Pulling Cody to his feet Drasna would smile as she made his offer and be even more happy as he accepted but suggested them meeting up at the restaurant refreshed and in nicer attire.

"That sounds lovely to me." She said, before leaning up and giving Cody a chaste kiss on the cheek before turning around and starting to walk away before turning to look over her shoulder. "Its a date." She added as an after thought before starting to walk out of the ring with an extra sway to her hips in the process.

25 minutes later is when Cody showed up outside the Italian Restaurant that he talked about and he came wearing one of his best suits. He knew the workers here and was a frequent regular on weekends so he could ensure him and Drasna got good seating. There was a little hiccup in his own doing as he didn’t get Drasna’s phone number to give her details on the food place. He only said it was around the corner from the gym so that was unfortunately all Drasna had to go off of. He’ll get the number after their first date tonight so he just waited around until he saw her coming in.

Drasna smiled and hummed softly as she walked down the side walk towards the Italian restaurant. Thankfully it really wasn't that far from the gym and with their not exactly being a lot of similar places nearby it wasn't too difficult to find, though she wished she had gotten Cody's number for the exact address. But that would be something she could rectify. After all the man had just came into view and he was looking rather dapper.

Though Drasna herself was rather fashionable herself, wearing a lot blue dress that showed off her shoulders and chest a fair amount while still being fairly classy for a woman her age. "Ciao Cody, hope I didn't keep you waiting." Drasna said with a smile, standing with her arms crossed behind her back, very knowingly posing for him in her dress as she waited for his response.
