Let the Dominos Fall: Drake "Domino" Vyril vs Karen Gale

[Underdoggo]

The pain was unbearable. Karen could feel Domino's fingers digging relentlessly into her abdomen, gouging deep into her muscles, crushing into her belly, piercing at her flesh. Despite herself, she is screaming now, hot tears of pain welling in her eyes. Her limbs feel like they are made of jelly, and only Domino's grip on her is keeping her from collapsing. But she refuses to tap, and keeps pushing and pushing towards the ropes...

And then, against all odds, she managed to grab the top rope.

The crowd's cheers are deafening as Domino finally releases her. Without him propping her up, she topples forward, sprawling into the ropes; her breathing is sporadic and laden with pained sobs as clings to the ropes with one arm, the other cradling her hurting midsection. Her entire body is still raw with pain, and right now all she can do is hold onto the ropes after having narrowly, somehow, escaped.

Damn it all, but she had been so close to tapping back there...
