For Reals (for Herotica)

[CyanDimitrik]

Katsumi nods along with Tess's response, right up until she calls her a sadist. The girl stiffens in immediate response, eyes wide, only to relax again with a guilty, awkward chuckle. "Okay, listen here, you little shit," she foux-huffs at her, the breath whisking against the back of her neck. "You have to be a little tweaked to get into the ring, knowing you might get hurt. And knowing you may have to hurt the other girl. So don't even pretend you're not into it a little..."

Her arms slide further around the other girl's midsection, until she's fully wrapped around her.

Indeed, now that the two of them are away from the crowd, the cameras, the noise, the moment exists purely between the two of them. So when her forearms press a little tighter into the girl's stomach, and Katsumi's hips press tighter against her pert backside, it's not for any professional reason than than the want to do so.

"Another tip..." Her head tilts in close again, bringing her lips just to hover over the girl's ear. Each word carries a warm flick of breath, "Don't swear at your opponent so much. You're cute at Hell. The crowd loves that. Don't spoil it by tryin' to talk edgy. Leave that to bad chicks like me~..."

[Herotica]

Tess smiles at her response.

"Okay I'm a little into it, but don't hold it against me"

Tess fails to hide the shiver as Katsumi's powerful, toned arms press further into her belly, that and the feel of her body pressing into her back gives her many conflicting emotions, made all the more intense by the girl's lips hovering near her ear.

"But I like swearing, besides, how do you know I'm not a bad chick? There's more to me than just being cute, I'm not some pretty princess, they don't last long in the ring, and I plan to"

Tess isn't sure if she's managed to sell her confidence, but she hopes, she respects Katsumi far too much.

Part of the perk to holding someone tight at the midsection, particularly with bare skin contact? Shivers are easy to notice. And feeling Tess yield to a brief tremble in her frame as Katsumi settles in close gives all the right signals to continue.

"I'm not telling ya to do that cutesie J-Pop crap..," she murmurs to her. The arms tighten a little further, constricting around her stomach. "..but you're a skinny foreigner with big eyes and blonde hair. That's like..." She pauses, bringing her nose to lightly press into her cheek from over the shoulder. "..a thing here."

Her fingers shift, brushing over her ribs before adjusting her grip. The arms no longer cross one over the other; rather her right arm rests a little higher over Tess's stomach, the left arm a bit lower.

"..'fess up. Now that we're away from everyone..." She pauses again, sliding the left hand from Tess's ribs to instead run her palm along the girl's stomach in a firm, heavy press. No pretense of adding pain to it yet, but assuredly feeling over the blonde's abdomen. "Did you prefer tryin' to squeeze me? Or me squeezin' you?"

[Herotica]

As Katsumi encroaches ever further into Tess's personal space the hold becomes even more intimate, her soft hands gathering more of her in.
Her words whisper into her ear, strange to hear what sounds like a complement from someone who was crushing her not that long ago.

"I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, and as much as a I hate losing, I can't say I entirely hated you squeezing me, at least when it wasn't too hard.."

[CyanDimitrik]

"That's what I thought," Katsumi says, her voice lowering to a silky purr.

Suddenly, her arms fully wrap around Tess's stomach again, sinking in a tight squeeze. Not crushing to the same force she'd used before on her, but tight enough to feel constricting and forceful, seizing Tess's back against her. Katsumi's breasts press firmly behind the other girl's shoulders, belly-to-back, hips tight to rear.

Her head tilts in again, lower this time to blatantly nuzzle against the corner of the blonde's jaw.

"Did you prefer it when I had ya like this..?" The arms clamp a little tighter before easing slightly again. "Or when we were face to face?"

[Herotica]

Katsumi's supple skin brushing against her face, her silky voice in her ear, quite an interesting reward for her first match, even if she is being squeezed.

"Ehhmm, yeah this is good, face to face sounds a little... intense"

She answers shyly before letting out a whimper then a soft breath in as she is gently squished and released.

[CyanDimitrik]

"It would be," Katsumi considers. That's part of the thrill of it, though; crushing the other girl's body while looking her in the eye, feeling her crumple, her heartbeat, every breath straining, struggling. "I like the intensity."

"But..."

Katsumi's head tilts further, bringing her lips lower to brush along the side of her neck. At this point, she's blatantly teasing the other girl with sensuality, and making no effort to dial it back.

"..this side has some advantages too," she murmurs against her neck.

The arms squeeze in again, pressing tightly into Tess's midsection. Her hips shift, deliberately brushing against the curve of the other girl's backside; subtle, slow, but deliberate.

[Herotica]

"Maybe it's something I can work up to.. though this is plenty intense enough"

Tess shivers again, surely Katsumi knows what she's doing to her, all this teasing surely means she won't want to hurt poor little Tess?

As Katsumi's hips push against her begins almost unconsciously grinding gently against her.

"And here I was thing this was going to be painful"
