The Longest Day [Asp, Naga & Others]

[thesteedman]

"I assumed without my assistance you would fail. Kayla Mizrahi, our lead Maid, has made it her project to try and fashion the duo into a unit, so they are not without some semblance skill given the time she has spent on them. One on one, it was simple enough to wager your victory against either, but to face both at the same time, I thought you would struggle, given your last experience with Anna and Tia." Naga spoke in a calm tone. It was probably the longest sentence Asp had ever heard from Naga in truth, who had already formed the impression of being a woman of few words. It was clear from the manner in which she spoke with her alluring accent that there was not just a brute of a mind within the muscle. Though in truth Asp was already aware of that notion given her interactions with the powerhouse wrestler.

Ella helped Asp down from the ring, as Naga soon followed, hopping down, once more revealing how much of a tower of a woman she was in comparison to Asp and even the made Ella. She was by no means the tallest in the LAW, but her shoulders were broad, her arms lined with muscle and power, her core almost the visage of a marble statue and probably near as hard. From the small leap, the fringe of her hair draped down over her eyes somewhat, given a certain appeal to the heavyweight as she looked to Asp briefly.
"As for your latter question... No." Naga spoke plainly, before she began to walk away without so much as another word. Ella cleared her throat to try and get Asp's attention, all too aware that the beautiful red head was now under her watch again for the time being.
"If you would please follow me Miss El-Shenawy. I will return you to your quarters, and if it pleases you I can help you prepare for Dinner with Miss Dominique Renauld." Ella would speak in an elegant manner.

There was a tone to her voice though, one of excitement creeping through, suggesting that Ella had no doubt witnessed the fight between Asp and the Maids, wanting to spill her thoughts upon it. No doubt with Naga still in ear shot, she could do no such thing however, and motioned for Asp to follow her back through the area in which they came. One thing Asp did note however, was that Ella had a little cheeky smile upon her features, watching as Tia and Anna were carried out of sight. The Maids present within the personalised gym and training grounds began to get back to work or training, though there seemed to be no sign of Kayla who had been present previously.

[BlackAkuma]

It was oddly cordial to speak with her captor in such a way, but Asp would concede that she didn’t altogether hate it. She had made little note of it the first time they met, far too taken aback by the experience to register such things, but now, with a calm moment to reflect, she could say that there was a calm, sensual tone to the woman. It wasn’t simply her French accent, either, though that certainly didn’t hurt. Her words carried a dark mystique, and everything that came out of her mouth seemed to churn with a daunting power.

As interesting as the tone was, the substance was even more intriguing. In truth, taking them both on hadn't been an act of bravery, but something that just came from her raw anger, so thirsty to pay them back for what they’d done that she spared little time to think of the feasibility of it all. If she’d lost and been crushed by the pair, Naga would’ve simply watched - perhaps she would’ve even lost interest in her, seeing some of the bloom come off her treasured rose. It only occurred to her now that taking actions like that, ones that would impress her captor, wouldn’t exactly put a damper on her fiery infatuation.

It was a consideration for another time, which she would happily explore later, perhaps over dinner. As strange as it was, she was oddly looking forward to the meal, even knowing well what would happen after.

She followed after Ella, staying close behind as the maid led her through the sprawling mansion, knowing she could easily get lost in it. There was a sprawling way about the place, almost serpentine, and she doubted that it was an accident. ”You needn’t refer to me so formally, by the way.” She spoke up again while moving beside Ella, only staying a step behind. ”I know my name is a mouthful. ‘Asp’ will suffice.”

[thesteedman]

"'Asp' it is then." Ella responded, taking a little time to turn and face Aspasia and nod whilst the two were traversing the labyrinth of corridors. Asp felt like she had a decent feel for the estates Mansion when she first arrived some time ago before this present visit, but since being taken to the personal gym and training facility of the Renaulds, she realised that the property was vaster than she could have imagined. It was too large for two sisters to live in alone, and it was hard to imagine every room had a function with so many doors. However, they seemed to possess a small army of Maids, with nary a minute passing before such a staff member became present in some fashion, busy with some task. It was a wonder if the Maid's gathered at the start of the day to be set with jobs, or if they knew what they were doing. It was also a thought to consider if the Renauld's had a Maid for every purpose such as maintenance and even electronics. Those tending to the mansion seemed to be more clothed than some Asp had witnessed closer to the living quarters. One thing was absolute, there had yet to be a sight of a Maid that was not beautiful in some way or form.

"If you do not mind me saying Asp. I really enjoyed your display of skill and strength in the ring against Tia and Anna. Watching you take on both of Kayla's pets and managing to win without Naga's help will be the quiet talk of our Maids for some time to come. I dare say, do not take offence, but I thought what you were doing was foolish at first, but then I saw what you could do in the ring. The way you moved, the way you dominated them both! Wrestlers from the LAW really are on another level. They must have really got the jump on you in your match, I can't see how they ever managed to best you beyond cheap attacks." Ella whispered, unable to contain the joyous tone as she spoke. She made certain to mention the event only when other Maids were not present.
"In recent times, Tia and Anna have been getting special privileges because they are Kayla's pets. It is nice to see them get knocked down a peg or two. I imagine they will be getting punished tonight." Ella continued a little, leading Asp through another corridor, always making sure to open a door and use her form to prop it open for the Egyptian beauty before following and taking lead.

Ella paused when she witnessed the designated guest room for Asp being tended to by a few Maids, making her frown a little. She looked towards Asp.
"There seems to have been a mistake. Your room should have been done by now. I apologise for the inconvenience but... you do not mind waiting in the room we just passed by now do you? I will gather the dresses and clothes Dominique had selected for you and I will bring them to you for selection. All the facilities you will need will be in the room." Ella motioned, looking a little nervous as if something was not supposed to be amiss. It was clear all operations run like clockwork within this mansion, and Ella was keen to sort out what looked like a minor error... but an error all the same. When Asp would come to open the door to the fresh room... matters would begin to make sense.

"Hello Aspasia El-Shenawy. Our paths cross once again." A familiar seductive and alluring French accent purred. Asp would enter to see the sight of the Baroness, clad in little more than revealing underwear, sat cross legged upon a bed. Behind her, was the familiar presence of Kayla Mizrahi, standing too attention in a revealing Maid's outfit, stationed not far from the Baroness herself. The room had something of a low light ambience, with some candles and incense lit to give calming aurora. Running a hand through her own silver and silk like hair, the Baroness stood and walked with elegance towards Asp, donning a dark yet beautiful smile, whilst her perfect form and legs glistened with light oils.
"I hope my sister is treating you well. It shames me that you must go through all of this at her behest. I am sure you have a little time to converse with me if it pleases you? I do have some other guests on the way in a moment, but they will not mind your company." The Baroness spoke in a calm and collected manner, caring little of her revealing appearance.

[BlackAkuma]

Asp stayed close to Ella as they walked, taking care to not get lost in the sprawling mansion - though, given the reason she was here, she supposed that would be the worst thing that could happen to her. Not that she would have trouble finding someone who could give her directions if she did, with how many maids were ever-present. The mansion almost felt less like an abode and more like a miniature city, with women constantly moving about, busying themselves with tasks, moving in units, and doing singular tasks. Everyone had a purpose, everyone had a focus, and countless routines, all running like clockwork. It was all so alien for a woman used to living outdoors and having the dirt beneath her bare feet. She was a stranger in a strange land.

Ella’s words helped focus her, however, and she couldn't help but smile at the tiny maid’s budding excitement. There was youthful, charming exuberance to her. ”I am happy my distress could provide you some entertainment.” She chided the maid, though her tone made clear she was being playful. ”It was a foolish decision, honestly, and it could’ve easily gone poorly. Tia and Anna aren’t weak, but they had exploitable weaknesses I could center on. With more training, I doubt I’d be able to do that again.”

Something she said did catch her attention, though—more specifically, the name, ‘Kayla’. If she had to guess, that was the rather bulky-looking one with the glasses, who seemed to resent her the moment she made eye contact. Asp felt there was more to that, but before she could enquire, they came to an impasse. While she was unsure what the problem was with the room, she acquiesed to Ella’s request and moved over to the fresh room, where none other than the Baroness was waiting.

And Kayla. Hm.

She kept her focus on the elder Renauld sister for the moment, drinking in magnificent form. She had no qualms in showing it off, nor should she, her body was an exquisite work of art, tone and strong with two flawless legs. ”Thank you, my friend.” She smiled, nodded, then walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, willingly putting herself in a position that so many in LAW had fought to avoid. ”She is, actually. The exhibition match was surprising but not an unwelcome surprise. Venting that anger did me well.”

She caught a quick glare from Kayla, but only a flash, before the woman straightened back up and stood at attention. Perhaps it was her imagination, but there was a military air about this woman, reminding her of soldiers she'd occasionally danced for in her travels. Asp made a note to address her in a moment, but there were other questions she wished to ask, first. ”Dominique has yet to put her hands on me, oddly enough. We're to have dinner next. She is an…" Asp closed her eyes and searched for the right word. "...intriguing woman, your sister. You both are. And I have to say, this mansion impresses me more now than in my last visit, seeing it without the snowstorm to slow things down. It’s all impressive, but I don’t believe I’ve ever asked - where does all this wealth come from? Surely, not just from wrestling.”

[thesteedman]

"What is this I hear? Anger? I was unaware such a word existed within your vocabulary." Baroness spoke in a bemused fashion, crossing her legs after coming to join Asp upon the edge of the alarmingly soft bed. As always, Stephanie Renauld was a wonder of a woman to behold, a marvel with a perfectly framed and well trained form. She listened with seemingly keen interest as Asp described that she was able to vent her frustrations by taking on both Anna and Tia, clearly taken off guard that Asp could even express such a thing as anger.
"I am sorry I missed it. Word travels swiftly within the walls of my abode given all the eyes and ears we have... I hear you turned down Dominique's offer of partnership in this exhibition of yours. I can imagine that will have displeased her. Though to see you standing here unscathed can only mean that performed exceedingly well, and that perhaps you impressed my sister." The Baroness would go on, leaning back a little as she gazed over Asp, taking in her equal beauty, clad in little more than a Belly Dancer like outfit that left little to the imagination given how much of her flawless skin was on show.

The Baroness listened further as Asp described what events were waiting for her, though the Baroness was already aware of the dinner her sister had planned for her.
"My sister has our Maids working tirelessly today. That is not like her, she was never one to utilise their services beyond letting her whims get the better of her... A dinner within our grounds is second to none... though I would not hope for nor expect a banquet given what she has in preparation for you." The Baroness added, becoming real with Asp as it was obvious what Naga had in store for the forced guest of the Renauld estate.
”Hmm. Our name comes from a long line connected directly to French Royalty… when it was the establishment. France abolished the Royal Family and all its connections in the 1800’s, but House Renauld has always remained connected and established. We possess several empire back home, institutions that has existed long before I was born, all possessing business ventures that affords us this estate and its luxuries. I do not desire to bore you too much with details, because it bores me when I speak about it.” The Baroness confessed, hinting that her wealth came from outside sources, but indicating little of her actual involvement.

She sat up next to Asp, looking at her with a more serious expression as she placed a hand delicately on her shoulder.
"It is not too late for me to intervene if you so desire. I know you are a woman of honour, but given your disposition and the unfortunate circumstances of your arrival, I can deal with my sister and offer you protection during the rest of your duration within our grounds. Dominique will be cross with me for a time to be sure, but she will learn to forgive her older sister. I can make certain of that." The Baroness addressed, something of a dark look befalling her eyes. It was clear that Stephanie was not afraid of her larger and seemingly more powerful sister… which held quite the implication.

[BlackAkuma]

Asp laughed hollowly at the Baroness’ jab, nodding along with the tease about her anger. It was a fair assessment—though the two had only known each other for a little while, she had never come off as a woman prone to fits of rage, trying to present poise and control at all times. Revenge was something she rarely indulged in, had never needed to partake of. ”You jest, but you are not far from the truth of things. Perhaps that anger has always been there - this is the first time I’ve ever been pushed in such a way, after all. I led a life of quiet peace before coming to LAW and trying my hand as a wrestler. Before your sister, I had never even been in a fight for anything other than recreation.”

Discovering such aspects of her personality, things she didn’t know about herself, made for a disquieting notion. However, she shelved the topic for the moment, as Stephanie gave her the answer she was looking for and recounted some of her family’s history. So much of it was over her head, of course, with Asp being a simple woman leading a simple life, but she found it fascinating, nonetheless. Hearing her ties to the royal family was interesting, and she was curious to know how tied they were to the events of the French Revolution, a period of history that she loved reading about.

It was a subject that Stephanie seemed to have little interest in elaborating on, though, if she knew much of it all, so Asp resigned herself to let it rest, something she could study later. For now, the topic moved to more pertinent matters, such as her captivity and what could be done about it. The Baroness once again offered her an out, as she had done earlier, and the gesture was well-meant and appreciated. Asp did not doubt that she would make good on her promise and keep her safe through the night. She had always dealt fairly with her, shown herself to be honest. But…

”Thank you, my friend.” She reached over and placed a soft hand on Stephanie’s thigh, giving it a soft rub to reassure her and feel the steely muscles. ”I will see this through, though. Aside from keeping my word, there are words I wish to have with your sister and a germ of a plan. Trust me, this is the best way.”

Something that Stephanie said at the end piqued her curiosity, talking about the relationship she and her sister had. As an only child, it was not something that Asp could relate to, and it left her curious. ”You said before that your sister is superior to you in some way, inferior in others - in what ways?” She looked up and down the Baroness’ body, before coming back to her face. ”Could she ever defeat you?”

”Nonsense.” Asp jumped and swung her head back to Kayla when the woman spoke up, cutting through the air with her sharp reply. Another menacing glare directed her way, before the maid resumed her posture and stoic demeanor. ”I apologize, Baroness.”

[thesteedman]

The Baroness tilted her head and leaned back a little, clearly somewhat disappointed that Asp was going to honour the engagement despite her offering a way out for the second time. Asp was too honourable for her own good, a notion that did not fully escape the Baroness. Despite all her misgivings, none could deny that the Baroness was not without a small semblance of honour herself. Though capable of great treachery and needlessly bending and altering rules to her own whims, her word remained her law. It was a small code that rested amongst all her misdemeanours that the Baroness always honoured an agreement made by herself. Yet given she offered Asp salvation, it seemed she was not beyond breaking the code of others.
"I suppose I was expecting that answer, but it still saddens me to hear it. I will respect your wishes and not involve myself." Stephanie would speak with a unique allure to her French accent. The notion of her words made it clear that it had been Asp's last chance to find solace in Stephanie... there would be no more offers. The Baroness just hoped as the night went on that Asp did not regret it.

The Baroness managed a dark smile when Kayla was quick to interject, seemingly insulted by the question Asp offered. Kayla was quick to leash herself long before the Baroness turned her head slightly. She did not bother to look at Kayla, all too aware by now that she could read the expression from the back of her head. The Baroness let the air hang heavy for a few more seconds, her brow somewhat furrowed, allowing Kayla to stew in a little despair for a moment longer. Her head Maid was loyal to a fault, and whilst the Baroness desired that the most about her right hand woman, there were times like this when she spoke out of turn. Her passion was absolute, and the feelings Kayla possessed for the older Renauld sibling was not lost on the French Tyrant. Without acknowledging her outburst, the Baroness soon turned to Asp once more, her legs coming to shift and cross as she placed her hand upon Asp's as it rested upon her thigh.
"Naga is physically superior to me as I imagine you have already wagered. Not only is she stronger, but she is swifter and quicker too despite her height and broad build. She is intelligent as she is cunning and possesses a killer instinct I could never match. She trains much more than I do and constantly works to improve herself." The Baroness confessed, managing a small smile, all too aware of what expression must have graced Kayla's features by now.

"She has yet to defeat me." The Baroness added, her tone holding an unusual edge. It was hard to pinpoint the emotion, as it sounded like arrogance at first, yet it did not hold a boastful nature. She let the comment hang for a moment, taking in Asp's beauty as she let her hand trace over Asp's own bare leg in a delicate fashion, making certain that Kayla saw every motion from behind her.
"I know my sister all too well, how her mind works, what she thinks long before she can fabricate it. Could she ever defeat me? Of course she can. As good as I am, the Baroness is not indestructible. It will not happen for some time though, that I can assure you. I am always in her head." The Baroness spoke with a soft smile. A quiet knock on the door gained the silver haired marvel's attention, before a Maid unfamiliar entered the room before being prompted. She was a tall but slender woman, possessing blonde hair and a full Maid's outfit. She bowed before Asp and the Baroness and even Kayla before she motioned for two others to enter.

Much to Asp's surprise, Anna and Tia entered, clad in little more than two piece black outfits akin to their usual Maid colours. They looked freshened up post their exhibition with Asp, but no amount of washing or scrubbing could take the exhausted look upon their eyes.
"Ahh. There are the two Maids of the hour. I am sure you are well acquainted with Aspasia by now.?" The Baroness spoke with a mocking glee, watching as the original Maid excused herself and left, leaving Anna and Tia standing. Both stood to attention, hands clasped behind the small of their back. They bowed to the Baroness and kept their position.
"Yes Mistress Renauld." The pair spoke in unison.
"Do you have anything to say to our honoured guest before we begin your penance?" The Baroness spoke, her tone suddenly somewhat darker as a wicked smile began to form in her eyes.
"Please forgive us Miss El-Shenawy!" Anna and Tia spoke in unison once again. By now Asp had noted that the two scantily clad women had been slightly oiled up, giving their flawless skin an appealing glisten that enhanced their beauty.

The Baroness turned to Asp, tilting her head slightly as she gave her thigh a reassuring squeeze.
"Hmm. Do you think that sounded sincere enough... Miss El-Shenawy?" The Baroness whispered, looking to see what Asp thought now that her old assailants stood, their backs virtually up against the wall with a firing squad before them in the form of Baroness and Kayla...

[BlackAkuma]

Asp thought herself a decent judge of character, able to read body language with ease - being a belly dancer practically required that, after all. But even she found herself at a loss as to what was happening. Instead of chastising Kayla for speaking out of turn, the Baroness put on a simple smile, as if remembering a joke she had no intention of sharing. Her hand came up to Asp’s leg and began to stroke, a touch that the Water Serpent did not attempt to deny her. The two of them had already grown quite intimate in their first meeting, and she had come to welcome Stephanie’s soft touch, knowing there was no harm in letting her indulge. But the timing of it was curious, and as Asp looked to Kayla from the side of her eyes, she could see the woman was doing her level best to look at anything else in the room.

Curious, she put those thoughts aside as the Baroness assessed her sister, speaking highly of her abilities. Asp could use many words to describe this woman, but humble would never be one of them - she had a high opinion of herself, and with a body like hers, it was well-earned. Even so, she had no qualms with putting her sister on a level above, citing her as the physical superior. , something that took Asp by surprise.

With that knowledge, it was a little surprising to learn that Naga had never bested her older sister, but then, if what Stephanie said was true, she knew her too well to ever lose. It made Asp curious to see how a match between them would go, what they would employ, and how the Baroness would turn her sister’s tendencies against her. She was tempted to ask for tips, but she doubted that whatever tactics she employed would ever work for her. Some things were innate. Some things could simply not be taught. The bond between sisters was one of those things.

Asp was driven out of her musings when others entered the room. To her great surprise, she found herself facing Anna and Tia once again. They were different from the last time she saw them, however. They were cleaner, for one thing, with more skin showing and glittering with oils. They were also far more contrite, though she suspected their mistress’ presence explained that.

Asp couldn't say for sure, but she recalled Ella’s words from earlier, about how the Baroness would draw her maids in for private time, and she could hazard a guess as to what was about to unfold. Kayla moved to her side and looked them over with folded arms and a stern expression, looking for all the world like a lioness about to pounce on her prey, giving further pay to her suspicions.

She looked back as the Baroness squeezed her thigh and asked her question. While she doubted it would matter one way or another, she had a slight notion that she should show them some small amount of mercy, that her words could lessen what was about to befall the maids. But, then again, it was important that these two fully understand that she was not a woman to be pushed around, that any thoughts of vengeance were quashed.

”To my ears…no.” She pat Stephanie on the back of her hand, then stood up and moved to the side of the room, giving the Baroness and Kayla ample space to ‘work’. She sat on a swivel chair by a desk, crossed her legs and leaned back, calm and collected, as if she were about to watch a gentle rain from a porch.

[thesteedman]

The reaction upon Tia and Anna's faces was very subtle when Asp responded to the Baroness' question, a slight twinge in Anna's powerful form, and a small and very brief twitch of an eyebrow for Tia. Yet for Aspasia, though the reaction was small, the duo might as well have been bawling their eyes out as she could feel the despair within both Maids from where she was stationed. Asp was very much tuned into the situation, even if she had offered forgiveness, there was no doubt that the Baroness would have spun the situation into her own favour. Punishment was all but absolute, with the result of Asp's response always resulting in the same outcome. So why shouldn't Asp get one last little jab in against her assailants? Make it appear as if she was the further reason that their fate would be sealed by Stephanie and Kayla.
"Well... There it is." The Baroness teased, taking a note of Asp as she rose from the bed and shifted with confidence and elegance towards a large cushioned chair in the corner. The Baroness smiled, motioning with a gesture towards Tia to come closer to her. Tia had the look of a deer standing at the encroaching headlights, but she dared not pause for more than another second, fearing the Baroness' further wrath should she test what little patience she possessed.

"Anna. Kayla will take care of you for now, but do not fret. I will get to you in time. We have a long evening ahead of us." Stephanie instructed, her voice oddly smooth yet just as alluring. She took Tia by the hand, guiding her to sit upon the bed with her for a moment, looking over her form. The slender pale beauty had certainly come leaps and bounds, her midriff beginning to tighten from the long and hard hours of training with the relentless Kayla. The Baroness ran a hand over her bare stomach, as Tia took a sharp breath. It was clear that Tia knew what was coming, no doubt this not being the first time she had shared an experience with the Baroness. It was difficult not to feel a little sorry for her, yet at the same time, this was something she had brought upon herself, and she and Anna had possessed a chance to avoid this fate but succumbed to Asp's superior wrestling skills despite having greater number.

"When your time is done with my sister, you are welcome to stay for a day or so. I will see to it that you are well provided for and looked after should there be any ailments." The Baroness would speak. Her eyes were on Tia, yet Asp could feel the attention was still upon herself, even as Baroness guided Tia to slip further onto the bed as she slowly began to shift in a near hypnotic and sensual manner. The motions of the Baroness were as slick and smooth as a well-choreographed dance, her movements practiced no doubt over a thousand times. She slid upon Tia's hips, her dangerous legs coming to curve and slide around her waist before she guided Tia to lie back whilst she mounted her and wrapped her legs around her slender form. Tia's breathing increased, as she clucthed at the bed. There was no pressure yet, but Tia was already feeling the strength of those deadly thighs whilst calves dug into her lower back.

"You are always welcome in the Renauld estate any time you desire." The Baroness added, pausing to let Tia take in the situation. The Baroness turned to look towards Asp, waiting for her response, in no rush to begin as she merely enjoyed the feel of Tia's slender waist between those infamous legs. The Baroness also spared a brief moment to gaze upon Kayla to see what hold she had selected for the broader Anna who had joined her mistress, moving slowly and nervously.

[BlackAkuma]

Asp wasn’t much into media in general, finding it to be a dull and hollow way to pass the time. She much preferred to be out in nature when she found idle moments, taking long walks, exploring the forest, and finding a cozy spot to sit and watch the sun melt into the horizon. She especially loved watching animals - one of her fondest memories was from her youth, when she had been about eight or nine years old. Her family had been in Africa at the time, which country she couldn't recall, but they had gone out on safari and come across a herd of elephants. Watching them mingle with each other, move around their natural environment, communicate in subtle ways. She could see the similarities between them and her own family, and it gave her a deepening respect for the links between mankind and the rest of the animal kingdom, a reminder that they all shared the same planet, the same source, branches in the same tree.

Japan, for all its splendor, afforded her few such chances. Though there were great forests in the country, she had yet to find the time to visit any of them and had spent most of her time in the concrete jungle, save for occasional forays to the park. And yet, here in the Baroness’ mansion of all places, a similar fascination overtook her as she watched the Baroness move on her prey and draw the quivering Tia into her grasp - her host was changing from a gracious host into a hungry animal, right before her eyes.

Seperpentine. That was the word that came to Asp’s mind, first and foremost, as she drew Tia into her grasp and slithered over her form, wrapping her legs around her body. She knew from experience how powerful those legs were, and she could tell that this was not the maid’s first time in them - there was a fear and anticipation that could only come from firsthand knowledge. Tia shivered and tensed up, straining for anticipation, her body already suffering even though there was hardly any pressure being applied.

The Baroness, of course, drank it all up, savoring every second of her suffering, drinking it like a fine wine, taking her time. Whatever faults one would give her, they couldn't say she lacked a sense of theatricality. She knew how to make the most of every moment, likely from a wealth of experiences.

Kayla, on the other hand, had no such gift. Whatever the Baroness saw in her, whatever talents she possessed, Asp felt safe in saying that subtlety was not among them.

The head moved towards Anna with long, powerful strides, storming towards her the moment her mistress gave her blessing. Though Anna was bigger than her - slightly - she came in and handled the bigger woman like a child, reaching up to grab her by the ear and tug her towards the bed, her face hardened with steaming fury. She threw Anna onto the bed with her chest down, occupying the same spot that Asp had been lounging on a moment ago, and jumped to sit on her back before her prey could even think of rising back up.

A strong, stern arm slipped around Anna’s neck from behind, Kayla rolled over to her back with the larger woman on top, her long, bare legs wrapped around her thick waist in a figure-four formation, and with that, it was over - no escape, no mercy. Kayla’s thighs surged and pressed on the stomach, forcing it to mold like putty under her embrace, while her arms closed on her neck in vicious chokehold. But she took care not to squeeze to hard, inflicting pain instead of trying to knock her out, making sure she stayed lucid enough to appreciate everything.

Anna struggled, fought, succumbed to her body’s desire for survival, but it accomplished nothing. Kayla had her, and she wasn’t going anywhere.

It all made for a stark sight, and Asp was fully aware of the privilege being granted her - she was probably one of the few, if only, women to every view the Baroness in her natural habitat during such an event, without being the one of the bed herself. While she could empathize with the maids, having been voluntarily in such a position herself, there was little point in stressing about it - even aside from her own feelings on the matter, she knew the Baroness would do them no permanent harm, certainly no worse than anything they would experience if they persisted in their wrestling training.

Asp merely sat back and watched, looking over them both with curious eyes, occasionally glancing for the door while she waited for Ella to come with her clothes. ”Thank you, Stephanie.” She crossed her legs and made herself comfortable. ”I may well take you up on that offer.”
