Lupe leaned against the glass, her breasts and belly heaving, her eyes closed. It was nearly a minute before she opened them again, and she looked around the hall almost as if she didn’t know where she was. She cupped her bitten breast, wincing as she did.
Gwen stirred. She rolled from her side to her back, her battered tits jutting up and out.
Lupe looked up to the catwalk. The watchers looked down. She locked eyes with one man.
“Your belt,” she said.
He nodded, unbuckled it, dropped it to her. She looped it through its buckle and slid the noose over Gwen’s head and pulled it tight around her throat. Gwen’s eyes fluttered open.
“Kitty’s got a leash now,” Lupe said to her, and stood. She wrapped the leather strap around her fist and lifted. Gwen’s shoulders and chest came off the floor, her breasts lolling out, her head tilted back. Her short auburn hair just dragged. She made a coughing, choking sound, not unlike the tigers.
Lupe dragged her down the hall. Then back. The tigers followed them on their sides of the glass. Gwen was limp, her arms and legs unresponsive. Her face was blotched nearly as red as her hair, her lips slightly blue despite her lipstick. Lupe looked up again.
“Do you like my pet?” she called to the onlookers. A few laughed. “I’ve declawed her,” Lupe said. She looked down at Gwen. “Defanged her. Fucking destroyed her. She’s nothing now. Is that enough?”
“No,” the man without a belt said. Lupe smiled.
“Fucking right it’s not,” she said. She shook the leash. Gwen’s hair whipped. Her tits swayed back and forth. “Get up, kitty,” Lupe said. “You may be finished. I’m not. Not until you’re dead.”
Hand over hand, she pulled up on the belt. Gwen came up to her knees, then shakily to her feet. Her breathing was ragged, and shallow, through her mouth. Lupe held the belt close to Gwen’s throat, tilting her head back, and moved into her, body to body, pressing her to the glass. She licked her face, tasting her tears and the blood on her bitten lip. She searched the redhead’s half-open eyes. She wanted to drink in her defeat, bathe in her dulled submission. “Can you hear me, bitch?” she purred.
Gwen’s fist plunged into Lupe’s guts. Her strength was much reduced, but the Latina was totally, arrogantly, unprepared. It hurt her. She lost her grip on the belt, and that gave Gwen the room to return the headbutt she’d taken before. She smashed Lupe’s nose. Lupe staggered back two steps and fell on her ass. Gwen worked her fingers under the belt at her throat, ripped it off. With more luck than skill, she whipped it into Lupe’s face, buckle out. The metal crunched into the brunette’s cheekbone, gashed it open. Lupe flopped sideways, stunned. Gwen fell to her knees. She was badly weakened but the damage she’d just done to Lupe shot a spurt of adrenaline into her bloodstream.
“I’m not finished either,” she gasped. She lashed the belt across Lupe’s tits, ripping an agonized scream from her foe, then threw it aside. She wanted to do this with her bare hands. Lupe was dazed, her dark hair across her face. Gwen simply punched through it. She spoiled what was left of Lupe’s beauty, pounding her face to pulp. Blood spattered on the glass. The tiger - Lupe’s tiger - futilely licked the other side.
He waited, for as long as he could, out of curiosity as to whether Gwen would stop on her own. Even though she could barely lift her arms now, she didn’t. Not even after it was clear to everyone that Lupe was unconscious. He nodded, and two men entered the hall. The tigers roared. They pulled Gwen away. She struggled briefly, but surrendered to a second faint herself as the took her down the hall. Two more came for Lupe.
The belt had been nice, he thought. Whips would be better; like lion tamers A month to heal, that should be enough. He had two lionesses as well.
