https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?topic=78153.180 I manage to make into my office and look around to see that there's no one other than my administrative assistant, Janelle, around before slamming the door and blurting out "Fucking Lily Graham... the fucking bitch..."
The 50ish year old auburn haired woman's eyebrow goes up to form a peak over her blue eyes. "She's still doing everything she can to gum up the gears of justice, eh?" She quips.
"I know the court system is 'adversarial', but.... fuck..." My voice trailing off searching in vain for the proper words to describe my aggravation.
"What's her deal, anyway? She's been causing you headaches for a good six months now." My admin says.
"Who the fu... I mean, who the hell knows?" I say, starting to compose myself. "Mike must not be giving her enough cock." I chuckle at my own statement.
"Sounds like she needs to be dicked down or beat down." A smiling Janelle interjects. She always goes right to fighting or fucking. Which is one of the reasons I hired her in the first place. After all, any woman that would wear a Catpin to a job interview is gutsy enough to get my attention. Though, Janelle prefers to mix the two. As I found out when her interview took the predictable turn. She continues, "Which reminds me, this came for you while you were out."
She hands me an overly ornate envelope that can only be one thing- an invite from The Valkyrie. My mood instantly changes and I completely forget about Lily Graham and her nonsense. "This is exactly what I needed!" I say, smiling for the first time since I kissed my kids and husband before heading off to my job as the country district attorney this morning. "Shall we retire to my office and see what whose ass I'll be kicking?"
Janelle and I make our way to my desk and open the envelope.
"Dear Priestess, I am pleased to offer you another opportunity to fight at the Valkyrie's Palace. I have deemed you and your opponent to be apparent equals and will be excited to learn which of you is the better woman. As usual, I have included a small bio of pertinent information on your opponent to assist in your decision. Of course, she has received a similar one with your information. You have 2 days to accept or decline the offer. Hopefully, I'll see you on The Battlefield this weekend." The letter was signed "The Valkyrie".
"Look, Lettie... she's a rookie.." Janelle points out, looking at the small biography included in offer showing that this will be this Lady Lonestar's first battle at the Palace.
"I've only had two fights there myself..." I state about my record at the Palace as I study the pictures of the blonde woman in the red, white and blue mask with the Texas motif and blue bikini. "Plus... look at her eyes. My guess is that she's been in plenty of fights.... or she's an actress of some sort."
"Always a strong possibility from what you told me about that place and it wouldn't be the first for you, would it?" Janelle chirps, reminding me of my first match in the palace when I unmasked a fairly well known, if fading, actress after a brutal fight.
"She's a couple inches taller, five pounds lighter and we're both 39.... damn close." I say, still reviewing Lady Lonestar's bio.
"Yeah... but you have bigger and better tits!" Janelle says with a sly smile. My eyes feign outrage and she continues, "what can I say? I still have fond memories of you using them to make me submit during my interview!" We both laugh at that one.
I check my schedule. Then, accept the offer. I spend the next few days studying the pictures of my opponent and practicing against Janelle. When the night arrives, I know I'm ready.
I stand ready in my changing suite staring at my mask. The shiny emerald green covering with a gold "Aztec" style eagle on the front with red accents stares back while my husband massages my shoulders and tells me how much seeing me fight turns him on. I look my nude body over in the mirror as his powerful hands methodically and diligently caress my muscles- along with paying some attention to my fun parts. "You are absolutely stunning, mi amor.... my Priestess." Francisco whispers into my ear.
Originally, that's how I got into fighting. Coming from a well to do family and knowing I was destined to live a very public life as an attorney with political aspirations, I made sure to stay far away from the more primitive way of settling conflicts. As soon as Francisco introduced me to the idea and the whole Catpin culture, I knew I wanted to experience the potential highs and lows, the possibilities of conquering another woman or being humiliated by her. Deep down, I knew I was born for this. I've often wondered if all of us have this desire or just some women like me. Whatever the case, I do know that in the few short months since I've come to the Palace, all of those emotions have been turned up exponentially compared to the arranged fights or even the Catpin fights I was accustomed to.
I pull my mask on and he laces it up. For the next several minutes we stare at ourselves in the mirror. Francisco always dresses or, in this case, undresses to match me. I allow myself to soak in the image of my husband's muscular body. While the bulk of my enjoyment comes from actually fighting, I would be lying if I said I didn't get an almost equal amount from the overt sexiness of it as well. Everything from the way it effects my husband to the knowledge that I am one of the two most important women in the world to the men watching me fight.. at least, for the duration of the bout.
That is quite a turn on. I catch myself moaning as my mind wanders when my husband lips find my neck, his hands grip my tits and I feel his cock against my back. In fact, about the only thing hotter to me is when he and I take on another couple. I can only imagine how sexy it would be if the Valkyrie ever expands to couples.
"Soon... my love, but first..." My voice trails off and I force my mind back to thinking of the woman that I will be my opponent tonight. We are similar in size and age, but built differently. Her body is what I would describe as 'cute'. She has smaller, but perky breasts, she is a little leaner, but with hips and an ass. Not as big as mine but big enough to suggest that she is also a mother. Her legs look strong but not as muscular as mine- from my experience, few women our size can match me there and that's why I haven't lost many fights.
I hear a knock on the door and a few minutes later I am outside the room where my opponent and I will engage in the 'Prefight Parlay'. So far, I haven't wagered anything before the fight. I wonder if this blonde will want anything. My handler informs me that it's time. I guess I'm about to find out.
The door opens and I walk in. She matches my confident strut to the painted stripe marking the floor where we will stand during the parlay. Now, only a foot apart from my nearly nude foe, I am able to get a real feel for the woman. Sizing her up in the flesh rather than a photo. My initial impression from her photos seems spot on. Though, I think my physical size and strength advantages aren't as big as I thought. We may be more equal than I had expected but I've been on the Valkyrie's Battlefield before. That will count for something.
"Ladies... this is the Prefight Parlay... would you like to propose any stakes before the match?" One of the handlers says, but I'm already too focused on the stare down with the brown eyed blonde to notice which of the interchangeable women spoke. Even though the intensity in her eyes says she'll be tough, I just know I am going to beat her tonight and collect my third mask. I feel it in my bones.
I continue the stare down until my opponent feels compelled to speak first and break the uneasy silence. "Taking her mask is all I care about." My power play worked. It might mean nothing but I might have just intimidated her.
"All I care about is hurting you, bitch.... The mask is a nice bonus. I agree... masks only." I retort coldly, never breaking eye contact. As we stare at one another, I cannot deny that there is something about the way this Lady Lonestar carries herself that makes me feel like I have to fight her. It isn't out of hate or jealousy or for any of the other myriad of reasons I've fought other women. This is more like there is some cosmic question that is demanding a simple answer to which of us is the better woman.
Our unblinking glares are finally interrupted when the blonde's handler says "It's time, ladies... let's go... you'll settle it out there." We leave through the opposing doors that we entered through. I wait outside the curtain for my cue. Then, burst through the curtain and into the bright lights of the battlefield.
This being my third time through those curtains, I have to admit that it is still one of the biggest 'rushes' I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The knowledge that many of the most influential and powerful people in the area have their eyes and their focus glued to me. Beyond the crowd, there's the fact that once I step into that spotlight, there's no going back. I will be in a fight with an equal. We will hurt each other. One of us will be rewarded with everything that comes with a win here while the other will be punished by not only the having been defeated in the nude in front of this crowd but then to have her mask, her secret identity taken from her by a better woman.
I begin throwing punches to warm up as I walk down the white sandy path to the artificial grass of the battlefield, the bright light sparkling off of my glittering emerald green gloves. I assume the same could be said for my green and gold mask, though I can't see it. My eyes are fixed on blonde bouncing down her path to meet me. I don't even check the few stats scrolling beneath her picture on the large screens of the arena. I don't need to. My trial prep is finished. It. Is. Time.
When Lady Lonestar and I reach our marks on the Battlefield, the Valkyrie, dressed in her bright, shimmering white and gold bodysuit and ornate mask, descends from her throne to introduce my rival and I.
She walks around the blonde and I, extolling our virtues as fighters while deftly compelling the wealthy patrons to place their bets on which of us they believe will be proved to be superior tonight.
The powerful, in every sense of the word, heiress finishes, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have until I get back to my throne to lock in your bets... it should be a hell of a fight.... Priestess.... Lady Lonestar.... get ready to battle.." The Valkyrie says as she turns to leave the battlefield.
Time seems to stand still while she makes her way back to her throne and I stare into the brown eyes of the woman in front of me. Neither of us say a word. The time for any games or bullshit has passed. We are seconds away from combat. It's all that's left.
The gong sounds and everything else disappears. Lady Lonestar steps laterally, not expecting the pure, raw aggression I unleash with a shriek as I charge her.
My bronze skinned body collides with hers, my momentum driving her backwards and down to the ground. Taking her to the turf, I furiously try to pin the lighter skinned woman on her back and crawl up her body for a mount, but she is able to trap one of my legs.
Lady Lonestar and I strain against each other for a few moments, our bodies in line. The roar of the crowd predictably building when the see our bare pussies lock and grinding together for the first time.
Try as I might, I can't free my leg and quickly transition to my next attack. I dig my finely manicured nails into the blonde's right tit. She lets out a rewarding, yet bloodcurdling, scream as I twist and knead the vulnerable flesh of the woman's smaller breasts. I'm on her now and begin slamming my knuckles into her ribs and flanks. This bitch is mine.
I can feel the pinned woman's nails digging into the skin of my hand, trying frantically to remove my claws from her chest. During our struggle, she is able to get her foot in position to deliver a stiff kick into my lower stomach. I land on my ass with a thud on the artificial grass.
In a flash, both of us are back on our feet. I allow a self satisfied smirk to cross my lips when I see the sweaty blonde massaging her mauled tit.
Rage flashes in her brown eyes. "Bitch... you'll fucking... pay for that!" Lady Lonestar snarls, venom dripping from every word.
"You sure have a big mouth.... for a woman that is ... getting her ass kicked!" I snap back before aggressively charging the woman again, trying to maintain my advantage and keep the pressure on my opponent.
A hard body blow stops me in my tracks. Dammit, that hurt. The blonde packs a punch, I'll give her that but she can't follow up with another. We stare at one another for fraction of a second before we launch ourselves at one another. Naked bodies colliding in a twisted symphony of shrieks and groans as we dig our talons into each other's skin and yank the other woman's ponytail.
Initially, we plod around the battlefield but as our standing catball becomes more violent and desperate, we twirl and swing around the fake grass. The instinctive and primitive fight to hurt and gain control of the other woman by any means necessary has the crowd roaring now, drowning out the sounds of our bodies slamming into one another, the whimpers and the groans from our fight.
Soon we forget about the hair pulling and only focus on clawing, slapping and punching our adversary. Our shrieking curses are the only thing louder than the crowd at this point. "Fucking... blonde whore... Your mask is mine!" I wail as I fight harder and more furiously than I ever have. stinging Lady Lonestar's ribs and flanks with slaps and punches with one hand while still managing to keep my talons latched on her breast.
"Fuck you! ... filthy brown haired... twat!" Lonestar barks moments before I feel one of her hands clamp around my throat. Nanoseconds later, my eyes widen as her other hand digs into my bare, unprotected pussy. I hear myself let out an otherworldly scream as the pain sears through my nether regions.
Off balance from the savage bitch's assault on my womanhood, we tumble to the turf, talons still latched on the other woman. Lady Lonestar lands on top but as soon as we hit, I buck and twist wildly sending us back into a catball.
Back and forth we go across the fake grass. Our minds have gone feral now. I only exist to hurt this woman, to defeat her, to conquer her. From the wild look in her eyes, I can tell the white woman is in the same state.
Tooth and nail, I battle the blonde. We scream obscenities at each other as we scratch, bite and claw our way on top of the other woman only to have our positions reverse. The scenario repeats over and over. We are both exhausted and hurting and every pin seems like it might be the one that finishes the woman on bottom, but we neither of us is willing to sacrifice our mask and pride to end our suffering and somehow we both keep finding a way to escape.
Our catball begins to slow and stall. With our stamina and resilience withering, our attacks start to focus on each other's tits. I can hear the blonde's whimpers and wails in my ears, along with my own to my dismay, as we ferociously try to use our fingernails to destroy the other woman's assets.
I am on top of this relentless masked cxnt tearing away at her titflesh, looking into her tear filled brown eyes hoping this will be it when I feel her talons clamp around my neck. Fuck this flat chested blonde. She will not win.
Immediately, I retaliate my hands throttling her windpipe. I'm on top and bear down with all of my weight. Her eyes are bulging now, but I can feel her nails dig deeper into my neck. This bitch just won't quit. She begins bucking wildly and desperately sending me toppling from my mount and onto my side.
Lying on our sides, our eyes are locked in a hate filled death gaze with our hands locked around the other woman's throat, squeezing as hard as we can. I can feel the tunnel vision creeping in as my oxygen is depleted. Then, I feel Lady Lonestar's knuckles smash into my ribs. With her grip lessened, I can breathe slightly easier but the bitch's brutal barrage of body shots is punishing me. I begin to fire back in kind. Both of us are exhausted and in pain. Our punches are slow and deliberate. We are both close to breaking.
Desperate to put this scrawny scrapper away, I start attempting to climb back on top. She is doing the same. We scratch, claw and punch one another as we each climb up the other woman until we are standing again. Though we are only standing because we are clinging to each other.
Hanging on to each other with one hand, we continue to bury knuckles into our rival with the other. Locked in this battle with the blonde I can feel every ragged breath she takes, hear her every pained groan. She is fading. Her punches still hurt but I am starting to land two or three of my own strikes for every single one she lands. I am gaining control, bullying the blonde woman around the artificial turf of the battlefield. She can't take much more, but truthfully, neither can I.
Then she does something I don't expect. She grunts, pushing off of me, before I can react, it feels like a sledge hammer slams into my jaw. Everything is in slow motion and it feels like my body has disconnected from my brain. I am aware of myself falling backwards but can't do anything about it.
I land on my back and my eyes are fluttering as I cling to consciousness. The bright lights of the battlefield seem like they are spinning above me. I have no idea where Lady Lonestar is. I try to will my body to move. To continue the fight but all I can muster is a few feeble movements of my fingers. I am helpless, lying on my back barely able to breathe, but as the blonde isn't on top of me, she must be hurt just as badly.
For the first time since the fight began, I am aware of the crowd again. I can hear them yelling frantically. I can make out individual voices trying to will the blonde or me to get back in the fight and finish our rival. I begin to try and focus. I slowly shake my head trying to fight through the brain fog induced by the blonde's devastating haymaker. My body is starting to respond. I begin to writhe slowly as I start to regain some of my motor skills but before I can do anything else, I feel Lady Lonestar's body sliding on top of mine.
Summoning everything I have left, I try to stop her but my strength is gone. Soon she is lying on top of me, our sweat covered bodies in a chest to chest pin. Next I feel her leg slip over my belly. Oh fuck, she has me mounted now. My body isn't responding and she seems to be getting stronger. Our hands are palm to palm and she pins mine above my head then I feel her pin my biceps beneath her knees. My eyes can finally focus clearly again and all I can see is the blonde sitting atop of me in a schoolgirl pin. My body gives out and I flatten completely beneath her. I've been defeated.
My eyes dart back and forth only to see the woman's thighs on either side of my face. I try to squirm but I am trapped. I feel the nearly trimmed blonde landing strip above my adversary's pussy pressing roughly against my chin. She glares down at me. "Priestess.... do... you... surrender?"
One last time, I try to will my body to continue the fight, but I seem only to deflate beneath the blonde. I have nothing left. I can feel my eyes welling up. "I... surrender.... to you.... Lady Lonestar..." I gasp out.
I close my eyes when I hear the gong sound and the crowd begin to roar. I feel the air rush back into my lungs as the blonde rises to her feet. I hear sobbing and become aware that I am bawling now. My chest rising and falling erratically trying to figure out how to cry and gulp in air at the same time. Instinctively, I cover my eyes with my arm trying to shield myself in some way from the embarrassment of having been conquered like this. The blonde in the Texas mask has broken me.
I become aware of her presence. I can feel her looming over me. My body shudders, wondering what she will do to me next. She, almost gently, uses her foot to nudge my arm away from my face. I am completely compliant now. Not that I could stop her anyway. I let my arm fall to the turf and stare blankly into the bright lights above me. I can feel all of the pain and stiffness settling into my body as the last of my adrenaline ebbs away.
In my peripheral vision, I see her staring down at me as she stands over me. I don't see any remnants of the ferocity In the two brown eyes behind her mask. For all of the savagery and nastiness of our fight, she knows it's over and seems content with her victory.
Even so, I know what comes next. Lady Lonestar and The Priestess went to war with each other. We fought. We hurt one another. There were no excuses. We gave each other everything we had... and then a little more. She conquered me and now she is taking her public reward. She deserves it. She plants her foot between my tits and raising her arms when The Valkyrie announces "Your winner.... Lady... Lonestar!"
I can hear the crowd rewarding my opponent. It hurts. This is the first time I've ever lost a public fight- even if no one knows who I am beneath my mask. I can feel the impending fear of that inescapable moment weighing heavily. I am sobbing again and I struggle to maintain any measure of composure as I am lead off of the battlefield by the victor with a leash. I wonder if this is what it felt like to lose in the coliseum? I might not be about to lose my life but in a few minutes The Priestess will have her anonymity stripped away. Then it will just be me... naked... on my knees in front of the woman who defeated me.
As soon as we are outside the view of the crowd, I collapse to my knees. Exhausted. Humiliated. Defeated. I can't go any further.
A couple of tugs on the leash connected to my mask and a stern look from the blonde convinces me otherwise. I crawl the rest of the way into the room where I first locked eyes with Lady Lonestar. This is where it will happen. I will have my mask taken. This woman will see my face. Will she know who I am? Will she show herself to me? Do we know each other?
There'e a million things running through my head right now as I kneel, head hanging, eyes staring at the victorious woman's feet. I feel the blonde woman's hand grip my chin. She lifts it up and forces my eyes to meet hers. "Priestess.... reveal yourself to me." She commands firmly, yet gently. I can tell this woman is a mother. That tone is something gained through experience of having to discipline a child that you love. Her voice and eyes convey a respect gained from the ferocity of our battle as our gaze remains locked.
Shit. That makes this even worse. She fought tooth and nail with The Priestess. Unfortunately for me, that is who she respects. As soon as my mask comes off she will not longer see that warrior, she will only see me, Leticia Montez... District Attorney.... kneeling... naked... eyes red from crying... conquered.... and worst of all, helpless.
I'm not ready for this. I'm not ready for a stranger to know who The Priestess is. I'm an attorney- a damn good one. I feel my eyes dart back and forth as my mind races to find some way to persuade this woman to let me keep my anonymity.
"Look... Lonestar, maybe we can work something out. My husband is in the other room... pretty average dick but he knows how to use it and can eat pussy better than even the women I've been with... " I blurt out. Oh God. Did I just offer my husband to this woman... and admit that I've experimented with woman. What the fuck am I doing? I have to run for office again in a few years. This woman could wreck my real life as badly as she did in our fight. I can see that she isn't the least bit interested. I double down. "Please... you can make me watch." I can hear the desperation in my own voice. Maybe she is like that sadistic redhead that enjoyed hurting me like that.
"I appreciate the offer, but, I already have a man". Lady Lonestar replies still unmoved.
Fuck it. I'm all in at this point. "Maybe you and him would want to have your way with me.. mask staying on obviously." I'm fighting back the urge to ugly cry and beg, but I know that I'm already on the verge of causing this woman to lose all of that respect that I saw in her eyes moments ago.
"Listen... Priestess... I'm gonna level with you.... this is my first match here and yours will be my first mask. There's nothing you can say that will keep me from taking it. That said, I understand the importance of discretion and you have nothing to worry about." Lady Lonestar says her voice firm, steady and authoritative.
All of my objections have been overruled. My final appeal has been denied. Like in our fight. I know it's over now. Although, her words have put me more at ease. Even though she is wearing a mask, something about her makes me trust her. I don't even know her but she seems more truthful than almost anyone I've ever met. I let out a long sigh, bow my head and begin to unlace my beautiful green and gold mask for the last time. I know I'll receive another, but this was my first, my only armor as I battled nude in front of the most powerful men and women in the area and now it will belong to her. I slip the mask off of my head. Still staring at the ground, I offer it up to Lady Lonestar.
I can feel the woman's eyes looking me over. Something is telling me that she does recognize me. I finally let myself look at her. I see her hands moving towards the laces on the back of her mask. She stops and then speaks. "I think we're finished here." Then she turns and starts to walk away.
No..no... no... NO! She can't just leave. I feel like I have just beared my entire soul to this woman and that was after we clashed naked, our bodies tearing one another. I need to know who she is. "Wait!.... Lonestsar... Don't you want to show me who you are... who defeated me?" I appeal to her pride.
The blonde stops for a moment then walks back to me. There's a softness in her eyes as she looks into mine again and speaks again. "I'm nobody.... nobody you'd recognize anyway.... why do you care?"
"Look at the label in my mask..." I plead. I know from my previous fight at the Palace that each mask has the name of the alter ego of the woman who wore it and a number. "Do you see that number one?... that means it's my first mask... you're the first woman to take it.... and, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to see the face of the woman who broke me. Wouldn't you want to know?"
I can see the blonde's brown eyes weighing my proposal. "You're right.... I'd want to know..." Lady Lonestar answers as she begins to loosen her mask. She removes it and gives her blonde hair a shake. She is a pretty woman, her face seems like it would normally be on smiling and happy woman rather than a tough, fierce fighter. And she is correct, I do not recognize her at all. I have no idea who she is, other than the woman who defeated me in the Valkyrie's Palace.
She can tell that I don't know who she is. She continues. "I know who you are Mrs. Montez... my name is Kelli... Kelli Rose.... no one you would have heard of."
"But, a name I won't forget.... Thank you." I say taking Kelli's hand as she offers to help up to my feet. Standing with my hand still squeezing hers, I finish. "Maybe The Valkyrie will see fit to give me a chance to even the score one day."
The soreness has already overtaken my body and I struggle, limping towards the door. It takes an eternity but I finally make it to my dressing suite. When I open the door Francisco envelopes me into his thick chest. He holds me as I cry it out for a while. He helps me get cleaned up and does his best to make me forget about the pain and humiliation from my loss to the blonde. It helps but I still feel it.
On the way home, I think about the fight and my future. I remember what I said to the woman after she told me her name. I think about what I would do differently in a rematch with Lady Lonestar on the battlefield. The more I ponder the possibility, the more I think that I don't really want another fight with Lady Lonestar. No, I think the story of The Priestess versus Lady Lonestar has been written. The next time I want it to be Kelli Rose versus Leticia Montez. That chapter has yet to be written.
