"We've been
friends for nearly two years now and in all that time I never knew you
could fight, darling! At least not like that - you are something else.
Where the hell did you learn? I mean that was just tremendous the way
you took all that punishment and still came through it all to win. You
must be made of something more than ordinary flesh and blood to have
kept going against that woman. Because she was tough too. I should have
thought you'd both have been unfit to go on after a couple of minutes
and I reckon it was getting on for a half hour you two were slugging it
out."
She babbled on,
"We watched a lot
of it, you know! When we were just outside the wood it sounded so
exciting, the two of you going at it with all those biffs and thuds;
the crack of fist against bone and all those gasps of pain. We just
couldn't help ourselves, Clemmy! Listening to all those lovely
hard punishing blows wasn't enough - we just had to watch them landing
on their two gorgeous but battered and bleeding female targets!
Do you mind terribly? I was so sorry when it ended; really I was and I
wouldn't have cared who won, it was such a great fight. I know
it's a horrible thing to say that I was enjoying it, when my best
friend was getting really badly hurt and her face marked for life, but
it's true. I want to see more fights now - lots more
fights! Jules is going to take me to a boxing tournament next
week - only men, though. I think I'd sooner watch women fighting -
especially you! I suppose you're feeling the effects
today! You're certainly showing them! I bet you're sore all over!
You don't have quite such big tits as me, but I bet it hurt, all the
same when she kept bashing away at them!"
Estella and
Clementine were outside the apartment, waiting for Viola to come down
to the taxi. The lovers were due at the airport in half an hour and
Stella was to meet Jules later that day. Next week, the three of them
would be back together in the boring Home Counties! Stella was not too
sorry about that. A part of her craved for boredom after the
bizarre things she had seen this last few days!
"I'm glad you saw
us in action, Estella and pleased you enjoyed watching. It would have
been a shame for Rashumba and I not to share all the excitement
with you two! . From your enthusiasm I think you have developed a
new, and rather bloodthirsty interest in life! I'm even happier
to think that my Viola saw it. Now she knows how much I love her - how
much I was willing to go through to get her! And I'd go through ten
times that - a hundred times - just for her."
Stella quite
believed this last protestation. Clemmy was in love alright. You only
had to look at her yesterday when she seized Viola and kissed her. Her
face had contained such joy as Estella had never conceived of.
"As for my
fighting skills, continued Clementine. "They are mostly from looking at
others fighting. I trained at a gym, but only for exercise. Apart
from some very friendly sparring, I never hit anything other than a
punch bag for real until yesterday until I graduated to hitting
Rashumba!! I did do a lot of stomach firming exercises, or that cow
would have winded me very early on. She kept on trying - that and
breaking my legs - fat chance of that! I could see Rashumba wouldn't
last that long, as she's not built for speed and all I needed was to
keep moving around and out of trouble. Mind you, as you saw, I took a
good few hard knocks from her fists! When her blows land, they really
land! I shall feel the effects for a month!"
"Well, it was a
revelation to me" enthused Estella, her eyes bright with the remembered
excitement of it all. "By the way, I'm sure Rashumba has
had quite a lot of experience fighting. In fact I know she has. Viola
told me that several other rivals for her affections bit the dust in
that clearing before you triumphed yesterday. I think the local Police
must be pretty well used to battered naked lesbians turning up in that
area! "
It's a kind of
Sacred Grove isn't it?" continued Estella, as breathlessly as ever.
"That clearing in the wood? The King Must Die and all that! Let
me know if there are any more challenges - I wouldn't miss out on a
second of it and I'll bring a video camera next time so I can watch it
over and over again! We must show the pair of you around a bit -
try to drum up a few rivals and see who turns up! You could be on
the verge of a great career, Clemmy!"
"Indeed!"
Clementine looked impatiently to see what was keeping Viola but that
eager young woman was bursting out of the apartment block just as Clem
was about to go and get her. The two kissed passionately, a string of
saliva escaping from Clementine's mouth as she drew her head back.
Yuck! Estella thought longingly of Jules and good healthy STRAIGHT sex!
They did make a handsome pair, though, despite Clementine's battered
face. Viola was tall and slim and Clemmy stood tall and straight,
a few inches higher than Viola and strong, so strong. She looked
prouder today even than yesterday when she had walked with such an
arrogantly triumphant stride to claim the painfully won Viola!
But it
would be a relief to Estella when her face lost those awful bruises and
her eyes emerged from behind those swellings. And as for that
frightful cut, which Rashumba had been working on so busily right
up to the end it was bad and looked to Stella like it needed
quite a few stitches!
The next week was
one of the happiest that Clementine had ever known. Viola found herself
a job in the town's most expensive jeweller's and every night her
mistress would have a meal waiting on the table as the blonde returned.
The nights passed quickly and Clementine scaled heights of love
she had never dreamt of in all her short active and eventful life.
"Do you want to
be whipped, darling?" asked Clemmy one morning as the waking pair gazed
lovingly at each other, still exulting in having each other's beloved
faces to see immediately after waking. Clemmy stroked the hair away
from Viola's forehead and kissed it, before going down to that lovely
mouth and sweet tongue whose cunning witchcraft had so inspired her
just before the fight. She lingered there a very long time before
drawing away to hear Viola's answer.
"If you want to,
sweetheart. Whatever you want is OK with me!"
"You'll have to
ask me first, dear sweet Viola. You'll have to ask me. I'll only whip
you if you want me to and you MUST tell me when to stop. I couldn't see
you cut up like the first night I saw you. I would hate that!"
"I think you'll
have a very long wait, Clemmy my love. Maybe for ever!"
"Good! I hope
you're right!" But Clemmy was a little disappointed, against her better
nature. She had a bit of mutuality in mind!
********************** Clementine came
out of her reverie for a second. She knew that an answer was expected -
and soon. How had she been so silly . Why had she not listened to
Viola's warning? Then she went over the rest of her descent into
disaster.
**********************
Viola kissed
Clementine just over her eye where the cut was still terribly visible.
The stitches would come out in a week, but the mark would always be
there. Poor Clemmy!
"I'm sorry I got
you two to fight, darling! I should just have come away when you asked.
Will you forgive me?"
"Nothing to
forgive, darling. And you couldn't leave your old mistress without a
new mistress first beating her. You know that! Maybe one day I'll
lose you the same way. Who knows?"
"Don't say that,
Clemmie my darling. Please don't say that. I don't care if you do get
beaten. I'll still stay with you. I will!"
Clementine
laughed gently.
"Well. here in
England, women don't fight over other women. At least I hope not!"
She thought about
this conversation while Viola was away at work. Would she lose her one
day in the same way as she had won her? Would she be obliged to defend
her right to this submissive and captivating blonde with her tender
smile and sweet adorable body? After the battering she had endured,
whose effects had still not worn off, she wasn't sure she fancied five
challenges a year - which was what Rashumba had faced, by all accounts.
She doubted she was as durable as the tough African girl who had shown
no sign at all of past battles. She looked at her face in the mirror.
That eye still looked a mess and her nose would never be straight
again. Maybe when the stitches came out? Even then there would be a
scar which might never fade. Her doctor had warned her of that. And one
of her teeth was loose - a miracle she hadn't lost any! No. A life
spent defending her right to Viola against all comers was not likely to
prove beneficial to her health - and yet!
And yet, she had
never felt so alive as when she knew she must beat Rashumba to win
Viola. The fight itself had been the greatest physical ordeal she had
ever faced and she still savoured the triumph of those minutes
afterwards when she had put her bruised arms around her lovely prize,
swept her up and carried her off, in full view of the recovering
Rashumba!
She
wondered if Rashumba would track her down and demand a rematch and what
Viola would say to that. She guessed the bond between those two, even
though it was based on an unhealthy desire on Viola's part for ritual
domination, had not been wholly broken. There was a reserve about her,
as though she was already hankering for the old life of beatings and
pain.
What nonsense!
How could she want to go back to that club and be whipped bloody?
A few months of a normal life, with Clementine gradually introducing
her to normal people, would transform her.
As she was going
through this train of thought the phone rang. It was Estella.
"Hi Stella! Where
are you?"
"On the way to
see you. I've got Jules with me. Hard to concentrate on the driving
with his hot little paws all over me and a mobile in one hand! Also
James is with us. He can't wait to see you! We'll be with you in a
couple of hours. Bye for now!"
And so the
evening saw five of them around Clementine's table. On one side of
Clemmy was Viola and on the other was James. And they both obviously
adored Clemmy and resented each other. Clemmy purred her pleasure. She
wondered if James would fight Viola for her! Not quite such a silly
notion, perhaps. Viola was a tall girl and might know a few sly tricks.
But James was a gentleman. he wouldn't fight a lady and in any case,
they were going to have to share her and like it! In view of Viola's
obvious distress at having a rival on the same premises, Clementine
made very sure to shower affection on the girl in a very noticeable
fashion.
James watched
with great jealousy as the two girls shared wine from the same
glass, passing it from one mouth to another. Jules and Stella
were too busy with each other to notice. But after the meal, he and
James went for a walk down to the pub, leaving the three girls to tidy
and wash up.
Clemmy had no
idea what the two guys were talking about at the time, but later on she
came to have a fair idea. When it was too late!
"Well. When you
suggested going to that club, I doubt you thought Clemmy would take
over Viola!" said Jules laughingly. "They make a sweet couple though!"
James snorted
angrily. "I wonder what became of Rashumba after her unaccustomed
beating. I shall never forgive her for letting that bitch win!
She's supposed to be a trained fighter and she lets some bimbo from
Basingstoke who was a bloody secretary till a few weeks ago beat the
shit out of her!"
"Even secretaries
have their qualities and she's a pretty tall, strong bimbo! She had
access to a gym and the spur of wanting Viola was all it took to put
her training to good effect. She has grit, that girl and that's what
did the trick. And I'm sure she likes you! It's just that she likes
Viola as well, but that may not last. Viola might find a nice man and
marry and settle down. Then you might have a chance with
Clementine, if you still wanted her!"
"Maybe. I wonder
if she's still interested in a trip to Abhlovia? I'm off there for a
few weeks, before the weather gets too bad. I'd like to get her up
those hills for a few days - have her to myself without bloody Viola
around. All that girl was good for was being whipped and sucking
Rashumba's pussy."
"Don't take it so
hard, James. And maybe Clementine's got enough love for the two of you.
Big strong girl like her!"
"Yeah. She is
strong. Beautiful, in a butch kind of way, and strong. Screwing the
arse off her would be great. I'll ask her about Abhlovia when I get her
to myself. If I get her to myself!
"I don't think
she's butch looking!" replied Jules. "If I weren't so madly in love
with Estella, I'd fancy her myself. I'll always be glad you chose that
pair to hit on in that bar. You will be kind to Clemmy, won't you?"
There was an
uneasy note in Jules's voice.
"Sure, I'll be
kind to her. She's no Rashumba to me, but she's a great girl. I wonder
where that black bitch is. Not like her to go to ground like she has."
"Full of shame, I
should think. She's a proud woman, James and by all accounts she was
humiliated the other week. Stella was telling me how Clemmy was running
rings around her towards the end. Said that clearing looked like a
couple of sheep had been slaughtered there and the blood was mostly
Rashy's - not all, but mostly. What will you say when you see her?"
"I don't know.
Commiserate, most likely. I do feel something for her, even if she did
go off with Viola three years ago. I'd maybe think of getting back
together, after it's over with Clemmy!"
"That presupposes
that it will start with Clemmy! She looks pretty hooked on Viola to me.
Lets be getting back. The women will have finished washing up and
started on the gossip. Let's nip that in the bud!"
After a few hours
conversation, Viola, Stella and Jules went up to bed. Jules and Stella
had one room and James was due to sleep alone, knowing that Clemmy and
Viola were sharing a bed and making love. It did not please him but he
kept his temper remarkably well for a man supposed to be hopelessly in
love. Clementine and James sat on the sofa and kissed. James soon had
Clemmy on the floor and naked. Then, just as the two were about to
copulate, Viola appeared and took Clementine upstairs with her without
even a backward glance at the astounded James.
"Thanks for
rescuing me, Viola. I think James is far too forward."
"You like him a
lot though!" Viola pouted. "He'd have shot his load into you and you'd
have loved it if I hadn't happened along!
"Not as much as I
like you, sweetie. I'm here for you and only you as long as you want
me. But there is one thing. James asked me to go to this fantastic
place with him and go climbing in the mountains. I've simply got to go.
It's been in my mind ever since he first asked me. You can come too, if
you like."
"No thanks. James
can have you to himself and when you get back, he doesn't come near you
ever again!"
"Fine, Viola!
That's just fine! When I get back in three weeks, I shall
devote the rest of my life to making you happy. Now let's get to sleep,
shall we? Unless you've anything else in mind!"
Viola definitely
did have plenty else in mind! Both girls overslept after they finally
did drop off, as did Jules and Estella. James was first up the next
day. One of the advantages of enforced celibacy is that a bed is mostly
just for sleeping in!
=========
"Well, Clemmy?
Are you coming to Abhlovia with me to climb the mountains? My trip's
partly business, but I'll be done in a week. Why don’t you join me and
we can do some serious climbing? Viola can come too."
"I'll come, James
and Viola can stay here and look after the place for me. You'll be OK
darling, won't you?"
Viola nodded
glumly. She clearly couldn't wait for Clementine to return.
"OK, my love."
Clementine kissed Viola and went out to say farewell to James, Stella
and Jules. James was off to the airport and Estella and her lover were
off to watch a few fights. Estella had definitely been turned on by
watching Clemmy and Rashumba. On the card tonight was one women's
bout and Estella was beside herself with excitement. She explained that
the women would be decently clothed and padded with breast protectors
and this seemed to disappoint her a bit.
"I don't suppose
I'll ever see another fight like the one you two had the other
week, but I've seen quite a few since then; well - two or three - and
there was some blood. Not as much as you two shed, though! That was
awesome - I still can't quite believe it happened! Have a lovely time
with James. Don't stick with Viola for ever, honey! James is a great
guy and little Vi will find a nice man and settle down. Don't let James
get away, now!"
"Viola is hardly
little, Stell! And she took a good few whippings from Rashumba and was
able to walk away from them! Don't be fooled by her submissiveness; she
could be quite an opponent to anyone who crossed her!"
Clementine waved
farewell to the three guests and went back inside to make arrangements
for her trip in a week's time. She had a hard job comforting Viola over
the next few days. The poor girl was sure that the trip was a bad idea.
"I knew Jules and
James before I met you, Clem darling. James got us the spot at the
club. He knew we were a bit of a kinky couple and thought we might as
well make a few bucks out of our perversions. I don't know for sure,
but I'm pretty sure he and Rashumba go back a long way. She's six years
older than me, you know and James is nearly thirty. I think they were
lovers once, although I don't know - just intuition. Don't get involved
with him, darling. Jules is sweet, but James is deep and there's a lot
nobody knows about him and his dealings. But if you do go, please be
careful and come home as soon as you smell even a hint of trouble.
That's bad news, Abhlovia!"
"I don't like
what I've heard about it, but I won't break any of their laws, Vi
darling! And I won't be in the capital, but in the back of beyond up in
the mountains. And in three weeks we'll be together again and together
for keeps!"
"You really do
mean that?"
"Of course,
Golly, I didn't get myself beaten to a pulp and marked for life just
for a summer fling, honey. You're for ever - believe me!"
"I do hope you'll
be alright, my darling! Be sure and phone me when you arrive and every
day if you can."
"I will. I think
my mobile will work from there, although the mountains may be out of
range. Sorry to leave you, but I just have to do this. Try to
understand - it's the challenge. I love challenges. And I've made a
will, darling. I've left everything to you!"
