Everything felt so tight down in girl valley it was acutely painful. She was inferno hot, wetter than a monsoon and steaming just about everywhere else…

As his mouth took hers again and their deep and hard kissing resumed she was teetering on the edge of reason, about to fall into the chasm of gym wall sex, right here and right now…

She had wanted to kick the living daylights out of him, but what she’d got instead was her ass whipped into complete and utter submission in two minutes flat…

This realization of this massive desire dampening fact coupled with her last shred of self respect and dignity forced her to give him a big push and she broke free, holding him away with her arm outstretched, her hand against his chest.

“
No more.
That’s enough of that,” She cast a long shaky breathy look at him. He was struggling with himself inside, she could see it in his dark deeply aroused eyes. Breathing very heavily, her heart pounding, she ran off across the gym to the door, picking up her shoes and leaving without looking back.

He watched in a mixture of confused physical and mental agony as she left. His breath still coming in short sharp gasps. His cock throbbed with a dire need. Ella turned him on like nothing else ever had. Shit and fuck… She’d just given him a massive fiery flash over that he’d never be able to forget. She was a hot little fighting demoness… with the eyes and face of an angel… He’d enjoyed all of that encounter way, way more than any invite ever… and now he knew for sure. The cold looks she’d been giving him were a fucking lie, she wanted him real bad too.

Chapter 13

Friday night was a big fight night and Ella arrived back at the Arena in a worried and unsettled mood. That session in the gym the night before had been a shocking eye opener on her susceptibility. She’d have to avoid him like the plague for a while. She obviously didn’t have any resistance to him at all, not an atom. Hopefully having all the other girls around her and Marcia on Dev guarding duty would be more than helpful. She knocked and slipped into dressing. Kim looked a little odd tonight, he gave her a strange little sheepish look as she passed by him.

“What’s up?” she asked looking around. There were not many girls in here tonight considering it was a main event. Where was everyone…? Marcia wasn’t around, but Tori and Sonia were, fully dressed in their normal clothes and standing waiting for her it seemed. Sara sat quietly at the other end engrossed in her cellphone.

“You can drop the little Miss innocent act” Tori spat at her while tossing back her long straightened black hair. “You must know.”

“I’m sorry but I don’t… know about what?” She shook her head.

Tori exhaled noisly. “Well I’ll explain it all for you shall I…. Marcia was officially dumped by Dev, on Tuesday evening after the fight. Now let me think, who started work here on Tuesday… Oh yes, that would be you. And then yesterday Sonia saw you go in the gym and now let me think again, who else was in the gym, all on his own with you? Sonia saw you both, didn’t you?” Sonia nodded.

“Oh no, you’ve got that wrong. That wasn’t what you think. I was just going to give him a piece of my mind about something.”

Tori and Sonia both laughed out loud.

“Well that’s a different way to put it, wouldn’t you agree Sonia?”

“I would… I’d call it giving him a hot piece of my ass myself” Sonia sneered at her nastily.

She ignored Sonia’s nasty sneering remark and dealt swiftly with the rising tide of embarrassment she was feeling. She’d been seen?

“Actually, he got a surprise left hook on the jaw, a half a kick and a swift knee in the groin if you must know… after that it started to get rather one sided obviously…”

“Oh really…? Do tell us more… because when Sonia looked through the gym window, he was having you up the fucking wall!”

“He did not
have me
anywhere! And what you saw was not of
my
doing… I left soon after that.” She had to admit that he did almost have her up the wall and she did have quite a lot to do with it, but she wasn’t saying it in front of these two.

“Yeah, sure,
whatever
… so what was the left hook for anyway? Girls don’t usually want a punch up with Dev, do they Sonia?”

“Nope, I’m pretty sure I’ve
never
wanted a punch up with Dev. There’s other things I like to do much more… So yeah, why?” She narrowed her grey eyes on Ella.

“For making me wear that ridiculous bikini yesterday”

“Why would Dev do that, you stupid idiot? That was Marcia!” they laughed at her and the dreadful embarrassing realisation shot through her.

“Kim! But you said…”

“I didn’t say anything Ella lovey, you assumed wrong darling. I was trying to let you know who it was subtly… because she was bloody well standing right behind me at the time… didn’t you see me trying to tell you with my eyes? The little bitch had just threatened to blackmail me for smoking a joint or ten in here, and any drugs mean instant dismissal… I’m real sorry Ella I shouldn’t have done that to you, but I just wasn’t sure if she was serious…”

“Oh no Kim…! I’m such a dumbass. I can’t believe I didn’t get it!” How on earth could she have thought it was Dev anyway? It was a ridiculous idea now that she really thought about it. She was completely obsessed with him…

At least she knew the cause of that odd smell now… Kim was a dope head.

Her mind went back to what had gone down in the gym. He must think she was completely crazy. A strange violent mad woman. And all that hot stuff that had gone down after that…? There was a lot more going on than she understood. She suddenly couldn’t stop herself laughing out loud with the absurdity and horrible embarrassment of it all.

Tori was ready to leave, standing next to the door, Sonia at her side.

“Look Ginger, I’ve got nothing against you personally. All I want to tell you is this. There’s a pecking order here girl… you’re new and right at the bottom… Stay away from Dev, even if he hits on you again, don’t go with him, let things cool right off. Marcia’s taking it really badly, I’m telling you. On top of being dumped, Tony’s told her they’re not renewing her contract, and he doesn’t want her in Dev’s ring anymore. He said it could cause friction and make him lose focus.

And guess what… She blames you for all this. You don’t want to make an enemy of Marcia, whether she works here or not, believe me you don’t, she has a real evil streak, I’ve experienced it first hand. I personally don’t think you’ve got that much to do with what’s going on between them. Dev’s always been way off with her, with everyone female in fact. It was only a matter of time before he dumped her like this, she was pushing him for something he doesn’t want to give. And don’t for a minute think
you’ll
be any different, we’ve all been there, thinking we’ll be the one he really wants. The guy’s a complete and utter OCD commitment phobe. Once he’s had you, you’ll be in the fucking queue just like the rest of us are and it’s no fun waiting for your next turn.”

“Hey don’t count me in that queue, I’ve never been done by Dev…” Sara piped up. She had been dating Mikey Garcia for the six months she had worked there and was well out of that game.

“Look, I have no intention of being in his queue Tori. But thanks for filling me in on all this, and believe me, I don’t plan getting off with him any time soon at all.” Ella replied hotly. The whole Dev business was really getting to her. She wasn’t sure of herself any more. In reality she could be in the queue faster than a meteorite coming in from outer space. In fact, wasn’t she half queued already? She was also aware for the first time of a heated rivalry that may exist between the girls where Dev was concerned.

“Yeah, right… we’ve all said that too Ella… He’s kind of divine in lots of ways and it’s hard to resist him short or long term… or ever”

Tori’s brown eyes took on a dreamy look at the thought of him… it had been way too long since her one and only invite… Marcia would never have allowed it.

“Well lucky yous” said Kim breaking into their strained and personal conversation… “I doubt if I’ll
ever
get a turn and believe me I’d wait happily in the queue for years for even one hour with him, I
so, so
would…. I would do absolutely anything for that man.” He flashed a wistful diamond studded smile at them.

All four sets of female eyes looked at him in silent amazement. He suddenly erupted with giggly laughter at revealing his rather heated fantasy out loud and they all followed suit. It certainly lightened the rather tense atmosphere.

As she was dressed her mind was deep in thought. She couldn’t be one of his groupies. It sounded like hell. Imagine going through all that pure ecstasy, feeling so totally hot with him one day and then he moved on to the next new girl the next day. She couldn’t go there. She hated this part of him. Why couldn’t he be normal and date the girls here like the other guys did? Then she would feel like she had a chance. But as things stood, it was a big NO. No matter how scorching he was at it.

She was half ignoring Kim chatting on about something to do with Angels and stuff, as her mind was most definitely elsewhere… then she was zipped into a very pale blue tight micro dress with small white letter a’s dotted on it and was given a pair of blue high heeled sandals to put on. Well this was nice… very nice indeed… in her rather preoccupied mind she wondered what it all meant.

She made her way out to the boards to look at her duty. This was a big name fight night, but only two fights in the one arena. Sometimes there could be six, in the three arenas… Soon to be four Arenas when the construction had been completed.

Rob and his wife Sheila were coming. She’d asked him to look for her, it would be better than the other way round. The spectators were a massive sea of faces, it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. She scanned her board, 4 rounds with Martinez… then 4 in Dev’s cage which was the second of the two fights tonight…

Oh no! That would mean she was on TV…

She hoped Marcia wasn’t going to be watching. It would look like she had taken her place… But then someone had to, didn’t they? It’s not like it was her decision, there were only the two of them there.

She made her way to the Martinez fight and hung around gazing up at the stands. Suddenly she spotted Rob coming down the stairs to see her. He gave her a hug and introduced his wife Sheila to her. She had never seen her at the gym in the whole 6 years she had been going.

“Rob tells me he helped you get the job here Ella.” Young looking blond and bubbly Sheila smiled widely at her.

“Yes he did. I really wasn’t keen I can tell you, but he persuaded me to have a go. I’m so grateful to Rob.”

“I thought she’d really enjoy it Sheila, with the sport and that… being a kickboxer at heart, it’s a buzz being here. Are you feeling it yet Ella?”

“Oh boy… am I feeling it Rob! I couldn’t get over the live fighting when I first saw it. It’s nothing like it is on TV, it’s heated, primeval, powerful, poetry in motion… all those things… it gave me a real rush”

“I know! We love it, don’t we Sheila”

“We do… We most certainly do Rob.”

“Sheila’s got a little thing for Dev I’m afraid”

“Oh really…? Join the queue Sheila… it’s very, very long apparently”

“Have you met him yet?” Rob asked her curiously.

“A few times. He’s very intense, focused and strong minded as far as I can tell…” and lots of other things too she wouldn’t be mentioning to Rob and Sheila. “I’m in his ring in here later on tonight as it goes, actually I’d better be off, this first one starts in 5… I’ll see you later maybe Rob, or catch you at the gym… Enjoy it both of you… ”

“Yeah we will, see you later Ella” Rob and Sheila said goodbye and returned to their seats.

She made her way to the ringside where Lucy was standing. This was unusual, she didn’t normally stand in the TV viewing area…

“There you are Ella, did Kim explain about the new Angel outfits?”

“He said something about Angels… what it was I couldn’t tell you though”

“Well we are making some changes with the promotional staff here. We are going to talk to you properly about it later as there’s a lot to go into, but for now Ella, just concentrate on this. You are now our new figurehead. Marcia Dean isn’t employed by us any more, her contract is up in two week’s time and we’ve let her go early. She’s almost her own brand these days so she can go and work anywhere she likes, she’ll have lots of offers for sure as she was voted top ring girl this year.

Anyway we’re officially relaunching what we feel is the rather tacky image of the ring girls as the new Arena Angels tonight. Tony and I have been wanting to do something different for a long time and it all fell into place suddenly. We are creating a new brand, professionally themed, so that you are all easily recognizable, dressed in these hot, sweet and sexy angel dresses.

You inspired this Ella. What d’you think of that?”

“I inspired it? But how?” Ella was just blown away. She’d only worked there a week… how could she have inspired anything at all?

“You just shine Ella. Everyone says it. You talk to people nicely… you’ve got presence, you have one of the best walks I’ve ever seen in the ring. You’re just as pretty as they come girl. Anyway, we’ll talk about it tomorrow afternoon. Come in at 5 to see us okay? This will be such a great move for you, you’ll see”

Ella walked off in an angelic cloud of disbelief. Her, an inspirational figurehead? It couldn’t be real, could it?

She made it through Martinez’s stunning victory in a heavenly haze. She did her walk and stood where she was told to stand by Lucy when the TV cameras zoomed in on her and massively muscular heavyweight Emilio, cheek to cheek. They would be using some of this footage for stills as well, for promotional posters and digital adverts. There would be more opportunities for photo shoots later with all the girls being involved, but tonight, it was mainly just her.

Sara caught her arm in between fights. She looked lovely in her new blue angel outfit, a sweet little blue powder puff with her pure blond long bob.

“Well you fell right on your feet, didn’t you? Lucy was just explaining it all to me.” she said smiling. There wasn’t even a touch of envy about her. She was so genuinely nice. Ella gave her a quick hug in appreciation.
