==============
The 8th floor rooftop basked in the glow from a half moon and flickering neon signs. Natasha Irinov watched from a vantagepoint in the shadows, silently stretching a limber body clad in her usual "combat" gear - usual, that is, for the last 50 years. A thin black bodysuit hugged every curve; the millimeter of spandex simply emphasized the perfect anatomy. She had no qualms about using her incredible beauty as yet another weapon. Early in life, she'd found that male opponents were easily distracted by her body, so she dressed appropriately, choosing the most revealing yet unencumbering clothes of the time.
Natasha was a tall woman, a conspicuous trait a few centuries ago, less so in modern times. Her body was an amalgamation of understated strength and breathtaking sexuality. Strong sinewy legs flowed into prominent shapely buttocks. A washboard stomach, like all immortals unblemished by childbearing, made her large firm breasts even more pronounced. And of course, there were those arresting black eyes surrounded by luxurious raven hair, bound together in a ponytail. Her full lips and small delicate nose conveyed both debauchery and purity at once.
During swordplay, her breasts swayed, constrained only by the spandex, mesmerizing male and female opponents alike. Natasha simply exuded sex. And it had allowed her to stay alive through a dozen trials, when other immortals, mostly evil men, came to seek her head.
Today, Natasha would finish a contest started over 150 years ago with the destruction of Andre Mansarrat, the embodiment of evil on earth.
It was in France that she first encountered Andre. An aristocrat and notorious playboy, the "Bear of Sauvignon" did what he wanted, took what he desired. Despite stories of the abduction and sexual torture of beautiful young women, local authorities failed to act.
Natasha didn't care whether their inaction was due to laziness or bribery. She was never one to retreat from evil and finally met Andre at a ball. To her astonishment, she sensed Andre was an immortal and quickly challenged him to a duel.
Poor Andre never knew how pathetic his skills were next to Natasha's centuries of dueling experience. After just two minutes of swordplay, she nearly severed his head with a swipe from her rapier. Stumbling back, Andre dropped his foil, put one hand on his neck, and withdrew a small pouch with the other hand. Before Natasha could finish the job, a thick cloud of smoke erupted between them. When the smoke cleared, Andre had vanished.
Natasha searched his estate and known haunts, but he had escaped and apparently fled France entirely. She still remembered her shock on discovering the private torture chamber in Andre's chateau. Four women were in the stone room, naked, chained, and violated by grotesque devices. Others had been sent to new owners after being broken by the evil aristocrat.
Natasha remembered all of it. And she would enjoy taking his head. On cue, the door to the rooftop opened and a tall burly man in a trench coat crept into view. He was big, heavier than she remembered from her time in France.
"Do you plan on running away again, coward?" She shouted while stepping from the shadows of the chimney.
Andre Mansarrat turned and slowly backed away from the door towards the opposite side of the roof. She saw a wool scarf barely covering a long scar across his neck. A twisted smile formed across his hideous face.
"I've waited a long time to pay you back for this." He pointed to the scar while withdrawing an intimidating saber.
She moved towards him, the steady rapier pointing at his heart. "I hope then that you've practiced."
Andre kept moving backwards while Natasha advanced, scrutinizing his every move for an opening. Soon he was at the edge of the roof.
"Nice outfit, Natasha. I'm going to enjoy peeling it from your body before I take you." He brought his saber forward with both hands.
Natasha froze, puzzled by his comment. Andre knew this duel would end in destruction for one of them. She then heard the sound behind and realized what the bastard meant.
Before she could turn, Natasha felt all her muscles seize. She screamed and fell, writhing on the cement rooftop. Through the pain, she could barely see another man with an object in his hand. It was a taser. Gritting her teeth, she moved a hand down and found the electrodes embedded in her thigh. With superhuman resolve, she ripped the leads away, throwing them towards the attacker that had come from the rooftop door. It required a Herculian effort to simply breathe as the paralysis faded.
"Pretty good, bitch," murmured Andre.
Natasha turned to see Andre above just as the hilt of his saber smashed into the side of her head. An explosion of light joined the pain from a boot against her ribs. Then there was only darkness.
Andre looked down at the unconscious immortal and became aware of a growing erection. Natasha lay sprawled on the rooftop, an impressive bust stretching the black bodysuit. A nasty gash, already healing, marred the side of her lovelyface.
A century of planning was paying off. At their first duel, he'd been immature, unaccustomed to combat but still very driven by his carnal desires. Then came Natasha, the sexiest woman he had ever glimpsed and an immortal as well. The thought of having that curvaceous body to torment for centuries drove him mad with lust - the perfect outlet for his evil cravings. These thoughts had cost him a vicious scar, but now he would have payback.
"Bring her to the special room," said Andre to the henchman. "I've waited a long, long time for this."
