Eva eyed her opponent from across the ring. Sure, Rafe was hot, with the chiseled features of a movie star and the 6-foot-tall, perfectly toned physique of a Greek god. But she knew his type all too well- cocky, twentysomething, alpha males with more self-confidence than skill and way more muscles than brains. She had grappled with many of them in her time at the league and she had beaten them all.
From her experience egotistical males rarely deserved their elevated opinion of themselves. As a wrestler, Eva liked nothing more than to bring that opinion back down to the realm of reality. And putting this swaggering meathead in his place would be a particular pleasure. No matter the stakes.
And the stakes certainly were high. No refs. No time outs. No rules, except one- loser gets fucked. Eva considered rejecting the wager when she had first heard Rafe's terms, but it was the only way he would agree to the private afterhours match. Besides, taking a 9-inch strap-on to Rafe's arrogant ass would certainly take the guy down a peg- or pegging, in this case.
Rafe raked a hand through his glossy black hair and flashed his perfect pearly whites. "Gimme a smile, sweetheart. - No? I bet a good fucking would melt that icy expression."
Eva rolled her eyes at the less-than-subtle allusion to her unflattering epithet. When she hadn't immediately jumped on the dicks of every musclebound knuckle dragger who looked at her sideways she had been dubbed 'Eva the Ice Queen'. Which suited her just fine. After a lifetime of shutting down the unwelcomed advances of entitled pricks Eva found it was a lot easier to broadcast a distinctly bitchy vibe far and wide. Saves time.
"And I suppose you're just the man to do it." She scoffed. Not likely. Of all the areas men tended to overrate their abilities, sex seemed to be the most common.
"They don't call me 'Red Hot Rafe' for nothing."
Oh yes, Eva had heard the rumors of how Rafe earned his nickname. He hadn't been at the gym for long but already he had made a conquest out of most of the female members. If he expected to make an easy conquest out of
her
he would be sorely disappointed.
"Typical man, always thinking with your little head."
"Hey now, he's not so little. As you will find out. Soon you're going to feel every last inch." He grabbed his crotch and winked.
On that note Eva lunged for him, trying to put him in a headlock but he twisted loose. She spun on her heels and then really went for it. A strike to the chest caught him off guard and knocked all the air from his lungs. He groaned and doubled over in pain. She quickly followed up with a knee right in the stomach. Another and then another gradually brought him to his knees.
As she stood over his huddled body she let a triumphant smile curl her lips.
This will be a breeze.
But her victory celebration may have been a bit premature. When she brought her knee up for another hit Rafe intercepted her leg. He countered by tossing her backwards. She staggered toward the center of the ring but managed to stay on her feet.
In a heartbeat two strong hands seized her by the waist. Before she knew what was happening she was being lifted high in the air and then brought down hard. Her back made contact with the mat with a resounding
thwack.
She let out a strangled groan and clutched her stinging lower back. Enraged, Eva looked up from her position on the ground and shot Rafe a look that could wither a steel rod.

If looks could castrate,
Rafe thought as he took in the sight of Eva sprawled out on the mat, dark hair wild, nostrils flared, blue eyes blazing with fury. He could see why they called her 'The Ice Queen'. She had a serious case of resting bitch face and a razor-sharp tongue. Not to mention the reputation of being about as approachable as a scorpion with a switchblade.
Eva was different than the other chicks at the gym. They were easily won over by his good looks and smooth moves. Eva was the only one who refused to give him the time of day. And she wasn't even a lezzie. He had checked. No, Eva was a challenge. Rafe liked a challenge.
He had to admit that the stone-cold bitch act was hot, to a point. Then the prospect of taming the bitch became much hotter. Something about her gave him the impression that under that icy exterior there was a fiery sex kitten just begging to be fucked. Hard and rough and decisively. And yes, he
was
just the man to do it.
As they circled each other Rafe used the time to admire the way Eva's tiny black bikini hugged her supple body. She was firm in all the right places and soft in all the best placesβspecifically the regions of her round ass and large perky tits. Yet under that shapely frame she was deceptively strong. She had to be to have taken down so many larger opponents.
"I hear you've never been defeated." Rafe mentioned offhandedly.
"You heard right." Eva answered stiffly.
"Well, there's a first time for everything." He shrugged.
"I bet you've never taken it up the ass before." She countered quickly.
He cocked one eyebrow in the negative.
