Eventually, I was returned to Carolyn.
During my absence, Carolyn had located the wrestling coach. The coach was named Nikol. She was my height and had an athletic look about her, with broad shoulders, strong hands and impressive muscle tone. And she was wearing tights, while I was naked, except for my slave collar.
"Another lesbian," Nikol commented as she grabbed my slave collar and pulled me forward, bringing us dangerously close together.
The slave collars were distinct colors depending on a slave's sexual orientation. Straight slaves were given white collars. Bisexual slaves were given gray slave collars and gay slaves like me were given black slave collars. Nikol knew that I was a lesbian the moment she saw me because of the collar secured around my throat.
"There are approximately one hundred female slaves registered for wrestling in this city, and there isn't a straight girl in the mix anywhere. Why do you suppose that is?"
As she asked the question, Nikol ran her hands up and down my body, feeling the firmness of my calves, my thighs, my glutes and my abdomen. It felt weird to be felt up this way. It wasn't sexual or erotic. It was more like evaluating the muscle tone of a racing horse before you bought it from a horse trader.
"I um, suppose that straight women would find it awkward to get groped by another woman, mistress," I said hesitantly. "I mean, wrestling involves a lot of grappling and grabbing your opponent, um, by the legs or the..."
Suddenly, Nikol clamped one hand over my mouth. She gave me a sharp look.
"It was a rhetorical question, slave girl," she snapped. "I already have an excellent idea why straight women don't want to roll around naked on the wrestling mat with other women!"
After I was silenced, Nikol went back to examining my naked body. She complimented me on the impressive firmness of my glutes, and just as I felt she was starting to like me, she asked me about my previous wrestling experience.
"I don't have any, Mistress."
My voice was tremulous. I had been whipped with a riding crop earlier that day and the more she grabbed and squeezed my sore buttock, the more she renewed the pain of that whipping.
"Another novice!" Nikol exclaimed loudly. "I've got nine wrestlers on my team, and Brooke is the only one with any wrestling experience, and she hasn't wrestled since high school! What did I ever do to deserve this?"
I wisely bit my tongue and remained silent. I rightly assumed this was another one of those rhetorical questions.
"So, the American team has no chance?" Carolyn asked.
Nikol pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger and took a few moments to get ahold of herself before answering.
"Not necessarily," she replied. "I was talking to the wrestling coach for the Norwegian team. She says her wrestlers are also woefully inexperienced. She thinks it might be the same for the British and the Ukrainians and everybody else."
"Okay, so amateurs vs. amateurs, that shouldn't be so bad, right?"
Nikol remained unconvinced. Apparently, she took wrestling seriously, and she felt that sending a bunch of inexperienced girls out onto the wrestling mat to grapple with each other cheapened the sport.
"I think that slave contracts are traditionally approved due to the applicant's good looks and sex appeal," Carolyn commented. "I don't think they usually ask about athletic ability."
"This whole thing is a farce," my wrestling coach replied. "I'll try and whip these women into shape, but none of them are going to put in an impressive performance. They ought to take the name 'Olympics' off this thing."
Carolyn and Nikol discussed the situation involving me and the other slaves that would be competing. They came to the conclusion that the attendees would be more interested in seeing the losing slaves get punished than celebrating the athletic skill of the winners.

Later that day, I was taken into a room and introduced to the other slaves on the American wrestling team. I had already met Brooke, but then I was introduced to all the others.
It was a heady experience. All these women were young, naked, and had bewitching bodies that would tempt a nun into violating her vows of chastity. Any one of them would have been enough to cause my sex to throb, but to be surrounded by seven or eight, or nine naked women of such beauty and raw, unbridled sex appeal had a cumulative effect on my libido. A wave of desire passed through me, and my nipples became embarrassingly hard in their presence.
Every single one of them was exquisite, with slender waists, taut, sculpted abs, long legs and vulvas that had been meticulously waxed or shaved, leaving every woman's plump, glistening pubic lips deliciously exposed.
There was Emma, Olivia, Scarlett, um, okay, I never learned all their names. I spent so much time mesmerized by their bodies and struggling to function while being swept away by a never-ending tidal wave of libidinous desire, I had trouble focusing on mundane details like names.
And while the never-ending display of exquisite female bodies was a potent distraction, the training sessions on the mat had a way of getting me intensely focused.
On the mat, those beautiful bodies became opponents who could grab and squeeze and hold and painfully twist your arm behind your back and slam you face down into the floor and make you helpless. I needed to focus less on their seductive beauty and more on how to defend against their physical attacks.
For example, one of the first slaves I sparred against was Brooke.
The fact that she was naked meant that the aesthetic curves of her remarkable body were sublimely on display. So, of course, I was admiring the delightful interplay of her boobs between her arms as she crawled across the wrestling mats towards me.
