Ms. Athena
It didn't take long for Nav to recognize that Meena's first fitness pageant was unfair.
He sat in the half-empty auditorium and watched as Meena and eight other competitors tried to prove they deserved to win the Ms. Athena title. Most of the audience consisted of friends and relatives of individual contestants; they would stand and cheer loudly anytime their contestant walked on stage. Nav hadn't realized that Meena would need a cheering section, and he felt bad that her only supporters were him and Feva. They cheered as much as they could, and Meena smiled when she heard them, but it was obvious that all the other women had more fans in the audience.
All of the contestants were lovely. Nav liked fit, athletic women, and every entrant had done a good job developing muscularity. He admired their dedication as much as their achievements, but he figured out quickly that it didn't really matter. Only one outcome was possible.
Meena was going to win her very first fitness pageant.
It was easy to see why. The other contestants had families, jobs and partners that required most of their attention. A few were fitness trainers themselves, and they saw competitions as a way to promote their business. They looked good - they really did. But none of them had the advantages Meena enjoyed. Meena had the best equipment, the best VR trainers, and a robot programmed to cook the best possible diet. Feva was the best spotter and motivator Meena could have. For the other competitors, fitness competition was a hobby they pursued as best they could.
Nav saw that several of the women made an understandable mistake. When they started exercising, they liked seeing their muscles grow. They liked it so much they sometimes went too far, turning their physiques into something that was too big for fitness contests and too small for bodybuilding titles. They probably knew the judges would deduct points because they deviated so much from the ideal proportions established by the pageant organization, but they competed anyway because it was fun and it allowed them to show-off their hard work.
Meena's proportions were perfect. When Nav told her to "do her best," that drove her to come as close to perfection as possible, and she'd succeeded beautifully. It helped that her genetics were so much better than women who weren't the product of bioengineering.
It also helped that she was so beautiful in other ways. The rules stated that it didn't matter if a contestant didn't have a pretty face, or was flat-chested, or had some kind of defect that detracted from her appearance. But it did matter. The judges were human, after all, and they couldn't help but believe that all of Meena's raw beauty was somehow the result of her work in the gym. Life's not fair.
This would have been enough to throw the contest to Meena, but her dance routine was just as superior. Fully half the contestants did pole dancing because it was a practical way for them to do a performance that showcased their physique. But they had limited time to work on their routines, most of them didn't have poles at home, and they usually had limited interest in the performance aspect of the contest. They did it for the physique. Nav saw that only one contestant danced as well as Meena, and she was an exotic dancer with years of experience.
It was good that the pageant organizers knew they would attract women with limited time, money, and motivation. Their goal was to encourage more participants in fitness events, so they organized the contest in a way that guaranteed that every single entrant went home with a trophy, medal or certificate they could hang on their wall with pride. The finale featured all the women up on stage in their tiny outfits and having them pose and flex as the winners were announced. There was an award for the best abs. Legs. Chest and shoulders. Performance. When another entrant won the prize for being most photogenic, Nav knew Meena would win overall. It was overpoweringly obvious that Meena was more photogenic than any of the others. The only possible explanation was that she didn't get the photogenic award because she'd won the entire competition.
And she did. "Say hello to Ms. Athena!" the master of ceremonies announced as two big, beefy men presented Meena with a trophy taller than she was. She looked genuinely surprised, which made Nav chuckle. She was adorable. Meena hadn't figured out that she'd defeated the other women in a lopsided victory. As Ms. Athena, Meena would advance to a regional pageant that was sure to be more competitive.
Nav imagined that it would be more competitive than the contest she'd just won. It would also draw a bigger crowd. One of the reasons Nav had Meena enter the competition was that it required her to stand before an audience in the most revealing costume possible. She'd made real progress cultivating her capacity for enjoying exhibitionism, and the experience of flexing and posing for strangers gave Meena a pleasant thrill.
It also helped with her growing attraction to women. All the other contestants were beautiful and sexy in their own way, and Meena felt herself drawn to them. One particular contestant attracted Meena more than the others. Her body was covered in tattoos and she had a wild punk hairdo. Her makeup was especially dramatic. Meena wanted to start a conversation, but she knew Nav and Feva waited for her, so she just finished toweling off the oil and putting on her street clothes.
"I am so proud of you," Nav said, kissing her cheek. She beamed. Feva lifted the trophy and asked, "Is this going to fit in the car? I may have to fold the seats back." It turned out that removing one bolt allowed him to break the trophy down into two large pieces that fit in the luggage compartment easily.
They would celebrate by letting Meena have her first real meal since she started cutting fat two weeks earlier. The car drove them to the place Nav selected for lunch. It was a high-class strip club. Meena's heart pounded when they walked inside and she realized where she was. She'd never been in such a place except in virtual reality. The hostess seated them at a table near one stage, then took their drink order. Nav ordered a cocktail for Meena as a way to help her celebrate her victory. Nav decided that Meena would get tipsy and watch naked women dance, so that settled the matter in a way that let her enjoy the show as much as possible.
She did enjoy it. Meena liked seeing what amounted to a buffet of pretty girls. Nav gave her a stack of cash and had her stuff bills into the garters of the naked dancers. It was fun. And it turned her on. She'd been bred to be fully bisexual, and she was increasingly able to embrace this part of her erotic capacity. It was a work in progress.
Nav ordered her a second cocktail, which helped her feel as happy as she had in a long time. She had a wonderful Master. Feva was a wonderful companion. She had her music, her pursuit of fitness, and a life designed to help her become the most accomplished and satisfied person she could be. She looked at Nav and wanted to tell him how much she loved him, but that wasn't something a slave should say. Their bond was a closer, more intimate connection than mere love. She was sure she loved her Master, but she wasn't sure he'd approve of using that word to describe their relationship.
"Who's the prettiest dancer here?" Nav asked.
"They're all nice," Meena said. "I like looking at all of them. Thank you for bringing me here, Master. I am enjoying it."
"That's good to hear," Nav said. "Now, answer the question. Tell me which dancer you like best."
Meena looked around. So many choices. One woman had green hair and tattoos on every part of her body, including her face. Most of the dancers had breast enhancements, but the green haired woman's breasts were particularly large and enticing. "I like her," Meena said.
"So what you're saying is you like boobs?" Nav said.
Meena laughed so hard a few drops of her cocktail came out her nose. Feva handed her a napkin. "What's not to like?" She giggled some more. Nav decided she probably didn't need any more cocktails.
A server came to the table and asked if they were ready to order lunch. "Almost," Nav said. "Before we get lunch, can you see if the dancer with the bright green hair is available? We'd like a lap dance."
"That can be arranged," the server said.
Meena thought this was a good idea. She'd given Nav several lap dances, and he'd enjoyed them. She imagined that he'd like getting one from a different woman. He deserved this opportunity to enjoy himself. Meena finished her drink, sucking hard on the straw and hearing the bubbling sound when she'd gotten it all. She hoped the Master would order another.
