Bounty hunter Alessia has challenged her rival, a lizardfolk named Thrax, to a fight to finally put an end to their constant bickering and get him out of her hair. Little does she know that the fight is going to make them passionate towards each other in... different ways.
------------------------------------------------------------
There was no one there when Alessia arrived at the clearing.
Of course that overgrown lizard was late, or chickened out.
Though the latter seemed unlikely, he might be an infuriating fuck, but he was not a coward.
Alessia grabbed the shaft of her mace and spun on her feet as some rustling startled her.
Oh, there he was.
"You're late, you scaly asshole," she said at the newcomer.
Thrax eyed her with his purple reptile eyes, his sharp teeth showing as he replied to her.
"I'm not late," he hissed, "you are early."
"Eager to get your ass handed to you, mammal?" his cocky tone made Alessia's gauntlet creak as she tensed her fist.
"It's going to be fun trying to see you smile without teeth, you cunt," she said as she wielded her mace towards him.
Thrax straightened his long sinuous body, his muscular legs and clawed feet grabbing firmly onto the ground.
"You know what they say, don't sell the lizard's skin before you take him down," he spat as he bared his teeth and claws at her.
Alessia gritted her teeth, she had been looking forwards to this all day.
For months Thrax had been getting in her way and stealing bounties from under her nose, the stupid lizard always seemed to know how to irk her with every encounter.
Things had come to a head last night at the guild, where she just couldn't stand him bragging about that rampaging ogre he had dragged to town, the same one she had already wounded before he ran and fell into Thrax's claws, who of course was poaching her targets.
He denied it, of course, just happened to be in the vicinity, but it had happened way too often to be believable.
She challenged him to a fight, alone, no more bullshit, just she and him and their fists, or maybe claws in his case.
"So, how are we doing this, mammal?" he said crossing his arms and supporting himself on his long muscular tail, "though it's not too late to chicken out."
Alessia scoffed at him, moving forward and standing right in front the tall lizardman, looking up to lock her brown eyes with his.
"In your dreams, asshole," she said poking him on his wide chest, "we do this without weapons, as much as I want to splatter your brains on the grass, the guild would kick me out."
He hissed at her, lowering his angular face at her level.
"How magnanimous of you," he said with contempt, "you should keep those pieces of tin you call armour on you, I cannot really put away these."
He held his sharp claws in front of her face.
She swatted them away with a dismissive movement, her eyes screaming bloody murder at him.
"Fine!" she said through gritted teeth, "though I can take you down without it."
He snorted at this comment, which infuriated Alessia so much, she shoved the lizard with one hand.
"You are good, mammal, but you're deluded if you think that lovely tanned flesh can take me," a stupid grin showed in his scaly face, his reptilian eyes dilating as he looked at her.
Alessia growled almost like an animal.
"I'm going to enjoy knocking those fucking needles off your skull," she said as she walked away from him, putting her shield and mace against a rock.
As she did, Thrax straightened his back a bit, his elongated body raising his head way above Alessia.
He was so fucking big, she thought, but it didn't matter, she had taken down bigger assholes.
With a shift move, he released his thick belt and chucked it to the side, his hand-axes and other equipment doing a loud metallic sound as they hit the ground.
"Until first blood, submission..." the lizard man asked as he assumed a fighting stance.
Alessia shot daggers at him with her eyes while clenching her fists, getting ready for combat herself.
"Until we're fucking done," she said with venom laced words.
Thrax grinned again.
"Fine by me," he hissed.
And as those last words still floated in the air, Alessia lunged at him, screaming like a mindless berserker as she tried to elbow him right under the ribs.
Thrax quickly darted out of her way, his green scales almost leaving and after image as he serpentined away from her fists.
He hissed a mocking chuckle, but his face dropped the grin when Alessia grabbed his meaty tail and pulled him towards her.
The woman headbutted him in the chest, her steel cap connecting with a crunch that made Thrax let out a grunt of pain.
He stood back holding his chest as Alessia tried in vain to readjust her cap, quickly giving up and just chucking it away, so it wouldn't obstruct her view.
But that moment was all that the lizard needed to counter-attack, and before she had time to react, Thrax's thick tail was slamming onto her like a flail.
Alessia spun in place before tripping sideways and hitting a tree, spitting blood as she chuckled like a mad woman.
"I'm going to make you eat that fucking tail of yours!" she screamed with bloodshot eyes as she cleaned the blood off her mouth.
Thrax hissed at her, squatting as if getting ready for a tackle.
"I hear lots of words, mammal, but no actions!" he said with a cocky tone that was making Alessia's blood boil.
Furious, she charged at him again, but this time, she was ready, and as he tried to side step her and dart to one side, she quickly spun on her feet and plunged her fist onto his jaw, a terrible squelching sound filling the clearing.
He stepped back while holding his jaw, before spitting several needle like teeth with a glob of blood.
"Lucky hit, bitch," he said with difficult breath and an annoyed tone.
Alessia lifted her guard up and got ready.
"Let's put that luck to the test, shall we?" she said, clenching her teeth.
With an angry snarl, Thrax lunged forward this time, his claws lashing at her like an ivory whirlwind, only the deft blocks from Alessia's gauntlets keeping him at bay.
While the woman was doing a good job of keeping him at bay, his attacks were too relentless, and after several successful blocks his claws slipped through her guards and lobbed themselves close to her clavicle, cutting some of the leather straps holding her chest piece together, and piercing her flesh.
Alessia let out a short scream of pain, but before Thrax could grin again, she latched onto his right arm with her left hand, firmly gripping his smooth green scales, and pulled him closer for a brutal punch with her gauntlet on his side.
The lizard doubled over in pain, losing his balance for a second, but it was enough for Alessia to unload punch after punch on his chest, shoulder and face, the sound of cracked scales growing with each slam.
Thrax's reptile eyes contracted into a blade's edge, utterly consumed with anger, and he lashed out at his rival with his very teeth, closing his jaws against her neck and shoulder, gripping it with the tenacity of an alligator.
Before Alessia could shake him off, he pulled her off her feet with his maw and chucked her away, her body slamming with a crack against another tree trunk.
The warrior stood up on wobbly feet, looking at her rival through a bloody haze.
He, in response, dropped to a crouch, one of his clawed hands touching the ground, ready to attack again.
In unison, both of them charged forward and slammed onto each other, rolling on the floor in a flurry of bites, punches, claws and kicks.
"You fucking, disgusting, infuriating, asshole! Why are you always fucking following me! Why do keep stealing my bounties!" Alessia screamed as she pinned down the lizard man, repeatedly punching his face.
Thrax bared his teeth at her and headbutted her right in the face, splitting her lip and knocking her off his body.
With a swift move, he lifted her by her short red hair and started to repeatedly punch her in the stomach, with such impetus that her breastplate fell off, and the last few punches connected with her firm but exposed belly.
"It has been a fucking coincidence you stupid, pig headed, bitch!" he said, kicking her away.
Alessia, groaning in pain but far from defeated, shot him a threatening look with the single eye that wasn't covered in blood and, with surprising impetus for someone in obvious pain, shoulder tackled him into the ground, dropping several hammer blows on his chest as she screamed.
"Why do you fucking lie to me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Thrax, using this instant to act, punched her in the kidneys, making Alessia wince in pain while still straddling him.
The lizardman moved to punch her again, but fatigue was getting to him, so his second him lacked the power to knock her off him, instead making her wince again.
Alessia, still dozy from pain, grabbed his wrists and slammed them against the ground, panting and drooling blood on his chest.
"I. DO. NOT. FUCKING. LIE!" he said with a hiss.
"Every single fucking time I wasn't there to steal your bounties!" his teeth were almost on her face.
Alessia took a breath, still furious but too winded to take another action asides from pinning him down.
Wait, what is that she was feeling.
She moved her hips and her face changed from anger to indignation.
"You have a fucking boner?!" she screamed at him.
Thrax slammed his tail on the ground.
"You are one to talk! You smell like a fucking bitch in heat!" he winced in pain with every breath.
Alessia risked letting go of his wrists and quickly slid back, still sitting on his legs, and with a strenuous movement she pulled his leather shorts down.
