A hard right hook from Wes detonated on the side of Katie’s head. The girl’s face contorted in pain and her arms dropped heavily to her side.
To Katie’s dimming vision, Wes moved barely at all, his fists still raised defensively although nearly all the fight was out of his opponent. The bout had gone for five rounds and in the first three, Katie had done well. But she had been fighting on the defensive the entire time and Wes took control when he saw Katie slowing down late in the fourth.
The world went silent after Wes’ left upper cut and Katie felt like she was floating under water, her feet inches from the canvas. Emma, the ref, was moving closer to her, ready to stop the match.
Then Wes’ bulging red fist emerged from his waist, moving faster than Emma. The glove consumed Katie’s universe and a sharp pain crackled through her skull.
Katie slid downward against the ropes, an intense rainbow of lights flashing as struggled to clasp the ropes. Inky blackness swarmed over the girl and she bounced off the bottom rope and landed on her back.
For a slow instant, Katie opened her eyes. Wes and Emma were staring down at her. “SIX!!” echoed around the gym and then Katie heard Emma’s gentle voice seep into her head. Bare chested in his trunks, Wes looked so handsome to Katie and she wanted to press her sore face into Emma’s ample chest.
“SEVEN!!” gently caressed Katie back to sleep.
For the first few moments of unconsciousness, Katie drifted in blackness, her entire being relaxed.
The film abruptly flickered in her brain. She viewed both dreams at once. The first had she and Wes making passionate love. Wes hadn’t simply seduced her, he was conquering and possessing Katie with sexual pleasure - an effort she welcomed with each penetration.
The second vision was of Katie and Emma, naked in each other’s arms on a big bed. They didn’t make love, but kissed and fondled each other tenderly. Katie was completely content in Emma’s embrace, her lips pressing Emma’s nipples.
“Go on Katie,” Emma encouraged the slightly younger girl. “It will be great!”
The longer Katie watched the double dream, the more pleasure flooded her body.
At “TEN!!” Emma quickly declared Wes the victor by a knock out and examined the slumbering Katie. Wes pulled off his gloves and knelt at the other side of Katie’s head and cracked her eye lids.
“Nothing but whites,” he told Emma. “She’s out cold!”
“Katie’s pulse is normal,” Emma added. “Let’s get her back to the corner.”
Carefully, the pair lifted up the unconscious girl, her limp legs bending at the knees around Emma’s hands and her upper torso snug in Wes’ arms. The defeated boxer girl’s head nestled into Wes’ arm and she released a long, audible sigh.
Katie collapsed against the turnbuckle when Wes and Emma gingerly sat her on the stool. Wes called her name as he gently slapped her cheeks. Emma cracked a phial of smelling salts by the girl’s nostrils and Katie jerked into foggy consciousness.
“Hey Katie, speak to us!” Wes pleaded.
“Wes?…you’re strong,” Katie murmured, still feeling traces of the dream that ended. Katie smiled, “Look at the fire flies!”
Emma grimaced. “Katie, breath in.” Emma made a short pass of the salts by Katie’s face. Katie spasmed and glared at the two, unable to look away from their faces. “You guys were holding me?” Katie whispered.
“Yeah, we carried you back here, sweetie,” Emma stated.
“It felt great…do it again!” Katie blurted and then her eyes crossed. She passed out.
Two days after her release from the hospital, Katie made love to Wes. Even before they boxed, Katie was fascinated that Wes only fought women and that most of his opponents ended their bouts out cold on the canvas like she did. Katie saw him as a challenge.
Wes found that he liked Katie, holding hands while they talked was just as exciting as fondling her compact ass during sex. Two weeks into their affair, Katie told Wes about the dream his knockout punch induced. She exaggerated Wes’ erotic role in the dream, but didn’t leave out Emma’s performance.
“Why didn’t I have sex with Emma?” Katie asked Wes as their heads rested on each other’s shoulders in Katie’s bed.
“Seems pretty clear to me,” Wes said, smiling at his lover.
“What?”
“You’re in love with Emma as much as me.”
Katie was confused by his attitude toward a possible rival.
“Ever been with a girl, Katie?”
“No, I never wanted sex with a woman,” Katie answered. “But I want sex with Emma!”
Wes gave her another assured smile. “Then go talk to her, test the water.”
“Do you know that she’s a lesbian?”
“For a fact? No. I’ve only known her to go with men. But you creatures are tricky. Id din’t figure you for girl on girl, but you’re already planning a lesbian seduction.”
Katie gave a short laugh at the suggestion.
Katie made sure Emma had three beers before she told her about her dream. It certainly increased her confidence that Emma agreed to come over to Katie’s apartment for dinner. They sat on the couch, drinking and talking about boxing and people at the gym and Wes. The entire gym, which was mostly women, were talking about how Wes and Katie were a couple even after he beat her senseless.
“He’s so handsome and ….male…” Katie explained, watching Emma’s face. The ref eyes widened and she smirked.
Katie then related her dream, amplifying the erotic charge of Emma’s presence. Emma took a swallow of beer and returned Katie’s searching look. She wanted to see if Katie was serious. Emma leaned forward and kissed Katie, their tongues swirling in their mouths. Katie felt happiness pulse through her entire body.
“Hey you awake?” Emma asked Katie in bed three hours later. Katie rolled over and exchanged kisses with Emma. “I didn’t know you went for girls, Emma. I was scared you’d turn me down.”
“Sure, I’ve had female partners. I’ve fallen for other women since I was eleven.”
“But Wes said he only saw you with guys.”
Emma snorted out a laugh. “I like guys too. A lot! I have to have a talk with Wes about talking out of school!”
“You’re friends with Wes?” Katie asked, feeling oddly jealous.
“We’ve had a few turns in the hay,” Emma explained. “Are you in love with Wes along with me?’\”
Katie nodded. “Wes has an open mind, I think the three of us will get along fine!” Emma said, kissing Katie on the lips.
