Sparring Session

Later On...

"Ungh!"

MJ grunted as she was knocked down by Komand'r, who then walked over to her and extended her hand. MJ took it and allowed the princess to pull her up, trying to hide her frustration as she dusted herself off. "Not bad," Komand'r said encouragingly. "You are a fast learner, Mary Jane, but I can still sense some hesitation in your movements. With practice, that hesitation will fade."

"Thanks, Komand'r. I appreciate you doing this for me," MJ said gratefully; with everything that had happened to her recently, and everything going on on Tamaran at the moment, MJ felt she could learn to better defend herself, and Komand'r was all too happy to help... although the Tamaranean princess certainly had ulterior motives in doing so. She'd been hoping to spend some time alone with the beautiful visitor, and when MJ accepted her offer for combat training, she saw a perfect opportunity.

"No need to thank me," Komand'r grinned confidently. "This is no doubt a strange situation for you. If I can make things easier for you, then I shall gladly do what I can."

"I have to say, I'm still trying to process everything that's happened to me lately," MJ admitted. "We still have no idea how I got here, and this whole thing could have been a really nasty experience. But I want you to know, your family's been really good to me, especially you and Kori, and I can't thank you guys enough."

Komand'r bristled at the mention of her sister, whom she now saw as obvious competition for MJ's attention; still, she hid her disdain for Kori well and focused on her priority, which was to seduce MJ. And while she could tell that her visitor was quite taken with her younger sister, she sensed an attraction between the two of them -- and she was intent on exploiting it.

"You are easily the most... exciting visitor we've ever had here at the palace, Mary Jane Watson," Komand'r smiled, placing a hand on MJ's shoulder.

MJ felt her pulse quicken at Komand'r's comment; she knew she was enamored with Kori, but now, she also found herself quite drawn to Komand'r as well. She'd never experienced attractions this intense before, and she honestly didn't know what to do about it. "Heh, I like to think I'm a pretty exciting person," she chuckled. "So it's nice to have someone else confirm it."

"Speaking of excitement," Komand'r continued, smirking playfully, "Would you care to make this training session more interesting?"

"Oh? What do you have in mind?" MJ asked curiously.

"We spar for several rounds," Komand'r suggested. "The loser of each round must remove an article of clothing, and whomever ends up nude first loses."

"So... kinda like strip poker, but with sparring," MJ noted. "I'm not sure about that... I mean, the idea sounds fun, but let's face it, I'm no match for you."

Komand'r smirked mischievously. "I understand -- my combat training is much more advanced than yours. Do not worry, I will go easy on you." She eyed her visitor suggestively, causing MJ's heart to flutter in her chest. She nodded and accepted Komand'r's challenge, eager to impress the Tamaranean princess.

"Don't hold back too much," MJ requested. "I do wanna get better."

"Of course. You will not improve without a challenge," Komand'r replied. "Shall we begin?"
