A fight night

Like the bartender Wental had stated, the Innkeeper was back at about the same time as Jay's beer was empty. He had watched the blonde woman with a better than average figure that had come walking up from the basement for a moment until he noticed she was the one he waited for.

Innkeeper Brianna was quite pretty, not to the degree of a true beauty but way better than average and about thirty years of age. As his intuition warned him, Jay was reluctant to use analyze, so he could only guess from outside appearance.

She had already noticed Jay watching her but played ignoring it as she walked behind the bar. There she ordered Wental to properly clean the mugs and then checked out the guest that had arrived.

Jay used this moment and asked her what he had wanted to.

"Sorry, Miss? Would it still be possible to get a room for the night?" J.

"Hm? Sure, Single or shared?" B.

"How much is it?" J.

While asking, Jay fetched something from his pocket and placed it on the bar. As he lifted his hand, Brianna saw the coin lying there and she rose her brow but only smiled. After looking back up at Jay to muster him for what she could see, she shook her head, pushed his hand back onto the coin and shoved it back to him.

"Follow me…" B.

Without wait she walked back around the bar again and towards the stairs she only minutes before arrived from.

Jay couldn't even ask what she had meant with that but still walked after her in fast steps until he was right behind her. Only while descending into the dark basement, Brianna continued:

"If you want a discount, you can earn it down here!" B.

"Earn you say… oh." J.

Contrary to his wild imaginations from her statement, what Jay saw halfway down the stairs was a small crowd of people surrounding a circular area. In the middle of that stood a dwarf and a fit looking man in fighting poses.

Just as Jay and Brianna reached the end of the stairs did the fight begin and the people cheered. They still gave the host some room and stepped to the side when Brianna walked through the crowd to the front row with Jay in tow.

The two fighters wore noting but their pants and really went at it. It could have only been some few exchanges of blows but both already had some bruises. The man had a cut on his lower lip and seemed to have gotten a hit to his left knee while the Dwarf was bleeding from his nose and had one eye swollen.

It really was an intense fight with bare fists.

"One of my Fighters dropped out today. For a discount and a bit of change I want you to fight in his stead. You look capable, though it would be a shame to ruin you pretty face, right?" B.

Jay didn't answer as he had the feeling he either had to fight in the ring or his way out of the Inn. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and continued to watch the fight in front of him.

The Dwarf had just gotten two very hard punches in, making the other fighter hold his ribs that had to at least gotten a knack.

"How does the bets work here? Any minimum amounts or fees?" J.

"No minimum amounts, fee is ten percent of the win. Quotes are set before the fight, for new fighters it's a set 3:1. You can also rise it by betting on knock out and other factors, but you're late anyway. Betting goes until the fight starts…" B.

Jay understood what she had meant as a second later the burly Dwarf kicked the man's shin so he lost balance forward and ended the fight with a beautiful uppercut.

Jay was sure the poor man's nose was a goner with this and proven right when he saw it deformed in the bloody face. The fighter got knocked out cold, though the Dwarf was in a not much better condition.

The crowd didn't care though and flooded the fighting area. Some threw their small chits with their bets on the ground while others rushed over to a middle aged woman that seemingly was paying out for the bets.

"Get ready, it's your turn!" B.

"What about the rules?" J.

"This is no Arena fight, so no weapons and of course no magic is allowed. Anything else goes, though cheating is unwelcome. And no Armors, so strip yours off…" B.

Doing as he got asked to do, Jay first got rid of his gloves and then loosened the straps of his leather armor to put it off. Once done he did the same with his boots and set it all on a pile. Jay had at this point felt quite a number of stares, but got surprised when he looked around.

It seemed that nearly all females present, Brianna included, had their eyes glued on his body. He tried not to care about it and loosened his belt with the small pouches on it. To this Brianna told Jay to pick up the things and follow her over to the side where he placed everything in a chest that she locked.

"You know, ...if you show a good performance in the fight, you still might get what you wanted with that coin of yours…" B.

Jay only smirked to her comment, but instead of answering he fetched a coin from his pocket and flipped it over to the Innkeeper. She caught it without problem but stared at him in bewilderment once she saw it was actually a gold coin.

"The discount wasn't really what you're after, right?" B.

"Bet on me, and with a knock out. What's the Quota?" J.

"That would be 4:1, but be careful…" B.

With this, Jay only had to win and him spending a few extra coins in the town wouldn't arise any suspicions.

He walked to the middle of the ring, eyed by not only the women but everyone that had heard his claims. The whispers he could hear were mostly the mocking kind, so Jay was quite expectant for whom his opponent would be.

The man that stepped out into the ring as well was tall, even taller than Jay. His broad shoulders and hick arms were packed with muscles and from how he looked, this was a veteran in underground fighting.

Not only the numerous times broken nose or the swollen eyes but the bald head as well told this to Jay, long before he even analyzed his opponent.

Form how the skills of the skinhead were set up, Jay was sure he was a pure strength fighter. With quite some Vitality to spare and mostly axe and barehanded skills, Jay at least was sure he could pack some power in his punches.

Without further wait, Brianna's voice echoed from the side as she started the fight.

The Burly man directly went with a straight punch while jumping forward, only to nearly crash into the onlookers behind where his opponent had stood. Jay had simply sidestepped the big man but didn't go on the offense yet.

The next attack he had to dodge, this time by ducking down and once again sidestepping, was an attempted grapple.

Just to clarify he wasn't only dodging, Jay hammered a straight right into the skinheads flank. To all people presents surprise, the veteran he was fighting nearly toppled over and wore a pained expression. His health bar as well had dropped by a large amount.

Jay waited until his opponent had gotten back to his feet and taken a fighting pose again.

Then it was him that went on the offense.

After a feinted right, he directly brought a curved left through his opponents guard. The hit to the cheekbone was so hard, Jay felt it shatter to his fist. This also took a huge part from the man's health, bringing him down to less than half.

The skinhead lost orientation for a moment and Jay took a step back as he was surprised by his own force. Until that moment he hadn't once really fought like this and was baffled by his own strength to say the least. He had thought it was the magic support that had brought down those bandits and monsters in the past, or his weapons and equipment.

But just then he learned how it was when he was purely fighting with his own body.

Back to his senses, Jay's opponent rushed over with another attempt to get a hit in. This time the massive man tried a mid kick with his right leg, but the result was even worse than before.

Jay countered it with his right knee to the man's shin, breaking latter in the process. Using his turning momentum and the flaring up (Riposte), Jay brought a right swinger to his opponents jaw.

Moments after the burly skinhead hit the ground hard, Jay heard a loud clap coming from where Brianna had stood. His opponent had made half a turn in the air and then landed with a broken leg, cheekbone and jaw, completely knocked out cold.

"Ooookay guys, this was the last fight for the day! Get you wins if you have some and don't forget to have a drink if you wish so… Good night!" B.

The people were still cheering as no one doubted that it had been fake after the last knock out punch. Jay himself was still surprised but made his way over to the skinhead to have a look. He was in a bad condition, though nothing too serious.

Jay gave his leg and face a heal while nobody was looking as the guests all kept lamenting about their losses. They still did as they were told and left over the stairs.

After the sparse onlookers that had bet on Jay had gotten their share and left as well, Brianna walked over to Jay who had sat down on the chest where his gear was stored. She reached him a small bag with coins that he didn't even bother checking on.

While he was donning his armor, she revealed to him that she had also bet on him just for the fun of it.

With this nearly all of the last fights profits went to her, what was a big cash in. But they had to move up as the tavern was bound to be nearly bursting and Brianna still had her main job to do.

With this set, they left the basement as well while the other older women was cleaning up. Visibly in a good mood she offered Jay free lodging and catering for as long as he was staying. After he spotted a single free seat at a far table, he directly took her up on that and asked for a meal and drink.

The other two men at the small table to the side were guards that had seen Jay arriving this day. They welcomed him once again and then resumed their talks while Jay got served his meal.

It was a simple soup with bread and some fish parts floating on the surface. The taste was relatively bland but not really bad, slightly salty and bit to watery for a good fish soup.

But it wasn't the soup that was on Jay's mind.

Ever since he had come up from the basement again he felt like being watched. And he was sure it was none of the onlookers from downstairs, nor any of the guards. This continued even after Jay offered the two guards another drink.

About an hour later the dining hall was no longer that crowded. More than half of the guests had either gone home or to their rooms and the others were about to leave as well. Jay said his goodbye to the guards named Wilson and Brant, then walked over to the bar. Brianna was just coming back from cleaning another table.

"I guess you want the key to you room, right? Come on, I'll show it to you…" B.

Seconds after she came back from the kitchen, Brianna held out a key to Jay but pulled it back the moment he was a bout to grab it. She then led him to the stairs after telling Wental to look after the customers for a moment.

The Inn was simple, but clean and tidy. On the second floor, Jay followed the Innkeeper to a door down the hallway and opened it for him. The room was bigger than he had thought, with a chest for equipment, a small table and surprisingly a double bed.

"You had wanted something else than a discount when you came here, right? I guess I need to compensate you for the show of strength you gave me in the fight…" B.

Brianna's voice was close to Jay when he heard the door fall back into the frame and getting locked. At this moment he understood the reason she had chosen a double room for him, though there was no way Jay would complain.

As he turned around, the woman about double his age, at least in this world, had already let her dress slide down and presented her average sized, slightly giving in to gravity but still beautiful bosom.

She stepped closer to Jay who was still not reacting and pulled his head down to plant a deep kiss on his mouth. But she stopped it just as Jay was replying and went to work on his armor.

In a few seconds she had freed him of it, showing she really had some practice in something like this. After freeing him of his shirt as well and marveling once again over his toned body, Brianna went on with his pants. Like it happened always she halted the moment Jay's pant got pulled down and made sure she had seen right.

"You're full of surprises! Though I guess I'm going to be the one full of this last one..." B.

They both grinned for a second before his tip entered her wide open mouth. Some few seconds of her caressing his manhood with her tongue later did Brianna get up to her feet again. She swiftly got rid of her simple pantie and led Jay to the bed by her hand.

Laying back and opening her legs, she gave Jay a good view on her already glistering, neatly trimmed crotch, waiting for him to take her in missionary position. Jay did like he got wordlessly asked and carefully entered through her swollen lips after getting his tool into position.

He wasn't even half in her when suddenly Brianna grabbed his butt cheeks and pulled him in hard. Though this resulted in them both flinching for a second, it also signaled to Jay the direction in which the night would incline to.

Jay sped up his movements and even grabbed her breast with the slightly bigger areolas but small tip harder. Brianna first pulled his hips to signal him to get even rougher, but after a few moments she instead played with her sensitive spot and caressed his body.

Needless to say she didn't last too long, but at least she reigned herself in as she reached her first hard climax. That didn't go so well on her second one as Jay had taken her from behind and also blasted a humongous amount inside her.

She was a bit shocked when he still continued to ram deep inside her even after this, but there was no word of complain coming from her.

Over two hours later, Jay let her off in fear he might get her on his list as well or have his blessing affect her.

By then she was already slightly reluctant to leave, but still rose from the bed a bit unsteady. After she took a few wobbly steps towards the door, leaking a trace of drips on the floor, she turned around once more after she pulled up her dress.

"You know, I'll add private service to the free lodging and meals for whenever you want…" B.

Not leaving him the time to reply, Brianna hushed through the door and pulled it closed behind her. Jay was left a bit speechless on the bed as he heard her leave down the hallway.

After fetching his armor and clothes that lay all over the room and locking the door he went back to bed. Pulling up his blanket he lay back and closed his eyes to soon drift off into a well deserved and sound sleep.
