Aptitude test

Venom entered the ring with all the grace and composure of a leader and a seasoned warrior. She held his gaze with her own stunning sunset eyes, a cocksure smirk on her lips that had become a common nuance of hers he noticed, and stood opposite of him, limbering herself up for the fight to come. She teased him back, accepting his challenge. His additional offer of a wager and the stakes he suggested brightened up the Empress' beautiful face with a fire in her eyes and a wicked grin on her face. She asked if he could trust she wouldn't throw the fight, and the suggestive implication her words had made his core clench hot. Oh, Maverick could not deny his great desire to take dominion over his lover, already imagining a slew of fun and inventive ways he could enjoy that power and they could enjoy that luxury together. "Well, if you're that interested in being my subject, you could use your prize to command me to dominate you, and I'd be happy to..." Maverick purred the last few words off his tongue, rolling the syllables with a thinly veiled lust. "But I'd prefer to win that prize if I can."

As soon as their banter had ended, the fight had begun. Venom kicked things off, the lithe Empress darting to his right, which Mav immediately moved to intercept—only for Venom to feign to the left and lunge for him. Maverick tried to turn to intercept her attack, but Venom was quicker than he was. She was able to get in close and use her body to prevent him from getting his footing on his left paw. He stumbled, and Venom went for his ear, but a quick turn of his head kept the sensitive appendage just out of reach. Instead, her teeth found purchase on his cheek, grabbing the side of his face in her jaws. Maverick snarled in reply, keeping his left eye closed to prevent any accidental damage to it while he relied on his size and strength to overpower the Empress. Maverick shifted his weight to his right legs and sought to bring his left paw up over Venom's back and sides, seeking to grab her round her sides so he could literally scoop her front legs off the ground and put her off balance enough to release him.
