MOSCOW – Increasing the stakes in a suddenly highly competitive sexual-favors bidding war revolving around Russian soccer pro Alexander Kokorin, Mistress Zhestokiy, Russia’s 47[SUP]th[/SUP] most-popular online dominatrix, is now offering the talented striker an “ecstatically brutal and excruciatingly pleasant” two-day bondage and humiliation session if Korkorin tallies 14 goals on the season.

Korkorin, who plays for fifth-place FC Dynamo Moscow, has scored seven goals on the season thus far, with nine games to play. The striker did not score in Dynamo’s most recent game, a 2-1 win over third-place squad CSKA Moscow.

Earlier in the season, Zhestokiy promised only a 12-hour tickling and light spanking encounter if Korkorin scored 10 goals. The stern mistress says she had to raise both the performance bar and the promised reward, however, once another suitor entered the picture.

“When I saw Alina Henessy had stepped in with an offer of 16 hours of sex for 12 goals, I knew I had to adjust my bid to remain competitive,” Zhestokiy said. “Alina offers stiff competition, especially on the off chance Alex is more into having anal sex with a beautiful woman than being flogged while wearing his mother’s wedding dress.”

Asked whether she thinks 14 goals is a realistic number to expect, Zhestokiy said a difficult target is appropriate, given the context of her offer.

“My time is valuable, and for all his accomplishments running around on the field playing a game designed for little boys, Alex still must be shown he’s a filthy worm who deserves only my scorn,” Zhestokiy said. “He must accomplish something truly extraordinary to prove himself worthy of my punishment.”

While acknowledging the potentially strong appeal of an extended romp with Henessy, Zhestokiy believes Korkorin will find her proposed performance bonus more compelling.

“Alina is very sexy, yes, but I believe Alex is the sort of man who took up football mostly because he liked it when his mother yelled at him,” Zhestokiy said. “A mischievous sort who would rub grass on his shorts after practice if they weren’t sufficiently soiled, just to make sure he’d get in trouble when he got home. This is why he is so receptive to the tough coaching from [Dynamo Manager Stanislav] Cherchesov; Alex craves ‘tough love.’ He probably makes mistakes on purpose just to be yelled at, unmanned and demeaned in front of his teammates.”

Zhestokiy made it clear she bears no ill will for Henessy, even lauding the porn star as a “lovely girl” who is “clearly too good for Alex, anyway.”

“On the one hand, I think ‘may the best woman win,’” Zhestokiy said. “On the other, it would be a shame for her to be pawed at by this sweaty shell of a man, instead of him receiving the degradation he so richly deserves.”

Thus far, Korkorin has been silent as to which offer he fancies, or whether neither appeals. For her part, Zhestokiy says she’s fine with him collecting on both rewards, provided the footballer reaches both thresholds.

“Let him have his fun first, then face the consequences for daring to come to my attention without first paying me homage,” Zhestokiy said. “Also, if he falls short in his quest for goals, but sincerely accepts he needs more discipline, both in life and in his game, he is always welcome to pay for my services. Some of his peers in the Premier League hypothetically already do.”
