Zack loitered in the ship's entranceway, surrounded by the other bustling cruise passengers. He recognized some male acquaintances from previous excursions and a few of the regular crew and staff. He could have boarded privately and been escorted straight to his topside premium cabin suite. But he liked this first encounter to peruse the first time passengers, his newest and freshest shipmates. He sorted through the variety of people, selecting some he found interesting, others not so much. Everyone wandered up to the dockside rails for their final 'bon voyage' waves to their chauffeurs, butlers, mistresses and other lifestyle handlers. The newest young ladies were less exuberant; confirming their on-board presence to the bulky casino bodyguards that had dropped them off at the pier.
Atlantic City was the East Coast gambling mecca, attracting patrons from hundreds of miles away. Busloads and planeloads of tourists were ferried to the casinos, drawn by complementary meals, modest suites and starter packs of free gambling chips. The elderly tourists enjoyed the obesity boosting buffets and the colorful gambling floors with their infectious bells, lights and laughter. While their spouses shopped the glittery gallerias, the sprier old gentlemen escaped to a risquΓ© stage show. The combination of glamorous shopping, nubile flesh pageants and a dose of complementary Viagra ensured that the mature couples enjoyed a memorable overnight stay and booked repeated money hand-over visits.
The younger folks had a different experience. Despite the opulence on display, they naively thought that the casinos existed to give away jackpot money to its patrons. Convinced that they knew the secret to overcoming the odds, their wallets became the vast reservoir of amateur money that supported the professional luxury. Some overdid it; they staked their entire assets and credit on their self-assured schemes and methods, descending deeper and deeper into debt. The casinos cheered them on; the odds favored the house. Subsequent debt collection took divergent paths and the negotiations ran a standard script: threats for the malleable males, shame for the mothers and widows and extra-legal action for the would-be tough-guys. That's when they encountered the real tough-guys and quickly caved-in. But it was the young women that were the casino's real goldmine.
The casinos created the monthly Debt Settlement Cruises out of the Port of Atlantic City. The indebted young females were given options in accordance with their curves and character. The less alluring women could borrow from local street pimps and pay-with-play over time. The more eye-catching bodies could sign hospitality employment contracts with the casinos, working days as waitresses, housemaids and floor hostesses with liens against their wages. The payoffs could be accelerated with special night time services to privileged casino guests. The bodacious few were offered a cancellation of their entire debt for sincere cooperation during a four day Debt Settlement Cruise. The discrete invitation-only tickets were auctioned to trusted elite males and the events were always oversubscribed. This particular cruise carried the crew, six bodacious debtors and six elite male patrons.
Zack waved to his chauffer Aquila and she waved back, blowing a palm kiss. The oversized yacht sounded its horn and shuddered as it moved away from the dock. The engines rumbled and the luxury vessel transited the channel out to open sea and the four day revelry. Zack retired to his luxury cabin on the highest deck. His onboard fulltime hostess, Aquinia, was waiting for him. She stood attentively as he entered, wearing only her lime green micro-kini. The porters had delivered their bags and Aquinia had unpacked Zack's things, hanging and folding them into the compact storage spaces. Zack gave a cursory inspection to her work and pronounced it adequate. Aquinia grew concerned at Zack's inattention to detail.
Aquinia was responsible for Zack's mental and physical health and welfare during the cruise. His demeanor indicated a problem and she was Zack's designated problem solver. Her womanly intuition suspected the cause of Zack's edginess.
"Zack, darling, when was the last time you ejaculated?"
"Uhh, well... the trip here was longer than I expected and we just made the boat before it sailed. It's been at least 24-hours, maybe a little longer."
Aquinia took his hand and led him toward the private bathroom, using her free hand to untie the strings of her barely nothing swimsuit. Inside, she disrobed Zack, handling his casual wear with care. She helped him into the tub and leaned him back into a relaxing recline. Using sponges and the shower sprayer, she soothed and washed his body, playing the temperate water everywhere accessible. In the end, she soothed his cock and balls, setting loose his pent-up pool of cum so it could see the light of day. Zack was noticeably refreshed after that and rebounded to his usual good humor.
The ship sailed past the line of international waters and was thereby divested of pesky shore-bound legalities. The redressed and refreshed Zack and Aquinia joined the flow of excited patrons to the rear deck pool area for the Captain's Welcome Ceremony and Ice Breaker Party. Complementary drinks were handed round by scantily clad staff waitresses. A waiter distributed little game controllers to the hostesses. There were eruptions of greetings as some repeat male passengers renewed past friendships. Everyone was checking out the new women scattered among the chatting groups.
The Captain stepped to the podium on a low stage and welcomed all aboard the monthly Debt Settlement Cruise. There were cheers and applause, some more animated than others. Several of the young women were noticeably nervous and subdued in their enthusiasm. The Captain held his hands up for quiet and launched right into the business at hand. He motioned to a stage-side electronic tote board with room for names and associated timeslots. The blanks waited to be filled in with scheduled appointments.
"This month we have six young ladies willing to retire their Gambling Debts in one weekend. Each participating male patron has deposited their lump sum contribution with the bursar. We will now hold the auction that will apportion deposits to debt. Will our soon-to-be debt-free ladies please take the stage?"
There was a rustle of activity as six bikini clad beauties broke away from their clusters and approached the stage through the crowd. The Captain stepped forward and formed them side stage in a cue. He clipped a decorative medallion emblazoned with a large "1" on the first woman's thong. He took liberties to adjust her low cut top even lower, nearly exposing her nipples. The Captain chivalrously gave her his assisting hand to mount the platform, his other hand patting her ass before she promenaded across stage to her marked position. Numbers 2 through 6 followed their leader in turn, each getting a numbered medallion and enduring their own public panders from the Captain. It was his way of reminding them that their contract conditions required sincere cooperation during a four day Debt Settlement Cruise.
The tote board displayed the women's numbers by rows and their total debt to be retired. Half day time slots appeared as columns. While Zack perused the lineup of feminine pleasure available and voiced his choices, Aquinia keyed his preferences for time slots and contributions into the game controller. Zack's "Z" designation started to appear in the appropriate squares but then sometimes, his initial was overridden by other higher bids. Meanwhile the remaining debt totals for the numbered women counted down until they locked out at zero. Aquinia and Zack played a fast game of strategy and tactics until all of the debt totals zeroed out and the auction closed. Zack had secured 4 time slots spread across the weekend. Some bidders had been too conservative with their bidding and ended with only one. Their consolation was the alternate professional care and comfort they would be provided by their dedicated fulltime hostesses.
