It was the morning after Kate had given their friend Tom the pleasure of seeing her in her see-through bikini. Of course it was an accident but it was an accident she was glad had happened. That brief few seconds as Tom stared at her pussy and tits stayed with her, especially the empowering few moments that followed when she had parted her legs to give him a better look.
But today she was disappointed. The weather had surprisingly turned colder and the forecast for the remainder of the cruise was not great. Would she be able to wear that bikini again, and even if she did, could she realistically pretend that she had "forgotten" it was see--through?
She had been having all sorts of ideas about how to accidentally expose herself but none of them seemed workable. She even wondered if she might wander the decks in a skirt with no underwear in the hope the wind might blow the skirt up and give passers by a brief flash, but she didn't think it was workable. The wind would have to blow quite strongly at just the right moment and she would have to be ready not to react
instinctively by holding her skirt down. And of course there would need to be people - men - in the right place to see things. No, it wouldn't work.
It was as Kate's sense of gloom deepened that events took a surprising turn. There was a knock at the cabin door. Ed opened the door and they were surprised to see Lara, the magician's sexy assistant from the show where Kate's adventures had begun. She was plainly but smartly dressed in a trouser suit although the white blouse underneath was tight and Kate could imagine men eyeing it as it stretched over her large breasts.
Kate remembered that she had been chosen by Lara during the show because they were similar in build, and wondered if she would ever have the courage to wear such a tight-fitting top to work when they got home from the cruise. Not that she had a job, right now. If she wore something like that to an interview...?
"May I come in a minute?" asked Lara.
"Of course." gestured Ed.
The cabin was small with no chairs, and Kate was sitting on the bed.
"Mind if I sit down?" asked Lara and popped herself next to Kate without waiting for an answer.
"So what brings you here?" asked Ed. "I thought you would be on another ship by now?"
"No - we transfer later in the week, when we dock."
"Do you do this all year round." enquired Ed.
"Nine months. Then we get a rest. But it's not a bad life. Pay is good although Nick gets more than me, of course."
"Nick?" puzzled Kate.
"My partner. Or boss depending how you look at it. The Great Nick Brown.. On the posters."
"Oh, I see. I don't think we ever realised his stage name." said Ed.
"Well he's the star and the one who does the magic so he gets more than I do of course. Anyway... that's why I'm here."
"I don't understand." said Ed.
"I'm here to make your wife an offer."
"Me? An offer?" Kate's hand moved to her mouth.
"Yes. We need another assistant. We want to develop the show."
Kate raised her eyebrows. "Me? You want me to become the other assistant?"
"Yes. You were great the other night. A natural. I was even a bit jealous. You went down really well - more than I have ever done. Mind you I've never gone naked before!"
Ed interrupted. "But we're going home in a few days. I have to get back to work."
Lara smiled and nodded. "It was a long shot anyway. But we wanted to make the offer in case it interested you. We need someone quickly and think you would be perfect, Kate."
Lara opened a small document wallet she was holding on her lap, and produced an official-looking piece of paper. "Look, here's a contract we had drawn up. I can leave it with you if you want to have a look. You'll see the offer is very generous."
Kate reached out but Ed had already taken the contract and was skim-reading it. "It is a very generous offer. More money than I can make. But I don't know..."
"You'll also see that either we or you can terminate the contract after two weeks. You could stay with us, Kate and have an extra two weeks holiday on luxury cruise ships for a little work - probably just four nights altogether, plus a couple of days preparation. You might really enjoy it."
"Well I will have to get back to work. " mused Ed. "But Kate isn't in work at the moment..."
"You'll see the contract includes a flight home as well. Please think about it, we are really keen on you joining us and even if you only do the two weeks it would give us time to find someone to replace you after that."
Kate looked at Ed and when he didn't react said: "I think I could consider it? What do you think?"
"Well it's up to you. I will have to go home but I suppose there's nothing that means you have to fly back when I do. I could manage at home for a week or two but after that..."
"It's okay I won't run away to the circus! I will just do two weeks." Kate was amazed to find herself feeling very positive about the idea. It felt like an exciting new adventure and somehow the idea of performing on that stage again also felt empowering...
"Tell you what..." offered Lara. "I will leave the contract with you. If you're interested come to the theatre this afternoon. We'll be rehearsing and you can chat with me and Nick about what it would involve. Please think about it. We'd love to have you join us."
She stood up and took the door handle. "See you later, I hope."
That afternoon, Ed fell asleep on their bed. They had talked over the proposal and Ed had agreed that they should explore it further, though he had some doubts. He seemed to think Kate wasn't up to it - that she would be too shy - but that secretly made her more keen to prove him wrong. Kate was restless but excited.
She decided that while he slept she would go alone and meet Nick and Lara. She didn't know if Ed had expected to come with her, but the offer was to her and she was big enough to decide for herself.
The theatre seemed dark and quiet and at first she wondered if they were around, but then she spotted Nick and Lara in semi-darkness at the back of the stage, talking animatedly about something.
"Hello?" she offered.
They waved her onto the stage and Nick shook her hand warmly and even gave her a gentle peck on the cheek.
"Hi!" he enthused. "Glad you came! We're really keen to have you help us out."
"Well I don't know yet...." whispered Kate suddenly feeling nervous now she was here.
"You will be great. I just needed more help with the show. Another glamourous assistant!"
Kate blushed. She was starting to doubt. It was nice to be called glamourous but she was feeling more self-conscious and less confident.
"I have a few ideas about what I want to do." explained Nick. "One idea is to plant one of you in the audience before the show and have you come out like the other night. With a different audience every time no-one would realise that you are part of the act - until you go on to help with the rest of the show."
"You mean do exactly what we did the other night?" asked Kate.
"Yeah! You were great!" smiled Nick
"But .... not coming out of the box naked...?" asked Kate.
"Now that was sensational! Not part of the plan but that was the best response we have ever had to our show."
Kate smiled, secretly delighted. But she noted that Nick didn't say whether the naked part was going to be part of the plan in future...
Nick continued with enthusiasm. "Now, I've always wanted to do the sawing a lady in half thing but you can't do that with only one assistant. You need another one to make that work. The two halves are actually two girls. We've got all the equipment - we just need the other lady!"
"Me?" asked Kate.
"Well yes. But you need to be flexible for that to work. I will show you later how we do it. But it depends on you - are you up for this?"
Lara spoke up. "Things have moved on from this morning, Kate. We have to get some contracts signed ourselves by 6pm this evening so we can continue on the cruises. But how that will work all hinges on you. I don't want to rush you but if you say 'no' then we will have to find someone else and we've hardly any time to do that. Is your husband happy for you to do this?"
"Well the decision is mine." declared Kate. "It's up to me and I am very interested."
"There is just one thing you should know..." said Lara.
Kate sensed there was some hitch coming and felt that she was about to be disappointed.
"We've had to add something to the contract that we gave you. It's changed." said Nick. "And it may put you off but we have to tell you about it. We're being up-front."
Kate felt her heart rate increase. She sensed she was about to hear something significant. She was right.
Lara explained:"After the show the other night when you got naked, we were asked to go and see the ship's management. We thought we were going to get into trouble for the nudity but it was just the opposite."
"They loved it." interjected Nick. "They asked if we could have that in the show every time."
"They said they'd had lots of positive feedback from the punters." added Lara. "It seems that when people are away from home they are keen to experience something more exotic.. And erotic. It's like these holidays for young people in Europe where there's lots of booze and sex. Older people do cruises but they are just as keen on a bit of sexual adventure - but as spectators rather than joining in some orgy."
"So the management of the cruise fleet have asked us to spice up the show. They're all for the nudity and a bit of eroticism."
Kate's heart was racing faster. "So what's in the contract?"
"Well it says part of the show may involve you being nude." admitted Lara. Although we could arrange it so I'm the one who comes out of the box naked if you prefer. You's certainly have to wear the little bikini and we had wondered about both of us doing some of the other parts of the show topless."
Kate sat down on a nearby chair and took a deep breath. She ran her tongue around her dry lips thoughtfully. She really wanted to do this, but didn't know if she should, and certainly didn't want to appear keen. The nudity excited her. Her pussy felt wet even now at the prospect. She hoped Nick or Lara would say something that would help her clinch the decision.
"We understand that this might not be what you want to do." said Nick."We understand if you want to turn us down. But we need to know right now. Oh.. And because of this extra requirement we've added another five per cent to your fee."
That helped. Kate took another deep breath and stood up. "I'll do it. When do I start?"
Nick and Lara both hugged her simultaneously. She felt scared but special. "Where do I sign?"
Lara brought her the new contract and Kate signed it.
"Listen,,,, I ... please don't tell my husband about the new requirement."
Nick winked at her. "I understand. We won't say a word. Will you be able to leave him at the end of this week when we transfer?"
