Author's Note:
I normally don't leave author's notes on these chapters, but I felt like it was high time I said hello and offered a word of appreciation for all you readers.
If you're new to my story, welcome and I hope you enjoy. I don't write summaries at the start of every chapter so you might want to read the previous chapters before this one just for a more thorough understanding of events, though this chapter can stand on its own if necessary.
If you're a returning reader, welcome back and I'm very thankful to have you again. I apologize that this chapter took a long time to make. I don't have as much time to write anymore and this chapter was particularly difficult. It ended up way longer than I was expecting, so much so in fact that I decided to cut it in half.
So I apologize in advance if this chapter ends in a bit of a cliff hanger. I had originally planned a much stronger ending but realized it would have made the chapter way too long to get there, and I figured you folks might appreciate this shorter version arriving in advance rather than waiting a few more weeks (or months) for the longer version. I'll reserve that for the next chapter.
There's also another issue I'd like to address. A few months back, I received an anonymous email that accused me of being a misogynist and rape-apologist for writing this story. So, in case it wasn't already implied, I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify that
I do NOT
in any way approve or condone forced/non-consensual sexual activities in the real world. This story and all the characters and actions described herein are pure fiction and should remain as such: pure fiction.
In no way, shape or form should this story be interpreted as encouragement to perform similar actions in the real world, much in the same way Game of Thrones should never be mistaken as encouragement to pick up a sword and hack your neighbor into pieces.
So if blackmail, non-consensual sexual activities, public humiliation and light bdsm are not your thing then please stop here and continue no further. After all, there's a reason I listed this under the 'non-consensual' category here in Literotica.
But if this does sound like something you'd be interested in, then please proceed and I hope you enjoy the story. If you could give it a thumbs up or leave a comment after I'd be very grateful. I'm especially thankful for any suggestions, as they help give me ideas for other activities in future chapters. If I haven't already included your suggestions in one of these chapters then rest assured I will include them in the future... though I might need to tweak them a bit just to make them fit the story better.
Lastly, I'm looking for an artist who might be willing to illustrate some of the next few chapters for me. If you're an artist, or if you know an artist who might be interested, I'd be very grateful for a chance at collaboration.
Anyway, that's that. Again, thank you and I hope you enjoy. Now, on with the story.

Natasha's eyes snapped open.
Shit! What time is it?
Sunlight was streaming bright and sunny through her cabin window. She glanced over at her clock - 08:48 am.
Dammit! I overslept.
She grabbed her mobile phone from beside the bed and checked her alarm. It was still set and it looked like she completely slept through it. She dialed her 2
nd
purser's number.
"Good morning boss," answered Carlo. "Guess we know who ended up with a hangover eh?"
"Zip it, Carlo. It's not every night your boss decides to treat you to a few drinks. If I were you, I'd be nice about it."
Carlo laughed lightly on the other end. "Ok, fine. What can I do for you, Natasha?"
"I thought I'd go out today, enjoy Florence a bit. Maybe do some shopping. Can you hold down the fort for me?"
"Oh, absolutely. You should go out, Natasha. You've been cooked up on the ship too long. I'll watch over things here in the bank desk."
"Ok, sounds good. I'll check back on you this evening. Call me on my mobile if there's any emergency."
They said their goodbyes and she hung up. She jumped out of bed, momentarily confused to find herself completely naked, till she remembered that Tanos had locked away all her clothes the night before, all except for the set she was supposed to wear outside today.
She went to the bathroom and rushed through her morning routine of cleaning and fixing herself up. She had originally planned to leave early, as soon as the ship docked, so that minimal crew and guests would see her dressed in the slutty attire Tanos was making her wear today.
But it seems she might have drunk a bit more last night than she thought and had ended up sleeping through her alarm. Or maybe it was due to the exhausting experience she had had with Tanos just before she slept. Regardless, it was now late enough in the morning that she wouldn't be able to slip quietly outside without multiple crew and guest seeing her.
Natasha looked at herself in the mirror and winced. She looked like someone who'd been out drinking all night then got some rough fucking just before going to bed... which is exactly what had happened to her. There was no way she was going to allow guest and crew to see her as haggard as this. So, late though she was, she still carefully applied her makeup and fixed herself till she looked presentable. She noticed she had a dark bruise on her neck where Tanos had sucked on it hard last night. Her turtleneck top should be enough to cover it.
Next, she zipped to her couch where she had placed the clothes Tanos had selected for her. There wasn't much. A white, tight-fitting sleeveless turtleneck blouse. A short, tan skater skirt and white open-toed pumps with 3-inch heels. No underwear provided at all. She was finished dressing in under a minute, the fastest she'd ever dressed up for her day.
Natasha looked at herself in the mirror. Her 36D breasts were straining against the white turtleneck, and although the stretchable fabric wasn't exactly thin, her nipples were still clearly outlined to anyone who'd look close enough.
She was glad they were in Italy instead of some of the more conservative countries their cruise ship visited. Hopefully going braless was common enough here that she wouldn't stand out. She decided she was going to leave her hair down for the day to help provide whatever cover it could for her breasts.
Of bigger concern to her was her skirt. It was mid-thigh in length, showing a good amount of her long, toned legs. Normally a mid-thigh skirt was a decent enough length, it certainly wasn't as short as what some of the younger women of today wore. The problem was this skater skirt's fabric was pretty light and it flared out quite a bit... which meant it would be very easy for it to flare up and give someone an accidental upskirt view if she wasn't careful. Considering that she wasn't wearing any panties, she'd need to make sure she was very careful indeed.
