„The rules are quite simple, for we are simple people“, Santiago continued and his men laughed heartily.
„There will be three competitions and after that, we will vote who of you reached which rank. But first, some music. Pedro! Toussaint!“
Two men went down, but soon came back, one carrying a harmonica, the other a banjo. They played a short tune and showed that they both were quite skilled musicians. Somehow, this soothed Yvette and Rita a bit.
„First – strip. Naked. And better give us a good show.“
Now, Yvette, who had still the head of Queena embedded in her lap, feared the blonde would faint once again, but she persisted this time, obviously too petrified to even breathe. Zenobia and Winona looked at each other with uneasiness. Suddenly, Rita straightened, nodded towards Yvette and said:
„Let`s get it done. It´s not that new to us.“
Yvette carefully let Queena down, then, she raised and asked the musicians:
„Do you know the Can-can?“
Both Yvette and Rita had already danced in front of strangers – always erotic and sometimes even in the nude. In addition, all these men had at least already seen their boobs anyway.
As soon as the well known melody started, both fell into the routine of their job. They danced perfectly synchronously, shaking their legs and waving with the hems of their slips, allowing the men to admire their frilly knickers. The pirates hooted, whistled and clasped their hands. It was almost as if they were dancing in a saloon.
Now, the different part began. In one quick movement, almost at the same moment, they took the hems of their slips and pulled them over their heads, leaving them in just their gartered stockings, camisoles and knickers.
Two men almost started a struggle when Yvette and Rita threw the slips in the audience. They all were fascinated by the show, even the man in the crow`s nest. If the U. S. Navy had approached with their whole fleet, the pirates would not have noticed.
Winona thought about jumping into the water, but decided against it. She would not have made it very far, and then, maybe they would tie her to the bowsprit without any competition – or they would continue their game and do something even worse with her.
Now, the camisoles fell. For a while, the girls danced, shaking their bare boobs and driving their audience crazy. Both girls now turned their backs to them, letting their butts bob in the rhzthm of the music. Meanwhile, they both fumbled on the buttons and ribbons of their knickers.
Smiling and taking each other by the hand, they turned their fronts back to the pirates. Now, shaking and wriggling their hips, they shimmied their knickers down their hips and legs. Then, with a broad smile, they made a small jump out of the crumpled garments and bowed to their audience who clasped and howled like mad. Even Winona and Zenobia nearly joined in the applause.
„That was – marvellous! How can anyone top that?“, Santiago yelled, wiping sweat from his forehead.
The music had died down and, whilst Yvette and Rita sat down, still panting from their performance and drinking greedily from the water one of the men offered them, the others looked at the other three women expectantly.
Queena still sat on the planks, her legs bend and her arms slung around them. It was unclear wether she was crying or just waiting for this nightmare to end. Winona took a deep breath and went near Zenobia.
„Join the game, unless you want to become a figurehead!“, she hissed into the black`s ear.
She took Zenobia by the hand and pulled her to the centre.
„Play something more slowly“, she ordered the musicians.
As soon as the music had started, Winona let her hands slide over Zenobia`s sides. First, the half Indian shuddered, but then, she more and more got into it. She began to slowly move her body to the rhythm and started to caress Winona, too.
The musicians did not miss a tone, but the other pirates had fallen completely silent. Now, Winona reached around Zenobia`s body and started working on the knots that held the cloth covering her breasts. Zenobia, not wanting to stay behind, let her fingers wander under Winona`s camisole and kneaded her big boobs. The redhead panted when she squeezed her hardening nipples, then, she took the knot that connected the two cloths over her partner`s breasts between her teeth. She had loosened the knots behind Zenobia`s back and with a quick yank, she ripped away the cloth with her mouth.
Zenobia, now in the game, covered her breasts with her hands, pretending to be shy. But then, she smiled at the pirates and started playing with her boobs and massaging them. Winona put her hands on her hips and let out a short squeal. Then, she quickly took off her camisole and stepped before Zenobia, leaning her backhead against her belly. Slowly, she raised, pushing her body between the other`s arms and breasts. Now, Zenobia massaged the redhead`s boobs, adjusting to her panting. Their hips grinded against each other in their slow dance.
After a while, they stepped away from each other a bit and turned face to face. Then, they pressed their boobs against each other`s. This meant the taller Zenobia had to crouch a bit. Letting their hands wander down their sides, they slowly peeled down each others knickers. Then, they bowed towards a baffled audience, too.
It took several moments before the men started to clasp. Later that evening, all girls thought that this would have been the perfect time to unweapon the pirates and to take over the ship. But both Winona and Zenobia had needed all their strength and concentration to do their show and to forget about the humiliation – and Yvette and Rita just had been fascinated, too.
Santiago sounded quite hoarsly when he ordered Queena to do her performance. However, the blonde Southern belle proved to be an anticlimax to the show. She still did not move an inch. Finally, Santiago ordered the other girls to strip her nude. Queena cried and tried to resist, but when the pirate mentioned that the bowsprit was long enough for at least two persons, they finally ripped her slip and camisole from her and pulled down her knickers, leaving her in only her gartered stockings, too. Queena just hid behind the others, hiding her body with her arms. Yvette put an arm around her and muttered an excuse, but the other woman just shook her off.

„What the hell? Are they celebrating a party?“
Joseph tried to get some details from the ship in his spyglass, but they were too far away to see more than the ship. Obviously, the pirates had no intention to leave and after a while, the men heard scraps of music coming from the ship.
„Well, perhaps they will be drunk by dusk. That would make it easier for us.“
Witty had ordered Reggie and John to take care of the two captives, knowing too well that the southern ladies would not like being manhandled by black hands. Meanwhile, they observed their ship.
Witty had counted six men aboard the cutter, but maybe, there were more. If he counted John and Reggie in, he had eight men. But none of his crew, including himself, was a skilled fighter. In addition, a frontal attack against the cutter would just mean suicide. So, they had worked out a stratagem.
Finally, Witty, who was no hero, but no fool either, had an idea. It would take some preparation and it required a dark night, but it could work out.
„Ah, my black friends are coming. Have you taken care of the women?“
Both nodded.
„Right. I hope, you haven`t taken too many advantages. Now, do you want to join in our plan to regain the ship?“
Both Reginald and John could not remember that anyone had ever asked them if they actually wanted to do something that had to be done. It was a strange feeling, but not bad at all.
Smiling, both men nodded.

„Mhhmmmph! Uhhhmmmmmm! Mph!“
„Hrrrrrr! Mmmmph!“, Xenia answered to her equally bound and gagged companion.
The two former slaves had indeed taken some advantages. Actually, neither Xenia nor Alinda had done them any personal harm, but they represented the old system and earned some of their own medicine. Besides, the colour of their skin made no saints out of Reggia and John. They both were young men and seeing a pretty woman in the nude was just something they both did not want to miss.
After they had forced Xenia and Alinda to strip at gunpoint, John had fetched two long and thick bamboo sticks, each about four yards in length and some three inches in diameter. Whilst John had taken the revolver, Reggie had told the girls to lie on their bellies. Since that meant they could hide their boobs and pussies from being viewed, the both obeyed without hesitating. Then, John took one of the sticks. For a terrible moment, Xenia thought he would whip her, but he just placed it gently on her nude body.
Taking two lengths of rope, he tied her wrists and elbows together behind the stick. Now, xenia looked as if she was tied to a thin and horizontal stake. Taking more rope, he tied her ankles to the stake, too.
Whilst he tied Alinda in the same way, terrible thoughts haunted Xenia`s mind. She had heard about Indians who tied their victims to stakes that were placed into ant hills. Of course, they could just place them in the water, too, leaving them to the crabs or to the tide.
Instead, she felt that something was stuffed intoi her mouth.
„Uuuhmmph! Mhhmmmph! Nnnnnng!“
Xenia fought when she realized that the foul tasting piece of cloth actually was a pair of knickers. She tried to avoid being gagged in such a humiliating way, but Reggie stuffed her mouth full with the silky garment before tying a tight cleave gag between her lips. Then, she felt him knotting the long ends of this cloth to the stake, too, connecting her head to the bamboo stick.
„Hmmmph! Uuuhhhhmmmm!“
Now, she was turned on her belly. She fumed when he examined her thrust out, heaving breasts and playfully brushed some dust from her belly. Then, he slung a double rope around her waist and knotted it off just below her navel, creating a tight belt and letting the long ends dangling.
Since it had been her idea to do that to Zenobia two days earlier, Xenia knew only too well what a crotchrope was, but, bound to the stake as she was, she could not do more than some furious moaning and squirming when Reggie threaded the cord between her legs and turned her back on her belly.
To her surprise, he tied the rope quite loosely. The ropes would hardly touch her, let alone irritate her.
„Johnny, a hand, please.“
The stake stack out on both ends for some yard. The two men took the stake`s ends and heaved them on their shoulders.
„Mmmmmph! Uhhhmmmph! Hrrrrrmmmph! Uhhhmmmm!“
Now, Xenia felt the perfidy of the arrangement. As soon as the stake was lifted from the ground, the middle of her body hung from the crotch rope which now pulled on the soft flesh between her legs. Since her arms and legs carried some of her weight, the position wasn`t actually painful, but very inconvenient and very, very humiliating. The dangling of her body whilst being transported even made things worse.
However, their trip only went for some yards. There, a deep crevice parted a huge rock. Reggie jumped to the other side, causing Xenia to dangle from her stick and moaning helplessly. Here, the crevice was some two and a half yards wide and went down for some three yards. They placed the stick`s ends at the crevice`s edge and secured it with some heavy stones.
Now, Xenia hung helplessly over the gap, with no chance to mitigate her plight. If she struggled too much, the stick might get lose and she would fall. The blonde cried miserably in the panties filling her mouth.
„Aaauuuhhmmmpphh! Mmmmnnnnggggnnnngggg!“
A stifled cry that turned into a gurgling told Xenia that Alinda was getting gagged, too. Indeed, a few minutes later, a similar bound and gagged Alinda was placed just beside her. She was hanging on a crotch rope with her hips and pelvis, too, and screamed into a mouth filling gag.
With horror, Xenia saw a little pink piece of cloth protruding from beneath Alinda`s cleave gag. There had only been one piece of pink amongst their belongings – her panties. That meant that she actually was chewing on the spy`s used underwear!
„Mhhhrrrrrrrmmmmm! Uuuhhmmmmmmmmph! Mph! Mph! Uhhhmmmph!“
„Mhmmmph! Uuhhmmmmm! Nnnng!“, Alinda answered.
„See you in a couple of hours“, they heard Reggie say before the two men let the helplessly dangling, naked and gagged women alone.

„Now, for game number two – it`s rather a competition. Since we need you gagged anaway, you will have to gag each other. But, since this is a competition, do a good job. The one who starts points on his victim who will be held by two of us so the player can do his work. You might try to be too gentle to each other, but be sure, if we have to gag you, you will wish you had done it by yourself.“
The girls hesitated. After what they had endured so far, none of them would have had severe problems by just tying a cloth over one of the other`s mouth or even stuffing it with some cloth. But sure that was not what these perverts had in mind.
To everyone`s surprise, Queena suddenly rose. Her face was still reddened, she was panting heavily and her look told everyone that she was far from being reasonable. She grabbed her discarded panties from the ground and pointed at – Winona.
Before the redhead could react, two pirates had grabbed her arms and forced her to her knees. Queena had stepped before her and bent down to her face, holding the balled up knickers to her mouth.
„You! You have taken these from me! So, you like the taste?“
Winona turned her head from the smelly garment, but Queena had grabbed her hair and yanked her head back, forcing the agent to open her mouth in pain. Energetically, Queena stuffed the garment in Winona`s mouth, forcing her to retch.
„Don`t dare to spit these out!“
„Mhhmmmph!“
Queena reached for one of the camisoles and tore it in half. One of these cloth strips, she tied between Winona`s lips, not before she had pushed the knickers, who had come out a little, back into her throat with grat ferocity. When she had tied the cleave off, she tied the other piece over the redhead`s mouth, further muffling her cries.
„Mhhmmmmph! Uuuuhhnnnnng!“
„There! Enjoy my taste!“
Suddenly, Queena staggered and had to sit down. Again, she slung her arms around her body and started to cry again.
The two pirates sat Winona to the floor.
„Touch your gag, and you will lose your fingers, one by one.“
So, Winona fought down the reflex of ripping the cloths from her mouth and spitting out the vile tasting garment. She still was perplexed by the vigour of Queena`s assault.
Now, Zenobia quickly made a decision. It sure was unfair to attack the crying blonde, but she liked the dancers who had at least been a bit kind and respectful to her. And she would have to top that humiliating show. So, she reached for her knickers and pointed at Queena.
„No! Not you! Not these! Nooouuuuhhmmmmphhhhh!“
Queena really, really fought it when Zenobia worked the fabric between the blonde`s jaws. These knickers were more substantial than those Winona had to chew on. Queena had ben gagged with these panties before, and Zenobia had only worn them for half a day. But zenobia was a slave and so, according to Queena, they were dirty anyway. She retched and fumed and tried to break the two pirate`s grip, but to no avail.
Now, Zenobia stepped over Queena, forcing her down and placing her head between her legs.
„Breathe in! Breathe in deeply!“, she hissed and pressed Queena`s mouth and nose deep into her lap.
„Mhhhhrrrrrrrr! Hrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm!“
Zenobia could feel the vibrations of Queena`s screams in her pussy. She panted heavily and had to force herself to calm down and reach for a camisole which she tore apart. She put a knot in the middle of one of them, then she tied it between the blonde`s lips, who, once freed from between the other`s lap, greedily sucked in fresh air through her nose. Zenobia tied the other strip over Queena`s mouth. Then, it was her turn to recognize how she had just fallen on primitive instincts.
„S-sorry. I-I didn`t wa-want to-“
But Queena did not listen. Since she now was gagged and had gagged another person, Santiago ordered her wrists and elbows to be tied before she was placed on the ground.
Zenobia, still horrified about how cruel she had become, had to sit down, too. This girl had done her nothing! She was just a spoiled rich thing and hadn`t learned to treat people better – especially people wo had a darker complexion. Anyway, now, she had to pay for any crime she and her ancestors may have committed.
Quite unceremoneously, the two dancers gagged each other with each other`s knickers and tied strips from their slips over it, one as a cleave and one as an OTM gag for each of them. Even Winona had to admit that this was rather perfunctory.
Now, it would be her turn to gag Zenobia. The pirates had already tied her and the two dancers at wrists and elbows.
Winona rose and reached for the only pair of knickers left, her own. She felt pity for the other woman for she hadn`t changed them for over a week now, but if she would chose just an ordinary piece of cloth, she would lose this round.
„Mhhmmph!“
„Sorry, girl.“, she thought. Obviously, Zenobia understood.
„Get it done!“, she breathed and parted her full lips.
Ostendatively, Winona turned the knickers inside out before stuffing them into Zenobia`s mouth. The half Indian retched when she tasted Winona`s body and smelled her fragrance, but she persisted until all of the garment was in her mouth. Now, Winona tied a knotted strip of cloth between her lips, holding the gag in.
„Mmmmph! Nng!“
„Sorry girl, but I play for to win.“
With gestures, Winona announced Santiago that she had to go below deck. Raising his eyebrows, he allowed that.
After a minute, Winona came back, holding the leather hood in her hand.
„Mhhmph? Mhhmmmmmm! Nnnnnnnnnggg!“
Zenobia had only seen the hood once, when Alinda had worn it, but she definitely did not like the thought of being blindfolded as well.
„Mhhmmmmmmm! Uuuuhhmmmmmmph!“
Drawing by hugues66
Two pirates had to grab her bound arms whilst two others grabbed her flailing legs. Santiago hel her raven scalp. Only the man in the crow`s nest did not participate.
„Mhhhmmmmph! Nnnnngggg! Hhhrrrrrrrr! Mph!“
Despite the five men`s assistance, Winona really had to fight to get the hood over Zenobia`s head. Now, the leather plug pressed the knickers even deeper into her throat. Her cheeks bulged against the unyielding leather of the mask and the cleave now dug even tighter into her skin.
„Uhn! Gllg“
When a sweating and panting Winona had buckled the final strap under the other`s chin, Zenobia could only utter the faintest of sounds. She breathed heavily through her nose.
„Luckily, her nose`s quite big. With a pug like mine, she would sure choke“, Winona thought involuntarily.
When the men released her, Zenobia rose up and staggered a few steps before she obviously tried to kick in the direction where she thought Winona was standing. But she only hit the air, slipped and only the grip of a pirate kept her from falling.
When all girls were sitting and had more or less found a way to cope with the fact that another woman`s used underwear filled their cheeks, Santiago raised again.
„Now, the final game!“
***
Meanwhile, Witty and his men had not been lazy. They had prepared two huge logs, each some 15 feet in length and half carried, half pulled them into the sea. There, they had tied smaller logs to the sides to prevent these logs from turning upside down. These rafts, they moored to the starboard sides of their two boats. On the boats, they had prepared other logs and, last but not least, two lamps.
Now, all they could do was to wait for the night to come.
***
„In our final game, I will replace Larry in the crow`s nest, because we are six men and only five women, and it woud be unfair otherwise.“
„Mhhmmm! Uuhhmmm! Ghhmmmmph!“
The girls got quite exited! Was he talking about-?
„Don`t be afraid, my men will keep their pants on“, Santiago laughed, „but I am afraid it will be an attack on their self-control anyway. But, I am sure, not half as much as it will affect your sense of modesty!“
These words did little to soothe the girls`s fears, but when Larry had left his post, Santiago continued:
„Its just a simple task: tease a man!“
„Mhhmmm?“
The quizzically mew came almost unisono.
„Yes, it`s that easy. Just show us how you would try to seduce a man. Any woman can do so if she can use her hands or her mouth. But for you, it`s a bit more sophisticated. But, don`t be afraid. Since I need my men physically fit for the night, each of you will only be given three minutes. And – each has to chose another one, just to be fair.“
The girls were petrified. After all the humiliations they had endured, this was just one step too many! They all mmphed and shook their heads.
„As you like! Let`s see if the bowsprit holds the weight of all of you!“
„Mhhmmph!“
With a faint, but determined groan, Yvette rose and went over to Pedro, the most clean of the pirates. She sat on his lap and started to wriggle her hips and butt. It was a rather clumsy than erotic performance, since Yvette hat to fight for balance at the same time, but obviously Pedro liked it and seemed disappointed when the three minutes were over.
Now, Rita sat astride the next man. She moved up and down, pressing her boobs in his face and against his chest. Rita groaned through her gag and accelerated her moves, obviously getting aroused, too.
„What an interesting thing the human psyche is“, Santiago thought, „I wonder if someone ever has written about that!“
Finally, Rita had to be dragged away from the man and a wet glistering between her legs told the bystanders that she was nearly as disappointed about the interruption than him.
„Now, black beauty, do better than that!“
It wasn`t Zenobia`s problem that, blindfolded as she was, she hadn`t seen what she should excel. Her problem wasn`t the humiliation either. The fact was, that, despite the stories people told about blacks and Indians and descendants of both races especially, she just did not have much experience with sexual intercourse. She had only slept with two men so far (luckily, on both occasions it had been consensual acts), but the fact that she was a pretty girl had alwas been enough. Men had tried to seduce her, not vice versa.
So, when she was placed on „her“ man`s lap, she just did not know what to do. she moved and wriglled her hips a bit and tried to press her breast against the man`s chest, but she could feel it that the man hardly was aroused and when the three minutes were over, he seemed almost glad she was gone.
However, Winona did even worse. Being a spy, she had of course quite often seduced men into telling her some secrets. The problem was that her tactic was to talk seductively and to play „hard to get“. But with her mouth thoroughly gagged, she could not talk at all and playing hard to get was quite difficult if she was stark naked and sitting on a man`s lap.
So, she lolled about a bit, but to no avail. When she tried to playfully push her head against his, she knocked his chin, causing the man to bite his tongue and the others to burst out laughing. Santiago interupted the fiasco.
Again, it was Queena who surprised them all. Obviously, she had reached the point where modesty and social standards no longer existed and only atavistic feelings and the will to survive reigned.
She rose up and went to the one man left. She rose her leg and for a short moment, everyone thought she would kick him in his groins and secure her place at the bowsprit.
However, Queena caressed the man`s crotch with her big toe until he breathed hard and one could see that he liked the performance.
„Hrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm!“
With a throaty groan, Queena suddenly jumped astride him, so vigorously the man landed on his back. Queena pressed her knees in his sides and moved her hips and upper body as if she was on a rodeo and the man a wild mustang.
„Mhhhhrrrr! Uuhhhmmmmm! Mhhhmmmmm! Nnnnnngg! Hrrrrrrr!“
Her eyes looked like that of a valkyrie or an ancient goddess and she continued to ride the man who almost looked frightened.
„Mhhhrrrrrrrmmmmm! Uuuhhmmmmmmph!“
When the three minutes were over, the man showed that even this short period of time had been too long for him. One of his colleagues spilled a bucket full of water over his crotch to help him recover. All other pirates were a bit envious, though they covered it with laughter.
Queena still trembled a bit when she was seated beside Winona and the redhead now felt even more like an amateur.
Santiago again had longed for his handkerchief to get the sweat from his forehead. He had played such games before, but this had been much, much more intense than he had expected. It seemed that fear, humiliation and lust were lying close together in the human brain.
„L-let`s see who the w-winner is“, he said, slightly stammering.
