NATALIE'S THESIS by Joe Doe GRADUATE STUDENT NATALIE USES A TIME MACHINE TO QUANTUM LEAP THROUGH HISTORY. BUT, WITH A LUSTFUL PROFESSOR CHOOSING HER ASSIGNMENTS, SHE SOMETIMES HAS TROUBLE FINDING ANYTHING TO WEAR. [Part 1] Natalie, well-trained in both history and languages, was the only student in the history department who knew about the time machine that Prof. Searchem had invented. The professor was Natalie's thesis supervisor, and the time machine quickly became an invaluable research tool. In her first assignment, she had gone back in time to meet Alexander the Great. Unfortunately, Alexander quickly vanquished Natalie's husband's army. Queen Natalie was forced to march stark naked and in chains behind Alexander's chariot, past cheering, leering throngs. The crowd was not shy about shouting out their assessments of her charms, and they predicted delicious moments for her when Alexander finally turned her over to his men for "humbling." With her hands chained behind her back, she was totally exposed for the crowd's examination, and she would have given anything for even a scrap of clothing. The parade was a long one, and Natalie found herself staring at the rump of Alexander's horse in order to distract herself from the lewd comments and whistles all around her. She was nonetheless pleased to report that, later that night, Alexander took her to his tent and lived up to his name. ****************************** Natalie enjoyed the first few days of her next role as the pampered daughter of a Roman Senator. But, when her father was falsely accused of treason, she was stripped naked and marched to the slave market. For days on end, the proud patrician was subjected to the humiliating probings of her former "friends" who now delighted in treating her like a piece of meat. She was particularly enraged during a visit from Senator Pabulum's wife, knowing that she was the one who had framed her father and arranged his downfall. "Oh, Natalia!" the woman said in mock sympathy. "How terrible to see you here. It must be dreadful to be chained to the wall with a dog collar. I must buy you and get you out of here." The old cow smiled down at the blushing "Natalia" and crisply issued her next command. "Why don't you slip out of your delightful little slave tunic so that I can have a better look at you? After all, if I'm going to own you, I have to know how I'm going to use you." Natalie could see that Lady Pabulum had brought two of Natalie's former slaves just to make the "examination" all the more humiliating. But as she watched the tubby Senator's wife tap the little whip meaningfully against her palm, she knew she had no choice but to obey each degrading command. Natalie bushed furiously as she slid the tunic off her shoulders and let it slide down her body to form a useless pile at her feet. "Not bad...in a common sort of way," Lady Pabulum said, tweaking Natalie's exposed nipples with the whip. "Not good enough for MY GUESTS, but some of your former stable slaves might find your tiny grapes amusing." She turned to one of Natalie's former slaves, who was eyeing the naked, blushing Natalie with obvious delight. "I tipped the slave dealer, and he agreed that I could get a small demonstration of Natalia's oral talents, to see if she was ANY use at all." She turned back to Natalie and smiled. "Why don't you get on your knees, you little slut, and show your former slave what that sassy mouth of yours is good for?" Natalie had never been so humiliated in her life, but she obediently got down on her knees in front of her arch-enemy and pleasured her former slave. Lady Pabulum made Natalie stick out her tongue and show her the gooey load before ordering her to swallow every drop. Lady Pabulum didn't buy Natalie that day, although she did return almost every day thereafter with someone who knew Natalie in her former glory. Lady Pabulum always had some fresh way to humble and shame the Senator's blushing daughter, and delighted in reminding everyone of how haughty Natalie had been when she had been a "person." One day she brought along a love-sick Senator's son who had unsuccessfully tried to win Natalie's heart. Natalie hated having to bend over and grab her ankles in front of a clod she had repeatedly turned down for dates. But the smiles and sly comments from her former slaves were far worse, and she was almost relieved when her former suitor finally purchased her after proving her physical fitness through an extended game of "naked fetch." That night in bed, Natalie realized that she had made a mistake, and she should have married the clod when she'd had the chance. ****************************** Her next assignment, as the wife of Leofric, Saxon earl of Mercia, seemed easy, although she couldn't understand why all of her servants wanted so desperately to cut her long hair. Their motives became clear, though, when she walked out to the stable yard with her grinning maid and the smirking stable master. All of the leering servants were standing around in a circle in front of an enormous white stallion. "Good news, m'lady," the maid said, with a chuckle. "The marketplace is NICE AND BUSY today, and EVERYONE is waiting for you there. It's a PERFECT time for you to go on a nice LONG ride." "The stable lads will lead the horse for you, m'lady, so that we can make sure the horse doesn't go too fast, and you'll have a nice SLOW ride through Coventry's busy streets," the stable master added, slyly. "The horse I shod for you is a nice tall one, m'lady," the grinning blacksmith said. "It will give everyone...I mean, YOU...a perfect view!" Natalie was confused by their obvious pleasure in her ride until she saw her name embroidered on the saddlecloth: GODIVA She blushed as she reached for the top button of her gown. Eagerly her servants moved in for a closer look.... ****************************** Natalie had been excited to finally escape to America, since the language and accents were easier. It had been a thrill to land with the pilgrims, but her modern and liberated ways soon earned her a trip to the village stocks. She wasn't surprised when a group of the local ruffians sneaked back to the stocks and stripped her naked as the day she was born. But she was surprised when the town elders decreed that her "shameful nakedness" was evidence of her "strumpetry" and sentenced her to a paddling in front of the entire town. She knew that her kicking legs and squirming bottom provided quite a show. The crowd's shouts of "Make her dance," and "Show us some fur again, Miss Prissy!" caused her face to burn almost as brightly as her bottom. Having to spend another day in the stocks stark naked was even worse. The "decent" women of the town simply glared at her, while the others winked at her or rubbed their backsides in mock sympathy. The obscene comments and hand gestures from the men were even more degrading. The ruffians were back that night, and, although she never saw their faces, she knew that each one left there a very pleased pilgrim.... And she was one very satisfied sinner. ****************************** As the wife of the Royal Governor of Massachusetts, Natalie was able to meet many of the founding fathers and gather fascinating information about Colonial America. But, when the Colonies rose against England, the angry mob stripped her naked as a jaybird and marched her through the streets of Boston to the Common. Despite her previous experiences with colonial justice, she still blushed crimson as the town scum loudly assessed her naked charms. The revolutionary leaders took their time applying the tar and feathers, and used it as an excuse to reveal and probe her most intimate places before the laughing, drunken mob. Natalie gained a whole new appreciation for Alexander Hamilton's insight that too much democracy is mob rule. Although the tar and feathers were quite uncomfortable, riding the bouncing rail through the town was actually rather pleasurable.... ****************************** In the early 19th century, Britannia ruled the waves, and Natalie enjoyed sailing through the Mediterranean to meet her husband. As the wife of an English colonel, she was treated with deference and respect on board, at least until the Barbary pirates attacked. The black seamen regarded white infidel women as animals, and the beautiful aristocratic ladies were soon stripped naked and chained together flat on their backs in the stinking hold of the ship. Natalie had the feet of two other women pressed against the side of her head most of the trip, and she actually looked forward to the times when the cruel pirates would take the women out of the hold and "dance" them on the deck. Of course, since she wasn't a virgin, she had to "entertain" the lusty seamen while she was up top. But she was happy, because they first scrubbed her down with rough brushes and seawater to wash the "white stink" off of her. The seawater felt good, and Natalie quickly realized that the more pleasing she was, the longer she got to stay on deck. She soon became a favorite of captain and crew alike. The slave market was crowded, and there was something indescribably shameful about being made to stand naked on the block in front of the sea of dark faces. But the auctioneer's description of her performance on the ship and his remorseless display of every inch of her naked flesh ensured that the blushing beauty fetched a fine price. ****************************** Her time on the auction block helped solidify Natalie's views on the evils of slavery and racism, and she was pleased to find that her next assignment was with a group of Northern Abolitionists in the days before the American Civil War. She and several of her white sisters assured high attendance by closing each meeting with a demonstration of the horrors that their black sisters were subjected to in the plantation South. One by one, the proud white women were marched onto the stage wearing nothing but cheap white shifts or old potato sacks. A group member pretending to be a "slave trader" would then invite eager audience members up on stage to "examine the merchandise." There was never a problem getting volunteers from the audience. On one memorable evening, Natalie was led out into a crowded courtyard wearing nothing but an old grain sack held in place by a shoe lace tied in a bow around her neck. To her horror, she saw that "the buyer" who came up to inspect her was none other than Col. Andrew Alexander. She had gotten into a spirited argument with Col. Alexander at an elegant dinner party the evening before. He had argued that women were best suited for traditional roles, and she had playfully proved him wrong by humorously besting him at every opportunity during the conversation. Her sparkling wit had been the hit of the party, even if the enraged Col. Alexander did leave early. She shivered as she saw her elegantly dressed arch-enemy approach the block for a "pre-sale examination." Col. Alexander had been chosen for tonight's festivities because he was familiar with the slave markets of the South and knew how to make a wench show her wares. Natalie felt her buttocks clench as she saw the colonel exchange his walking stick for a short riding crop. The "auctioneer" explained the bogus "cover story" to the colonel and the crowd. Natalie was a lovely young Yankee who was supposed to have come south to claim an inheritance, but it was then discovered that she was "in fact" 1/32 black...and thus legally a slave. The auctioneer gently suggested that, since she had been raised as a genteel white lady, Col. Alexander should try to respect her modesty as much as possible. "Bosh!" he replied. "I wouldn't buy a cow without seeing her udders...particularly a cow with such tiny titties as this one," he said, flicking his crop against her chest contemptuously. "The last thing we need is some fair-skinned darky acting like a white woman. She's a nigger, and, where I come from, all slaves are auctioned "nigger naked." With that, he reached behind Natalie's neck and slowly, teasingly, undid the knot. The crowd held its breath, wondering if he would really strip the beautiful, well-educated beauty naked for all to see. They gasped when the knot at last gave way, and the old sack slid off to reveal Natalie's charms. As the colonel had demanded, she was now indeed "nigger naked." The inspection could begin. Natalie stared at her feet, too deeply humiliated to face the crowd. But the colonel would have none of that and used his crop to lift her face so that she could see the amused expressions of the men and women who were gawking at her. Then he used the crop to move her hands to her sides, ensuring that she was totally exposed. The night before, she had been the belle of the ball and had laughed and danced and flirted with the same people who now looked at her with undisguised lust, amusement, and contempt. Although there were many smiles and whispers as she stood naked and exposed before the throng, there wasn't a sympathetic expression in the yard. "I can see that, with those tiny dairies, she doesn't have much black blood in her," the colonel sniggered, nudging his crop against her nipples. "That flicker in her eyes shows a glint of intelligence, but the crop will soon teach this little savage not to be so uppity!" He ran his fingers approvingly through her brown hair and expertly examined her teeth, ears, and eyes as if he were buying a prize horse. He poked her with the crop, and she obediently turned, exposing her lovely backside to the "Abolitionists" who would soon be bidding on her naked charms. The colonel expertly ran his hands up and down her legs. Then he picked up her feet as if shoeing a horse, forcing her to awkwardly hop on one foot as he examined her delicate soles. He ordered her to place her hands on top of her head, punctuating his command by tapping his crop against her bare bottom. Flushed and humiliated, she quickly obeyed. To her horror, she felt the crop tapping against the insides of her thighs, and he commanded her to "spread your legs...nice and wide. And don't try any of your monkeyshines!" She spread her legs, but hesitated for a moment when he then commanded her to "bend over, and put your paws flat on the block. Stick that nigger rump of yours up in the air nice and high." Her resistance to the demeaning command was met with a sharp SWISH! of the riding crop across her naked backside. "Don't get fancy with me, wench!" the colonel thundered. "I'll chain you in the breeding shed with a dozen coal black bucks until you've learned your place." Natalie submissively bent over in the required position and tried to ignore the titters from the ladies and the approving comments from the gentlemen as her most intimate secrets were brazenly exposed. The colonel handled her quickly and skilfully, manipulating her privates and pointing out to the crowd what a "hot, wet bitch" she was. Then he invited the audience to come up and "examine the merchandise" before the auction began. It was bizarre to Natalie that the same men who had doffed their hats and bowed when they were introduced to her just a few hours before would now slap her bare bottom if she didn't jump high enough when ordered. Chivalry had disappeared as quickly as her lovely ball gown. The female "buyers" used their hands less, but they seemed to delight in making her squat and fetch and jump to "show off the goods." Natalie had expected a bit of sympathy from the women who had so recently been treating her like a sister, but, if anything, they seemed to delight in her humiliation even more than the men. The conclusion of the evening's activities was a "mock auction" in which the Natalie and the other women Abolitionists were auctioned off as "slaves for the night" in order to raise money for their cause. During her extensive tour, Natalie had raised thousands of dollars and met nearly every important political figure of the impending Civil War. Col. Alexander wasn't the only future leader of the Confederacy to attend. Ostensibly they came to denounce the unfairness of the "Yankee propaganda." But Natalie noticed that the fine Southern gentlemen and their wives were always the first in line for the examinations, and they were never stingy during the auctions. ****************************** During the days that led up to the Spanish-American War, Natalie once again found herself at sea. The Spanish attacked her ship, and, under the guise of "looking for papers," the Spanish captain ordered that the most beautiful American women be brought on deck for a public strip-search. Although the Spaniard told the other passengers and the crew that they could go below decks in order to "espare the delicate sensibilities of the women," everyone on board agreed that they should watch the whole procedure from start to finish in order to lend the furiously blushing women "moral support." Natalie didn't like having to strip to the buff in front of the British cabin steward who had spent the previous evening polishing her riding boots. The smile on his face did not seem to be overly supportive. "It's about time someone taught these bloody American bitches a lesson," she heard him sneer as she stood naked on the deck, her hands clasped tightly behind her head. The search was bad enough, but, when she reached shore, she was horrified to find that news of the incident had spread like wild-fire, thanks to the yellow press. The Hearst newspapers, in particular, had splashed Natalie's pictures and lascivious accounts of her ordeal across the front pages for days on end. Natalie was greeted with knowing smirks and sly winks wherever she went, and the "War Bonds" tour turned into quite a chore. ****************************** As a double agent during the waning days of the Second World War, Natalie was able to uncover a treasure trove of information about both German Intelligence and the French Resistance. When she was arrested after the war as a "collaborator," she naturally turned to her friends in the Resistance to establish her innocence, but they insisted that even now her work was too important to "blow her cover." But Natalie had very little cover to maintain when she was stripped naked and marched through the streets of Paris. The crowd cheered lustily as her head -- and other more sensitive areas of her anatomy -- were shaved as bare as a billiard ball. Natalie wasn't surprised to see the local scum turn out to see her beauty exposed, but she was surprised to see that all of her "friends" in the Resistance had gotten themselves front row seats, and led the cheers to "shave her bare!" ****************************** Natalie's assignments had been chosen by Prof. Searchem, and she had to admit that he had done a good job of selecting a variety of times and places that illuminated the roles women played in various historical periods. But she was amazed that, no matter where (or when) she went, she always seemed to end up naked. She joked that she should change the title of her thesis to "Guys Never Change." The time machine also offered Prof. Searchem the opportunity to record each of her adventures, and she noticed that he seemed to watch the videos of her various ordeals over and over again. The professor was obviously a man who loved his work, but Natalie was starting to suspect that he might have an ulterior motive. She was pleased that her next assignment was in the recent past, since it required less research prior to her trip. It seemed that there had been reports a few years back that a Deputy Duffy had been improperly detaining female suspects, and she was sent to investigate the interrelationship of "Law Enforcement, Traffic Stops, and Gender-Based Profiling in Early 21st Century Vermont." She was dressed in just a halter top, sneakers, and denim shorts as her red convertible cruised down the road doing seventy miles an hour. The radio was so loud she didn't hear the siren behind her.... Edited by C. Lakewood
