When they went to bed, Luke had tied Leias’ hands and feet, so the first thing he did the following morning, was to set her free. After they had taken a shower, they went back to her room and she took out the clothes, a leotard and pantyhose, he would be wearing for the day, from her closet.
“You haven’t changed your mind about the clothes, I hope?†she asked. He said he hadn’t and put them on. Then they went down and had breakfast. When they had eaten, she told him to put his hands together in front of him, so she could tie them together. She tied his feet, the same way as he had done yesterday, so he could walk and climb stairs but not run. Then they went back to his room and she tied his hands and feet to the bed. Then she said:†As you tickled me almost senseless yesterday, while I was tied to my bed, so shall I tickle you today.†She immediately began doing that, by digging her fingers into his ribs and sides, scratching him as she went along. She kept on doing that for about five minutes until he said that if she didn’t allow him a bathroom-brake soon, he’d have a wet bed. She released him from the bed and took him there.
She kept up the tickle-torture sessions for most of the morning. But after lunch, she said that it was such a lovely day, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. She took him by his bound hands and started dragging him towards the patio-doors. When he realized what she was about to do, he started protesting, saying he didn’t want to go out there, dressed like this. Leia found she had gone deaf for the moment. Ignoring her brothers’ pleas, she dragged him, by this time kicking and screaming as much as he could, to a post standing in the middle of the lawn. There she released his hands, only to tie them behind the post. She then secured his waist and his knees to the post with ropes, after which she went into the house again. When she came back, she was wearing a bikini and holding some strips of cloth in one hand, and a blanket in her other. She put the blanket on the grass in front of him, but out of kicking-distance (just to be on the safe side), and put one of the strips of cloth in his mouth and tied it in place with the other, knotting it of behind the post. Then she lay down on the blanket to do some sun-bathing.
After about an hour of that, she asked him if he was thirsty. As he had the cloth in his mouth, all he could do was nod. “I suspect you are quite hot as well aren’t you? Those pantyhose you’re wearing were actually the thickest I could find. And the sun being so bright doesn’t cool you off any, I suppose. Wait there and I’ll get us both something to drink, and then I’ll set up some kind of sun protection for you.â€
She went into the house again, and came back holding two glasses of ice cold water, one of them with a straw, in her hands. When they had emptied the glasses, she put up a parasol, so he could have some shade, if he needed.
About half-way through the afternoon, Leia said she’d had enough sunbathing, so she freed Luke’s hands and tied them in front of him, before untying the rest of the ropes. She then walked him indoors again and up to his bedroom.
He looked her angrily. “What?†she said in her sweetest voice. “Didn’t you like being outdoors on this beautiful day? Or are you upset because the neighbours might have seen something? Relax, will you! It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It was just the two of us sunbathing. Granted, you were dressed a bit uncommonly, but so are a lot of people, when they’re at home.†She tied him back in bed, tickled him for about five minutes and then left him to calm down.
At dinner that evening, (which he had a hard time eating, because of his hands being tied together) and all through the night they didn’t say a word to each other, but he was plotting his revenge!
