Here’s the 5th and final chapter of “Soft Bodies.”
Previously…
Part 1

Part 4
To be honest… there’s not any serious tickling in it. I wrote it as the last section of Part 4, but then thought it was too long, so I divided it up. But when I went back to read this part, I realized there wasn’t a “serious” tickling scene.
I actually considered not posting it, but the completist in me wanted to wrap it up. There are some mentions of tickling, a little sensual tickling, and some softcore f/f sexiness as Maki and Bindy “make nice.” For the more serious tickling (in as much as any of my stuff could be called “serious”), there’s plenty of it in the earlier chapters. Judging by readership, a lot of people seemed to like Part 2, though I suspect that’s because I posted some images down the thread a bit…
But overall, I’ve received a lot of nice comments on “Soft Bodies,” including some people who contacted me privately, and I’m really happy people seem to like this one. Thank you very much.
Now, let’s wrap this up…

Soft Bodies — Part 5
Rain was pattering on the portholes when I woke the next morning, sprawled on my stomach. Maki was already up, getting dressed after a quick shower and a brisk toweling. The flyer bounced a little as it hit some turbulence. “Wake up, sleepy,” Maki said as she tugged a black tank top with tiny spaghetti straps over her torso. “I’d better go up to the cockpit. This weather doesn’t seem that severe, but I think I’ll take the controls for a while. Better safe than sorry.”
She clambered on the bed and pressed herself against my back. “You were very sweet to me last night,” she whispered, gently biting my ear. “Don’t think I don’t appreciate it. But those healing hands of yours aren’t finished yet.”
“Hmmm?”
“You need to take care of our guest,” she said. She hopped off the bed, swatting me on my butt. “Be nice. Remember, she did help us escape.”
“Oh, I’ll be nice,” I said. “But will you? Or are you going to keep her locked up the whole time?”
“Bindy and I are even, as far as I’m concerned,” Maki said. “I promise I’ll be nice to her the whole way back.”
Our guest was still asleep when I brought her some food. Her nerves were still frazzled from her treatment by Maki the night before, but she was quite enthusiastic about accepting the comfort I offered her…
*****
Bindy seemed quite nervous when she joined me in the main cabin some time later. She had showered, and wore only a towel wrapped around her generous hips and knotted on one side. It was obvious she thought Maki would be busy in the cockpit; our pilot surprised her when she suddenly walked into the small room. “Why, hello,” Maki said. “You had a nice, long rest. I hope you’re feeling refreshed.”
Maki’s tone was friendly, but Bindy looked terrified. She backed away, bumping up against the wall behind her. “What are you going to do with me?”
“Do with you? What do you mean?”
Bindy suddenly dropped to her knees, her hands clasped together in front of her. “Oh please,” she cried, her voice trembling and her eyes staring up at Maki. “Please have mercy on me… I’m just a poor peasant girl… I know I’m your captive here, but I’m begging you… please… don’t torture me like that again… I’ll do anything you want, I swear …”
Maki seemed genuinely shocked. “No, no, no… get up…” She took a gentle grip on Bindy’s upper arms and guided her to her feet. “There’s no need for that. Didn’t he tell you that I consider us even?”
“Y-yes, he did…”
“Well, I meant it,” Maki said. “There’s nothing to worry your pretty little head about. We’re taking you back to Citadel Island, just like we promised, and whatever happened between us at Lady Jaxx’s is behind us. You’re a guest on this ship, as far as I’m concerned, with all the rights and courtesies of anyone from Citadel Island.”
“Thank you,” Bindy gasped. “I know I owe both of you a lot for taking me with you. I promise I won’t cause any trouble…”
“And you have my promise, as the pilot of this ship and a member of the Citadel’s Security Force, that I won’t lay a finger on you during the journey home. Okay?”
“Okay…”
“Good. Now I have to go back to the cockpit. You calm down, and we can talk later.”
That seemed to mollify Bindy a little bit, though I could tell she was still wary of Maki. Maki returned to the cockpit, and I went back to filling out the official report of the mission that the Citadel would require upon our return. Left to her own devices, I thought Bindy would go back to her small cabin, but instead, she seemed eager to make herself “useful” to the two of us. If a woman Bindy’s size could be said to “bustle,” then “bustle” she did, tidying up the cabins and, later, preparing food and serving us, even cleaning up afterwards. “You don’t have to do that,” I told her after the three of us had eaten our mid-day meal. “Like Maki said, you’re our guest.”
“You rescued me,” she said. “It’s the least I can do. And I want to keep myself busy…”
Bindy was still wearing only the knotted towel. It made all the bustling a lot more interesting and distracting.
“Well, thank you anyway,” Maki said. “It’s nice not to have to deal with that stuff.” I noticed her watching Bindy as the blonde wriggled her curvaceous form through the narrow door to the galley. “You can put some clothes on if you want,” Maki said. “I don’t know if I have anything that would fit you, but I’m sure there’s something you can squeeze into. You’re welcome to look.”
“I’m okay for now.”
“Well, ok, if you’re comfortable…” Maki stood up. “I’m going back to the cockpit. Have you ever flown one of these things, Bindy?”
Bindy gave a snort of laughter. “Me? No! I’ve never even been in one before.”
“It’s easy. I’ll show you how. Come on.”
The two went up to the cockpit, where a few minutes later a sudden dip indicated that Bindy had taken the controls. I heard the two women laughing and chatting up front as Maki showed her how to operate the flyer. Eventually the flight evened out, and a while later, Maki came back and asked me to help Bindy for a bit while she had a rest. I sat at Bindy’s side while she piloted the flyer until nightfall, when Bindy started fixing dinner, and Maki woke from her nap.
After dinner, Maki asked if I could take the controls again, just until we reached certain coordinates. “After that, you can set the automatic pilot for the night,” she said. “It shouldn’t be long. I want to start on those reports.”
I was happy to help her out, so I went up front while Bindy cleaned up and Maki started her paperwork. I heard them talking back in the cabin as I flew, but couldn’t make out what they were saying. It wasn’t too long before I reached the designated coordinates and set the flyer on automatic. I started back to the main cabin. The women’s voices had started up again after several minutes of silence, and I paused in the galley to listen to them. Part of me was worried Maki might try to trick Bindy while I was otherwise occupied, and I wanted to get an idea of how they were getting along when they thought I wasn’t watching. The light in the galley was dim, and I slunk back in the shadows, intending to just watch and listen a few moments before joining them.
Bindy was standing in the middle of the cabin, while Maki had her head down over the table, filling out a form. “Are you sure I can’t get you anything?” Bindy asked.
“Thank you, but I’m sure,” Maki said. She looked up, tucked the form away, and folded the table up into a panel in the wall. Then she smiled up at Bindy.
“Are you still scared of me?”
“Well… just a little.”
“What can I do to put you at your ease?”
“Oh please. It’s just me being silly. You’ve been so nice to me all day. Both of you have. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me.”
“But without you, we’d still be Lady Jaxx’s prisoners. We owe you a lot, too. What you did was very brave.”
“I don’t know about brave,” Bindy said. “Really, I’m a big softy.”
“A lot of people think I’m a softy,” Maki said. “It just means they underestimate us.”
“You may look like a softy to some, but you’re not,” Bindy said. “I really am.”
“I’m not as tough as I seem.”
“But you endured Lady Jaxx’s torture device,” Bindy said. “I don’t know anyone who could do that. I turn to jelly just thinking about it.”
“Well, it wasn’t easy for me. I barely made it. And you… well, you may be a ‘big softy,’ but you’re a big brave softy.” Bindy laughed, a flush spreading across her creamy skin.
“Look at you blush!” Maki said. “You walk around the flyer nearly naked all day long, but I pay you a compliment and suddenly you get all shy! Well, if you really are a ‘big softy,’ as you say, then doing what you did only makes you more brave, as far as I’m concerned.” Maki got up and stood very close to Bindy. “Close your eyes,” she said softly.
I could tell Bindy was nervous, but she closed her eyes.
“Maki would like to thank you,” Maki whispered. “Don’t be scared. Okay?”
Bindy gave a nervous titter. “Okay…”
“Now, Maki is putting her hands behind her back…” Raising up on her toes just a bit, Maki leaned forward and gently pressed her lips against Bindy’s. Bindy jumped at first, startled, but didn’t pull away. Maki held the kiss for a few seconds before she slowly disengaged with a slight “smacking” sound.
“There,” she said. She continued to stand in front of Bindy, very close. The taller girl’s eyes fluttered open, a big grin on her face. “Thank you, Bindy.”
Bindy started to stammer a reply, but Maki hushed her. “Maki so is so sorry for what she did to you last night,” she said. “She wasn’t herself. Will you let her make it up to you?”
“Of course…”
“May she kiss you again?”
Bindy nodded.
“Good. Now close your eyes…” Once again Maki, her hands still behind her back, rose up on her toes and kissed Bindy. But this time, the kiss went on for much longer. Bindy placed her hands on Maki’s upper arms, steadying her, while Maki kept her hands behind her back. When the kiss finally broke they both looked flushed and were breathing heavily.
Maki took a step back. She smiled at Bindy as she quickly stripped in front of her, discarding first her shirt, then her shorts until she was clad only in her underpants. They kissed again, pressing closer this time, though Maki still kept her hands clasped behind her back. Bindy caressed the darker girl’s upper arms and shoulders.
“May Maki touch you?” she whispered hoarsely when they next broke.
“Oh, yes…”
“Maki can be nice.” Her hand caressed Bindy’s cheek. “Let Maki show you how nice she can be.”
Bindy gasped out an assent. Maki began gently stroking her all over, using light touches to make her shiver and coo. When her fingertips fluttered across a breast Bindy jumped and giggled, but made no move to pull away as Maki continued to touch her there. One particularly delicious touch sent a shudder through Bindy that made the towel come loose from her hips and slide to the floor.
“Maki is so sorry… she’s so sorry… “ Her hands stroked Bindy’s hips and sides. “She tortured you so terribly… she was so cruel… and you’re so sensitive… can you forgive Maki?… she’s so sorry…”
“Ohhh…”
“… she shouldn’t have been so mean… to such a sweet, sensitive girl… a girl who saved her… please, let Maki make it up to you … will you let her make you feel good… after she made you suffer so…?” Her hands slid across Bindy’s belly, sides and hips, caressed her shoulders and arms, brushed her chest. Bindy gasped and shivered, her eyes close.
As I watched, a small part of me feared this was some trick Maki was playing, but I didn’t think so. She was usually as good as her word, and after “settling the score” with Bindy last night, I doubted she’d be that cruel to her now.
“… please, Bindy… please let Maki be nice to you…”
“Oooo… oooo yesss…” With a low moan Bindy wrapped her arms around Maki, pulling her close. Maki returned the embrace and they kissed hungrily, bodies pressed together, hands roaming all over each other.
After several long, deep kisses, Maki’s mouth made its way to Bindy’s cheeks, then her ears, then down her neck. One hand squeezed Bindy’s breast, and soon Maki’s lips were there, too, brushing across that that massive globe. “Ohhh… ohhh Maki…”
“Ummm… so soft…” Maki murmured. She nuzzled Bindy’s breast, one hand cupping as much of it as she could, the other hand stroking Bindy’s lower back and butt. “… so big and so soft…”
“Ohhh yesss! ohhh!…” Maki slowly circled her tongue around Bindy’s nipple. “Oooo… ohh, that feels wunderfulll… don’t stop…”
“Maki won’t stop,” Maki said in between licks. “Ummm… Maki wants to make you feel good…”
“Ohh, you do, you do… ohhh… ohh, Maki… oh my goodness, you’re being so sweet to me…” She wrapped her arms around Maki’s head. “Ohhh yess…”
Bindy’s knees buckled when Maki inhaled her nipple. She stood up to support her, and then, still kissing and groping each other, they made their way to the bench. I moved to the doorway. They were too wrapped up in each other to notice me, and probably wouldn’t have cared anyway. They kissed and fondled and feasted on each other for a long, long time, crying out and moaning endearments, until with a final cry they both collapsed, entangled in each other’s limbs on the bench…
----------------------------
I got to join them a few times during the rest of the flight back to the Citadel. The journey ended much too soon. When we arrived, Bindy went with Maki and I to the debriefing with the governess and other officials, and added what information she could to our own account of Lady Jaxx’s pirate lair. Later that night, we took her with us to some of the Citadel’s pleasure spots — the usual relaxation for anyone returning from a mission — and the next day I was permitted to escort her back to where she lived. It wasn’t a village, more of a loose knit community of peasant girls, all living in somewhat close vicinity. They were happy to have Bindy back, and word of her return spread quickly through the area. I spent a few days there — during the day, we helped Bindy clean up her farmhouse, abandoned since her abduction, and at night her friends would get together to celebrate.
By the time I got back to the Citadel, Maki was already off on another mission. But if I thought our adventure would put things between us on a more equal footing, Maki showed me how mistaken I was the next time we got together, binding me spread–eagled and using my naked body first as a canvas on which she and her friend Sabrina played a seemingly endless series of tic-tac-toe games, and later as a dessert plate from which they lapped up honey and other sweet sauces with excruciating slowness.
As for Bindy, it would be a long while before I saw her again. By then I was once more on probation, assigned to a dull post in a remote province of the island, and found myself in a ticklish situation … But that’s another story.
