Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Bathing at the lake
After following the path that the gatekeeper recommended as they made their way down the mountain, the Skywalker twins eventually spotted the lake she was talking about.
"Looks nice," Leia acknowledged.
Luke nodded. "And there is another lake at the upper level, with water from the mountain stream heading there and then feeding into the lower lake through the waterfall. We should probably drink from the upper level and bathe in the lower one. That will reduce our chances of contaminating the water we will use to get hydrated."
Leia didn't disagree with that, which is why they shifted their directions a bit until they climbed the lateral hill that brought them to the upper lake. Once there, they spent several minutes drinking their fill and satiating their thirst. After taking their time with that, they looked around and made another discovery: there was another waterfall that flowed to another small lake on the left side of the upper water source. It was separated from the bigger one by a tall layer of rocks.
"Oh, good," Luke muttered in a low tone. "That way we can each have our privacy as we bathe."
"Most important," The New Republic Senator said slowly.
They remained silent for a moment, contemplating their situation before sighing almost at the same time.
"Well, looks like we truly are stuck here for now," The Jedi said aloud as it finished sinking in. "So I guess we better make the best out of our situation and start getting comfortable. Yell if you need me."
And with that Luke descended down to the lower lake, starting to remove his shirt while he walked. Leia stared at his retreating back for a few seconds before shaking her head, the New Republic Senator turning around to make her way into her own pond. Sighing once more at the long-term situation she found herself in, she started to take off her clothing and placed it atop a boulder, leaving only her gold bracelet that was gifted to her by the Ewoks of Endor after their victory. The memory gave her pause.
"The Ewoks were used to living with very primitive technology," She thought. "If they could find a way to endure despite those limitations, then so can we."
Feeling a bit more optimistic all of the sudden, the naked princess started to move towards the lake through a path of brown leaves, the glare of the evening's sun intensifying behind her and making her golden bracelet sparkle a bit.
Before long she started swimming, humming in relief when she noticed the temperature was actually quite pleasant. And with that realization, she started to use her wet hands to rub the sweat away from every inch of her body. She realized it would take longer without soap but all the same, she liked the way the pristine water soothed her skin.
After about 8 minutes of that and some relaxing swimming, however, she took a glance at the waterfall with a curious expression as an idea crossed her mind. And so she swam until she was directly below the stream and sighed in contentment at the consistently warm temperature washing away her aches and worries, if only for the time being.
"There must be a hot spring underground, somewhere nearby," Leia reasoned in her mind. "Otherwise it would not be so pleasantly warm."
The nude princess rubbed her breasts as the water fell down her bare body, the minutes slipping away along with the stream; the loud sound of the waterfall drowning the sound of the animals on the island. By the time she felt satisfied and left the waterfall, however, she realized that by leaving her sense of hearing temporarily blocked, she didn't notice a group of monkeys approaching the lake. And when Leia had finally processed their presence, her eyes widened in alarm when she saw that they had gotten their hands in her clothes...and they were starting to tear the fabric apart.
Leia screeched loudly at that and started to rush towards them as fast as she could.

Luke's POV change
Luke Skywalker had been washing the sweat and dirt away from his body while enjoying the pleasantly warm waters of the lake, reminiscing about recent events. He was admittedly more than a little concerned at the idea of remaining stranded for however many years it would take for his sister and him to learn how to harness the might of the Force enough to make their way off that planet. The New Republic had been making a lot of progress since the Empire fractured on various remnants by the squabbling warlords, after all, and they were among the new government's most famed agents. He was worried being away for too long might cost the fledgling New Republic in ways he couldn't begin to guess yet.
On the other hand, he had to acknowledge that he was also cautiously optimistic. That gatekeeper had told them that she knew several Force techniques she was going to teach them to improve their skills while wielding the Force, in preparation for their eventual departure. And while he had become a Jedi Knight after fulfilling the final task Yoda set him on, Luke didn't feel knowledgeable enough in the ways of the Force to call himself a master yet. So, he was hopeful he would be able to learn much from this holographic Jedi Master now that he actually had the time to devote himself to advanced teachings and not be overly busy with work, first the Rebellion and then the New Republic. And of course, he would be happy to pass on what he had learned so far to his sibling...
Suddenly, Luke heard a scream and he turned his head fast toward Leia's voice. His body working on instinct, he started running as fast as he could, using the Force to pull his lightsaber to his metallic hand while on the move. When he reached the tall, natural wall of rocks separating their ponds, the Jedi from Tatooine draw into the energy all around him to perform a mighty Force-jump, bypassing the wall in seconds and igniting his lightsaber when he finally reached the lateral lake.
"What is it?" Luke called out. "Is it a wild...beast...?"
His words died in his throat when he abruptly remembered that his twin had been bathing, as the unblocked visage of her body in all its naked glory flashed before his eyes. Unable to stop himself from staring, he observed as Leia was yelling at a group of monkeys with grey and white fur, moving her arms rapidly at them in anger. They left, startled as soon as she reached dry land but then she reached down and grimaced, staring at ripped fabrics. It was at that moment that Luke realized that the apes, in their playful curiosity, had torn apart his sister's clothing, leaving her completely exposed.
Before he knew it, his cock jumped as it hardened.
Clearly frustrated, Leia let the tattered attire fall to the ground, where it lay, useless. Then she turned around while her face was covered in her hands her body language tense as she groaned. At that moment, the frontal part of her bare form was fully visible to Luke's eyes, feeling mesmerized by her natural beauty from head to toe. But then, she finally removed her hands from her face and froze when she looked at him.
For a long moment where time felt incalculable, the two of them stared at each other's bodies, unable to avert their gaze away. And as they continued to drink in the presence of one another, Luke started noticing a couple of details, such as the fact that he could sense Leia's emotional state charged up in what he had to assume was arousal; which was proven even further when he saw her brown nipples hardened before his eyes. His sister on the other hand had finished giving him a once over by then and had her eyes glued to his stiff cock, and after a bit, he saw her swallow hard at the sight.
The increasingly horny twins almost felt like they were in a trance as they openly gaped at each other, seemingly unsure of what to do with the feelings that were flooding their senses.
With great strength of will, Luke forced himself to look away from the gorgeous sight before him, swallowing hard. It was true that he had become increasingly attracted to Leia ever since they first meet. He considered her to be incredibly beautiful, after all, and while they didn't always agree with each other, they had still grown very close during the years they completed countless missions together for the Rebel Alliance; not to mention that she had a way of inspiring him to be an even better version of himself. On occasion, he had felt that the feelings of attraction were mutual, although it was a little harder to tell with her given her regal demeanor. And while he knew that part of the reason she finally kissed him on Hoth was to make Han jealous, it had felt great to finally lock his lips with hers.
But then, he learned that they were twins separated at birth and decided it would be best to lock those feelings way somewhere deep. After Han died and she threw herself into her work, he had to assume she did the same, although it wasn't something they had actually discussed openly. Still, if their reaction to each other's state of undress was mutual lust and attraction, he had to acknowledge that they hadn't properly dealt with those leftover feelings from the time before they realized they were siblings.
The Jedi took a deep breath to try to calm himself down, which became even harder than he already thought it would be when he realized that he could still sense Leia's high state of arousal through the Force. Sighing, he turned around so that his sister was no longer staring at his hardened cock, which seemed to snap her out of her reverie if her gasp was any indication.
"By the Force, Luke," She said in a mortified tone. "I am so sorry, I don't know what came over me!"
"It's quite alright," He replied after swallowing, without turning around. "It's not like the sexual part of our brains can make the distinction that we are related."
"Right," The princess said slowly as she moved back to the water, based on the splashes he was listening to.
Before long, she told him that he could get on the lake to do the same and so he turned around now that he had her permission. Still, while her lower half was hidden by the liquid, he could still see her exposed back, its upper half covered by her wet mane of hair and even the outline of the corners of her breasts.
Luke swallowed once more when his naked sister suggested they speak like that but didn't object. "So..." The Rebel Alliance hero said with trepidation, "do you have any more clothes?"
"Yes," Leia responded. "In my bag, back in the ship."
The Jedi from Tatooine sighed in relief. "Okay then, that's good. I guess we will just have to be careful with these curious monkeys in the future, make sure we don't leave our clothes laying there within their reach when we need to bathe."
Leia just nodded without looking at him.
"Well then," Luke continued, "Why don't we head back to the ship? Then we can change into something more comfortable, eat some of our canned food, wash it down with coconut water if we get more thirsty, and try to sleep after all the stress we have had today."
"Sounds good," His sister replied from her position.
Now that they were in agreement, Luke extended his arm and reached out with the Force until he had pulled 4 small coconuts from their palm trees and carefully placed them on the ground directly in front of Leia.
"In that case, we can each carry a couple of those on the way back," The Jedi said. "I will go get my clothes while you pick yours up."
And with that, he turned around and headed back to the lower lake where he had been bathing.

Leia's POV Change
After her brother walked away to find his clothing, Leia Organa almost felt like allowing herself to drown in the lake out of sheer embarrassment. Almost.
She blushed, the memory of his physique striking her mind again. "Jedi training certainly suits him," She admitted under her breath. "I didn't really consider it would make him so fit."
Then she swallowed, as her thoughts wandered. Leia still didn't know how to use the Force at will to sense the emotional states of others whenever she would like but...she didn't really have need for that to discover that her twin had really enjoyed what he saw. Not with his cock jumping at the sight of her naked body.
His well-endowed cock....
Before she knew it, her right hand had moved dangerously close to her pussy lips, right below the water but she managed to stop herself just in time.
"What the hell, Leia?!" She chastised herself mentally. "It may have taken you a while to choose Han because you were also attracted to Luke and had trouble deciding because of that but now that you know that he is your brother, you can't entertain such thoughts...right?"
Shaking her head, she hurried to the waterfall, the coldest section of the lake area, once again in an attempt to cool down her aroused mind. But as she stood before flow, she realized it wasn't that effective, which made her grip her hair in frustration.
Luke suppressed a yell, trying to keep his anger down as he slapped his forehead and then buried his face in that palm. He wasn't sure if it was the same troop of monkeys Leia had scared off or another one, but by the time he had scared them away by using the force to slam rocks into the ground right beside them, they had fought over his clothing as well. And so his outfit laid there, ripped and tattered in dozens of places.
The Jedi examined it for a few more moments before sighing in resignation. The joints were too damaged to be of any use. He couldn't even try to put parts of it on without sections of it falling apart.
"Well, these apes seem to really like playing with microfiber," He muttered. "Good to know for future reference, I suppose."
Then he looked back to the upper lake where Leia was waiting for him. His original plan had been to get dressed and then walked ahead of her so that she could have some privacy on the way to the ship but that plan is out of the airlock after that development. He contemplated his situation for a bit longer but in the end, he shrugged. Given the circumstances, it could be argued that it was fairer for him to be unable to cover himself up for now given that Leia couldn't either. Embarrassing for a while, to be sure, but it's not like they will have to deal with mortifying pictures about this situation getting leaked into the dark holonet by paparazzi now that they were alone. So, Luke headed back up, expecting to see his sister carrying the pair of coconuts in her arms with her body covered by a tree trunk or something.
Instead, he found her under the waterfall under the maroon rays of this world's sunset, washing her bare form.
Luke swallowed hard, trying to keep his cock from hardening at the magnificent, dripping sight before him without success. And while his gaze was locked on her naked body, he received an insight from the Force based on her emotional state: she was trying to cool down her passions under the waterfall because she had become really aroused by him.
With great effort, he averted his eyes after that realization and headed back down to his own side of the lake, deciding that she had the right idea and that he was going to need to wait a bit for his dick to soften before he could head back to her.
Leia caressed her body under the waterfall, washing away the extra sweat she accumulated under her recent exertions as she tried to banish a trail of thought from her mind without much success.
"What happens on the island, stays on the island," Her mind repeated. "No one off-world knows that we are related anyway. Plus, we are the only living humans on this island. We could satisfy each other sexual needs while we are stranded here and no one would know but us. And even if that would somehow get out after we return to civilization, the fact that the public doesn't know we are twins would give us an understandable excuse, if it came to that."
However, she couldn't bring herself to heed the calls of temptation, with her years of royal training when it came to controlling her outward display of emotions, and the reminder that Luke is her brother eventually made her cool down after several minutes. By then, she turned back around and saw that her brother had not returned yet.
She tilted her head at that, frowning, but decided to grab her pair of coconuts before he arrived and wonder why she hadn't done that yet. By the time she bent over to pick up her shells, she heard loud steps approaching slowly, being made deliberately noisy. Realizing that was Luke to let her know he was coming, she got herself upright and hid behind the trunk of the palm tree before he could stare at her bare ass and pussy lips from her previous position. About 30 seconds later, she heard him.
"Leia...I have bad news," Her twin called out. "The group of monkeys ruined my own clothing too.
Leia's jaw dropped at the outrageous coincidence, thinking he was messing with her. So, she took a moment to turn around and look over at him from her side of the trunk.
"Are you kidding...me?" She asked, her voice getting way smaller with the last word as her eyes feasted on his naked form once more.
Curiously, Luke didn't try to shift his position immediately, instead, allowing her to openly stare at his cock, his body language resigned and...maybe a little guilty, as if trying to compensate for something.
"I am afraid not," Luke said with a sigh. "It will serve as a lesson for us, I guess. But anyway, let's head back to the ship before it gets dark. It's not a good idea to travel separately because we still don't know if there may be other dangerous beasts on this island so we are going to have to accept we are going to see a bit more of each other in the nude while we return to the ship."
"Right," Leia said slowly before averting her gaze. "Then...let's get going I guess."
And with that, the Skywalker twins started to head out of the lake with their eyes open, devoid of any clothing.
