THE OFFER "How ticklish are you, by the way" Billy's question had caught me off-guard. I swallowed hard and hesitated. Fortunately, he started talking again. "I just love to have a male friend with whom I can mess around with - wrestling, physical play and lots of bondage and tickle torture. In college, I had a roommate who loved to tickle me, given that I'm so ticklish. We'd wrestle all the time, but I'd always lose because he could break any hold and ultimately reduce me to a powerless dude simply by digging his fingers into my armpits or ribs." "So, what happened after you lost". I was virtually panting. Billy knew I liked to play games to see who was tied up. "Well, one time we were having a tickle fight and he pinned me down and sat on my arms and just started tickling my armpits without mercy, reducing me to laughing like a little kid. Finally, he said that he would stop, but only if I agreed to be his slave - doing whatever he wants. I was so far out of it that I agreed. I was told to strip off all my clothes. Soon, I found myself tied spreadeagled to his bed. I knew what was coming, because Rob just adored administering a brutal tickling. Anyway, he straddled my theighs and got this grin on his face and I knew I had had it. He took two fingers and started gently drawing circles on the smooth skin under the hairy patches under my arms. I went crazy - giggling with laughter and begging him to stop. He did, but only long enough to tie a t-shirt around my head to keep me from talking. Then he started working his fingers down my ribs, digging in deeply and spending time on each individual rib. Next came designs on my stomach and belly button, which drove me nuts. Rob knew my belly button was one of my worst tickling spots. I was going crazy, screaming into my gag, hoping he would stop. And he did." "He did!? What about your feet? They're not ticklish?" "He stopped, but only long enough to grab a pen from off the desk and started writing on the soles of my feet - going up and down my sensitive soles. I was straining in my bonds, trying to get loose to stop this torture and trying to plead for mercy through my gag. Rob just laughed and moved back up my torso and then started digging into my armpits without mercy. I started to buck like crazy. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally quit. After I regained my composure, Rob released me and told me that I was to keep the room clean and his bed made every day, or endure another tickling if I mess up." "Did you?" "Almost every week he tickled me. Sometimes I messed up on purpose just so I would get tickled. It was horrible and wonderful at the same time, if you know what I mean. I would LOVE to duplicate the experience again. Maybe with you?" END Hope you enjoyed this short story. How should I answer his question? Is there another story with Billy that should be written. Sould Billy get a tickle revenge on me? Questions, questions, questions. As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
