An Open Letter To My Tickle Crush
To my Tickle Crush,
You make this thing fun, you know?
There’s just something about you. Maybe it’s magic, maybe it’s something infinitely more but the allure that you have surrounding you, the aura that you have that just draws me in; there’s something about it that I just can’t resist. It’s the same way I can’t resist your flirty looks, your gorgeous smile, your soothing voice…
Or that beautiful laugh…
My god, your laugh.
You ever wish you could just bottle up a sound and keep it with you during the day? Your laugh would be that sound if I could. Or rather, it’d be that sound if I needed to. Good thing it’s already nicely packaged. You see, babe, I’ve got it all figured out; your laugh is the genie in a bottle, and the bottle is your incredible, amazing, beautiful body. All I have to do is rub it in just the right way.
Or in your case, tickle the right way.
And my god do I want to.
I know where you like it. I know that your torso is laced with nerves that need stimulation in the best possible way. I know how badly my fingers want to play with that. How I want to have you hold your arms up nice and high so you can feel the slow, agonizing drag of fingers up and down both of your sides – striking every deliciously sensitive spot that’s hiding under your perfect skin, nestled between the fibers of your muscles, and feeling them charge with energy and electricity…I’d let them switch directions before I get to your ribs because that’s a very different spot, a very different tickle, and we’re just getting started and those sides need more than just one sweep. If I’m thorough, working my fingers up and down and back up in a pattern and a rhythm varying ever so slightly each time that you can’t ever get used to it, and I want to revel in your whimpers, your yelps of surprise, your whines as you bite your lip and try to hide.
Don’t you dare put your arms down, though.
Your ribs will be there for me to play with when you’re ready to be spoiled a bit differently. Remember the first time you told me you liked having your ribs scratched? Remember how you lifted up your shirt to show me just how you liked having it done? The nature of ribs, their horizontal path lends itself so well, like little tracks for my fingers to play along, to scratch ever so lightly, but that’s basically a tickle anyway so let’s not pretend we didn’t both know what you meant when you said you liked having them scratched. I’m going to play them like they’re the strings of the most beautiful instrument so you can sing and grace the two of us with a symphony of your cute, controlled, harmonious laughter.
Cute and controlled, though. Because you know we’re just getting started.
Still with me? Good, because I want you to pay very close attention when my fingers stroke along the hollows of your armpits, which will be nice and taught and sensitive if you’re being a good little tickle toy and keeping those arms up high just like I asked you. It’s a shame, since confiding in me that you didn’t like armpit tickles because you felt like so many people were bad at them I’ve felt that maybe it was off the table, but I think if you work with me I can give you an experience that may sway your opinion. I have an idea of what could work so incredibly well with that, too…as my fingers dance around under your arms like the legs of excited tickle spiders, my lips are going to be on your neck.
Babe, you know I know I deliciously, wonderfully, impossibly sensitive your neck is. How sensitive and erogenous it is. How I can’t help but put my lips there, cover every beautiful inch of it with deep, passionate kisses that will fan the flames burning in the pit of your stomach. When your giggles mix with moans, and that composure starts to slip…there’s something beautiful in that. Feeling you lean back into me because you can’t go left and you can’t go right and the only place to go is closer to me while the sensations of ticklishness fill your body and your heart and soul.
It’s something special. A certain type of energy that may cause my lips to drift up along the angle of your jaw, up behind your ear, and maybe across your cheek and if you so choose to turn my way and let our lips lock together, I certainly wouldn’t complain
Tickly kisses. Now that’s a concept I’m absolutely in love with. I want to feel you giggle into me while we kiss and I tickle and stimulate all the parts of you that I can reach. Feeling you shiver, and maybe even coaxing a moan or two out of you because in the midst of this because I know that you really really enjoy it.
If you think after your neck and your lips my mouth will be satisfied, you must’ve forgotten how oral of a person I am because by now I ought to be working my way to your collarbone and down your shoulder, repositioning myself on top of you as my lips trail down your body. You know where I’m going too, don’t you? Once I get to your navel, all I need to decide is right or left, and maybe make sure I’m holding you steady because when I start kissing your sides you know you’re in for it. You KNOW you’re in for that sensation that you’re so in love with, that drives you absolutely insane and with all that tickling you just went through, I’m so curious to see how it’s going to make you squirm, and find that perfect little spot that will make you beg, that will make you scream with that laughter that I love. I want to feel your obliques tighten under my lips…and I may just have to bring my fingers back into the mix too bringing us almost completely full circle from where we started…but we’re nowhere near done. Babe, trust me. I have so much more in store for you…
See, I’ve thought of this a lot. You know I have. I know you have. I want it. I want it with you in the most intimate of ways. In the truest of ways. And every time we share it, I fall more and more in love with you.
So what do you say, Tickle Crush? Do you want to play?
Ever yours,
-Kai
