When I was 14 I got a surprise one day when my cousin Jesse showed up at the door with my Aunt. They came to basically spend the summer and thought it would be cool to surprise me I guess only my parents knew they were coming. He was the same age as me, only a few months older. We saw each other once a year but were still like brothers. He was the same size as me, skinny short blonde hair and had a real innocent look about him. I had never thought of tying him up until he showed up and I knew he would eventually be introduced into our tie up games at some point. When I started thinking of how I was going to get him tied up I thought the best way was to wait until we were able to have one of our air soft rifle wars that Jericho, Ryan, Brad, and I had been doing for awhile now. Jesse had played them with me before but like the rest of us started out when we took each other prisoner we just put our hands behind our backs as if they were tied. I was also looking forward to getting him because he seemed better than me at sports video games, and things like that so I wanted revenge. I kept our games quiet from him because I wanted it to be a surprise to him and I had just gotten a pair of Smith & Wesson Handcuffs I convinced my mom to let me get.
After he had been there about a week we had a Friday night and I was able to have Jericho, Ryan, and Brad sleep over with us so I decided this was the time to get Jesse. Now before I go on I have to say I had a chance to ask my cousin about being tied up while we were watching a movie where someone got tied up and he said he didn’t think he would be to comfortable with the idea, so I didn’t know how it would go when I did get him in that position. At one point I got my 3 other buds alone for a minute and told them my plan and that they were going to have to lure Jesse to me. The plan was we would play a capture the flag type of game but instead of having two flags we would only have one. I was to be by myself which Jesse liked when he heard because we liked competing against each other. He was going to be teamed with Jericho, and Ryan, and Brad would be together so it was up to Jericho to lead him to my hiding spot when things started. The objective was just to get the flag and get it to the front door of the house and capture me. Ryan and Brad would stay away until I captured Jesse. When the game started Jesse was wearing Black cargo pants, a dark blue t-shirt a New York Yankees baseball hat, running shoes, and ankle socks.
When the game started I was allowed 2 minutes to find a hiding spot before they started looking for me. I got to the spot I told the guys where to lead Jesse and sat and waited. After a few minutes I saw Jericho and Jesse walking toward me. There was no way they could see me since I was hiding under a pine tree and wearing all black. When they got close I rolled out and shot Jesse in the leg and told him to freeze and pointed the gun toward Jericho to make it look like I was getting him to.
Jesse put his hands up and said “I didn’t know you could capture usâ€. I said “now you do, turn around and get on your kneesâ€. He and Jericho followed my instruction and dropped their guns beside them. I went to Jesse of course and pulled out the handcuffs and locked his wrists quickly behind his back. When he realized what I did he said in a surprised voice, “what you doing I didn’t know you had thoseâ€?! I told him, “This is how we do it these daysâ€. Jericho got to his feet and said “what nowâ€? Jesse looked back at me and asked, “Did you plan thisâ€? I told him I had it planned all week. Ryan and Brad walked up as I took a bandana out of one of my pockets, rolled it up and wrapped it around his eyes. After tying off the blindfold I assured Jesse that we were just having fun and welcoming him to our way of playing and to just relax because I could tell he was getting nervous. “It’s ok, just get it over with I guess I don’t have much choice now†he said. I told him to stand up and he did I lead him into the house and downstairs to my room.
When we got Jesse to my bed room I pushed him on to my bed lightly and he kind of grunted when he landed. I grabbed his right foot and pulled off his shoe and followed with the left foot then took off his socks exposing his bare feet. He asked why I was doing this, and I replied, “You’ll seeâ€. I took some rope and tied it around his bare ankles then through the middle of his feet then did the same just below his knees. I let him know I was taking the handcuffs off so I could tie his hands and he said, “Okâ€. I crossed his hands and tied them and when I was sure he wouldn’t escape I stood back and looked at him for a minute wondering whether to hogtie him or to just tie his feet to the end of the bed. I decided to just go ahead and tie his feet off the bed so I grabbed his ankles and put them on the arm rest of my futon and tied them off. I stood back and asked if he was ok and replied that he was a little uncomfortable but could deal with it. He had never been tied up before and it was clear the way he was moving that he was trying to get used to the feeling. He started to test his bonds and when he realized he wasn’t getting out his blindfolded head turned my way and he asked, “Now whatâ€? I sat down next to him and explained to him that he was in this position first of all because we wanted to introduce him to the way we play games now, and secondly I deserve some payback for him always beating at everything else. It wasn’t his fault he was better than me at most things since I rarely played sports and didn’t play the video games he liked as much.
“What are you going to doâ€? He asked, and I said “thisâ€! Before he knew what I was saying my fingers were digging in to his side right below his rib cages. He let out a yell and started squirming and struggling violently around. He started laughing so hard so fast I was surprised both at his reaction and to his sensitivity. I remember loving the sound of his laugh. It was a laugh I actually wanted to hear more. Whenever he could get words out he begged me to stop and of course I didn’t until I could tell he was low on breath. When I stopped he begged me again and I said “I can’t though we’ve barely gotten started, we have 30 more fingers in this room that need time with you toâ€. Referring to Jericho, Ryan, and Brad, who all gave me kind of evil grins when I said it. I took his blindfold off so he could see us all standing over him then he got a real nervous look on his face, as his eyes widened a little bit. I assured him that we wouldn’t be tickling him the whole time since there were other ideas coming to mind as well but he couldn’t know what they were or it would spoil the fun.
I went to his feet and ran my fingers up and down his soles and he immediately started thrashing around. After a few seconds I stopped and looked at the 3 that weren’t getting any action and said,â€I’m taking his right foot, what do you guys wantâ€? Jericho said, “I guess I’ll take his left footâ€. Ryan and Brad didn’t say anything but Ryan got on my bed on the left side of Jesse near his sides and Brad got on his right side. I held my fingers inches away from his right foot and the others did the same with their spots and Jesse was already trying to move his feet away from the hands of Jericho and I and started shaking a little from what I could tell. He closed his eyes and started squinting at the torture to come. I said “3, 2, 1â€! And all four of us started digging our fingers into his feet and sides. Jesses feet were going in every direction they could and his upper body was moving so much Ryan and Brad had to hold him down on each shoulder with one hand and tickle his sides with the other. The entire time he was laughing so hard he couldn’t get a word out. After about a minute I stopped and the others followed my lead. It took a few seconds for him to stop laughing but when he did he stayed quiet. I think he knew we weren’t stopping yet.
I decided to stop the tickle torture for a bit and let him see another of our tortures. I took my shoes and socks off and held one of my socks to my nose. It wasn’t that bad but it was still kind foul and sweaty. I held the sock to Jesses mouth and told him to open his mouth which he wasn’t going to do then he started laughing and I was also surprised when I saw Jericho tickling his feet so he would open his mouth and when I realized that I shoved the sock into Jesses mouth and grabbed the duct tape and wrapped it around his head a few times holding the sock in. At this point Jesse had a real miserable look on his face which almost made me feel bad because he already looked like such an innocent kid now he’s going through this.
What happened next I wasn’t sure I should do or not because I suffered the same fate from my 3 companions in a game weeks before but I couldn’t resist when it popped into my mind. I left and went to the bathroom and grabbed the hair dryer. When I got back I plugged it in and held it to Jesse’s feet. I heard Brad say “oh manâ€, kind of under his breath. Jesse mumbled something I couldn’t make out and started struggling as well as he could. I turned the hair dryer on the highest level and waved it around on his bare feet. When it got hot enough his feet started trying to get away from the heat but to no success. After about 30 seconds I turned it off. After all it’s just fun torture I didn’t want to hurt him. I did this about three or four more times, then experimented by lifting his shirt and waving the hair dryer around his stomach area and sides the whole time he was moaning and even though I couldn’t understand him I knew he was begging me to stop. I only did that for a few minutes then turned the hair dryer off and put it down. I asked if he was ok and he shook his head yes and said something to the effect of, “No more of thatâ€. I didn’t want to use it anymore anyway, like I said I surely didn’t want to hurt the kid who was like a brother to me.
After that we left him tied up and put the blindfold back on and played some video games for about a half hour. We decided to have more fun when Ryan asked if I still had the face paint I found. I hopped up and grabbed it, then started painting Jesses toenails pink. When I was finished I untied his feet so we could roll him on his stomach. When I got Jesse on his stomach I retied his feet to the arm of the bed and painted his finger nails the same color. When I got done with the art work I continued to tickle his feet and sides for about another 10 minutes off and on before untying him.
To my surprise when we all started talking about it and especially after explaining again that it was just in fun Jesse said except for the hair dryer it was ok and not to worry because he would get me back, and Jericho, Ryan, and Brad as well if he gets the chance. He got me back a couple days later and embarrassed me in front of my friends. Because they had such a good time with my predicament though, I promised Jesse to help get them back if he wanted. And we had many more tie up games that summer and still talk about them today.
