the hollywood tickler: Joshua bassett

 “Oh, damn…I didn’t know you guys were a part of this” Joshua replied with a nervous laugh. “Yeah, they called us up last week and offered a good chunk of change to come tickle you and we really just couldn’t say no” KJ Apa explained with a devilish grin toward Joshua. “I can’t believe you actually volunteered for this” Cole Sprouse added. “Yeah I just uhh wanted to see what it was really like. I’ve heard some of the stories” Joshua answered as the Riverdale boys looked to be sizing up the situation, only intensifying Bassett’s suspense. “Well, I guess we should get started” KJ suggested as he stood between the leg extensions and pulled the sneakers off with one tug while Cole made his way behind Joshua. “Oh shit…” Bassett tensed up now that it was actually happening, waiting for them to pounce. “What’s he doing?” KJ asked. “I don’t know” Cole answered, both of them watching Joshua’s lean body tighten up. “…I thought you guys were about to start” Joshua answered a few seconds later as he relaxed a little, fearful that he was embarrassing himself or seemed too eager. “Oh, yeah” Cole casually answered as if he’d forgotten and quickly dove into his sides before Joshua could prepare himself again. 

“AhoaoHAohAOhADdAamMIiITT!!” immediately gushed out the curly-haired actor as he writhed back and forth on the table. “That was a dick move, man” KJ pointed out as he checked out the socked feet. “I mean, isn’t being a dick part of being a good tickler?” Cole answered while moving up and down his ribs and lower sides, already making Joshua a floundering, giggly version of himself. KJ could tell Joshua wasn’t even thinking about him down there, too caught up in Cole’s steady fingers plaguing his sides and ribs but that quickly changed when Apa started clawing down both feet at the same time. “AooOoHAoaoahaAAoHAAOAAHOaSshIiiTT!” Joshua’s laughter suddenly jumped higher and his feet wiggled in place, reflexively trying to avoid the new attention. “I still can’t believe we’re getting paid for this” KJ admitted with a smile of devious pleasure as he scratched along the narrow 10 ½ s again and again. “I know right? The show is ending…you think they’d hire us full time?” Cole suggested with a shared enthusiasm while they gave Joshua the full experience. 

KJ’s steady clawing down the thinly protected soles kept Joshua laughing and squirming like waves of electricity each time his fingers made the trip south from the toes to the heels but the 24 year old soon changed things up out of nowhere, suddenly breaking into a scribbling fit across both feet. “AAhAHAHFFuUcUCkKAAOHANnOOO!!” came roaring out of Bassett with wide-eyed surprise and his body language sprang into sharper jerks and tugs at the bondage table. “I knew that’d get him” Apa laughed. “I didn’t realize we were trying to see who get him worse right out the gate but I’m down” Cole added, getting a worried look from Joshua’s puppy dog eyes before the 10 fingers trailing his sides shot into his hairless armpits without warning. “NNAoOAohAOHAOHA!! SSHhiiIIT!! AohAOHSSTThOHOHPP! SSTTOHOHOpP!!” “Stop? We’re just doing our job, man” Sprouse teased with a sadistic grin as he wiggled into the shaved pits, the lack of hair seemingly amplifying every move Cole made.

The next time Joshua’s feet got a break were when KJ decided to make another change, moving straight from tickling to grabbing the elastic edges of both socks and starting to peel them away, “I think it’s time to lose the socks.” “AAwhOAhAOhABBRrReEAAAK!” Joshua shouted like he’d have to have a breather before he faced what Apa could do without socks in his way. “Sure, I guess I’ll be a nice guy” Cole agreed and abandoned the tender pits, allowing Bassett to catch his breath and mentally gather himself for a second, obviously wrecked more than he was expecting. “Nice feet, dude” KJ complimented as the sandy-pink soles sat in the fresh air, his tan toes wiggling and flexing a little while Apa admired the handsome pair. “Thanks” was all Joshua said back, not too sure about the way KJ was looking at his now naked feet.

“They honestly look good enough to eat” Apa admitted before sticking out his tongue and running up the length of the right sole, making Joshua’s toes curl and his jaw drop, speechless at the development. “Shit, man haha. How do they taste?” Cole laughed. “Good enough for seconds” KJ answered before flattening his tongue against the other heel and gliding all the way up as Joshua’s sole wrinkled against it and his face remained in awe of what was happening. “Holy shit” Bassett let out like it’d just fallen out of his mouth and prepared for the red-headed heartthrob to lick one of his feet some more but instead, surprised him again with a flurry of scribbling fingers on both smooth soles.

“AAhAOhAohAAhoAHaoAOhAAFFfUUUCcKKHAOhohAOhAOHa!!” barreled out of Joshua with a violent eruption as the nails scurried in patternless directions. “Holy shit! He’s like a fucking bronco” Cole laughed as Joshua raged in the straps and laughed his ass off, giving the fellow Disney alum an idea of how ticklish he really was. “I don’t know if he can take it, man” Cole added. “Too bad” KJ answered while narrowing his focus on the balls and arches on full blast, making Joshua flounder around on the table as far as the bondage would allow. “AAAhAOhAOhAOhAoOKKOOkKK! AhoAHAHAOhAOhAohAAohAaAHAhAaohA!!” “Ok, you want more?” Cole questioned as he moved back around behind Joshua. “TThHAATTTSsSSNnNOOOTTTwWHhAaATT iiIMmEEAAAhAHANNT!!” The mostly naked actor tried to correct as Cole reached around and grabbed two handfuls of his chest with a squeeze before letting go and teasing his nipples with just his fingertips to make Joshua’s reaction spiral higher, completely the older stars’ tickle toy.

KJ worked over both feet until he suddenly stopped again but returned with another lengthy lick up the opposite foot this time, snaking along the curvature of his sole until he slipped the big toe in his mouth. The conflicting sensations made Joshua’s head spin but damn his mouth felt good, straddling the line between tickling and worship with beautiful balance. KJ’s tongue wrapped around the juicy toe and slurped around while his lips moved up and down, massaging Joshua at the same time. He kept going until he started wiggling between the rest of the row, exploring the savory toes as they wiggled against his tongue and he soon started running a single finger along the rest of his foot at the same time, zig-zagging all the way down from side to side. “AAAOohAohAOAOOAHAoAhAANNOonNOOohAoahoAHOA!” Joshua laughed like he didn’t know how to process it all, bumbling with a forced smile as the duo earned their hefty paycheck. 

To match KJ’s style of randomly shifting gears, Cole’s hands left Joshua’s chest and plunged into his stomach, wiggling in with stiff daggers on either side of his bellybutton before Bassett ever saw it coming. “OooHOHAOHAFFuUuCCKkAA! AohAOhNOoNnOOOmMmOoORREAAhAO!!” The position he was in gave him virtually no way to protect his belly and Cole took full advantage with another dastardly smile. “I’ve gotta find out how to get one of these tables; this thing is great” Sprouse added with a laugh at how defenseless Joshua was to stop him. “We could just bring it to set; that’d be fun” KJ replied as he left the tasty toes and divided his attention again between both inviting feet. Apa watched the dread come over Joshua’s smiley face as he held his fingers in front of the silky soles, making him anticipate what was coming through the heavy laughter until he landed at the base of the toes and raked down the length of both long feet. “NoOOOAOAHOAH!! OoHhMmyyYGGOOhODDAohA!! OoKOOK! “You put yourself here, kid, not us” KJ teased before dragging all ten nails along Joshua’s satin soles again and watching him thrash on the tickle table with uncontrollable laughter.

“I think I’m gonna move around here and see how this works” Cole announced before positioning himself between KJ and Joshua, standing in front of Basset for a better angle. Joshua couldn’t really try to guess what Cole was up to thanks to KJ’s unrelenting tickling but got his answer when he watched Cole start flicking his tongue along his inner thigh. “AAhoAoAHAOwWWhaaAATThEEAHoaAHAAFFuUucCKK!?! ahoHAoAHAOhAoAHAOHAACCOoOOMmEEOoONN!" Joshua’s hair flew around and his legs shook in the sleeves while Cole licked up and down along the line where his underwear ended, alternating between both legs. “Haha how’s it going up there?” KJ asked, getting a thumbs’ up from his co-star as Joshua continued bubbling over with laughter. Joshua’s reaction was the kind The Hollywood Tickler had seen so many times before, the kind of laughter flavored with genuine surprise and a virgin loss of control, the levels of giggles and howls forced out of him like a singer hitting a note they didn’t know they could as the mischievous pair continued puppeteering him into further insanity.

Another 10 minutes passed of Cole’s tongue flicking and snaking along Joshua’s inner thighs to tickle and fuck with him while KJ alternated between fiery scratches along the balls and draw-out drags of his nails along the arches with random licks and slurps peppered in to throw Bassett off even more. Joshua’s body glistened with a thin layer of sweat and his cheeks were sore from smiling so much, no longer in control of when he laughed or how hard. It wasn’t until an idea hit Cole that it all stopped for a minute, “Hey, what about doing this the other way like we saw in that video they sent us?” “Oh, yeah, that’d be sick” KJ agreed with obvious excitement. “What…what other way?” Joshua tried to find out. “Don’t worry, we’ll show you” Cole assured as he started undoing the leg sleeves and curiosity spread across Bassett’s face until he realized what was in store.

Joshua was now on his stomach, stretched out with his arms secured over his head toward the other end of the table and his legs back in the sleeves and his ankles in the built-in stocks at the ends. “How’s that?” KJ asked. “I feel like I’m even more screwed now” Joshua confessed as he tested how much he could look around. “I’d say that’s a pretty perceptive assessment there, Joshua” KJ added before something landed on the center of his ass cheeks. “AAhAHA! WhhAATTHHEEhHEEELL!?” Joshua exclaimed but was overcome with the gnarly tickling sensations as KJ ran the head of an electric toothbrush down the middle of his butt through the underwear, lighting Bassett up with ease. “OoKOoOhOAOkK! AOhAOHATThhAATTssSoSooOMmEESSEEddDUUuHUuPPP!” “Then you’re gonna love this” KJ laughed as he produced a second brush and divided their attention to Joshua’s perky cheeks, instantly cranking his adorably heavy laughter up even higher.

While KJ tickled Joshua’s ass as it bounced around in place, Cole located the two toe ties attached to the individual stocks around Bassett’s ankles and proceeded to lasso around each of the big toes until Joshua’s feet could barely wiggle. “HhEEEyYY!! WWHhAATTT’SSOOoNNNMmYyTToOEESS!?!” “You should probably be more concerned about what’s on your feet” Sprouse answered, giving Bassett a hint that he couldn’t think straight enough to decipher before something landed on both of his taut soles and really gave him something to worry about. “AAAAHAHHAHA!! AOhAFFUUUCCKK!! FFFUUHUHCCKK!! AohAOhAANOONNOOO!!” Joshua exploded with shrieking laughter as Cole worked the teeth of two plastic combs across his feet, destroying the soft soles with cruel simplicity.

“Holy shit, dude. Who would’ve thought combs tickled so much?” KJ laughed at how wild they got Joshua laughing. “I can show you sometime” Cole offered with a wink, knowing KJ would never give him the chance. “Yeah right” KJ answered before grabbing the roll of duct table on the tools table and returning to the table. “This may be cheating but I never really saw a rule book” Apa added as he taped the electric toothbrush to Joshua’s lower back so the vibrating bristles were positioned perfectly between his cheeks. “Now that’s fucked up” Cole laughed as Joshua argued against the toothbrushes being fixed there to constantly tickle him and KJ moved around to lift Bassett’s head up and plant a few pieces of the tape across his mouth.

“MPHMMPHMMNnhmMPHM!!” “Sorry, dude. Can’t really hear you but considering you wanted to get tickled, I’m guessing you wouldn’t care if I went for your armpits. I didn’t get to tickle those yet” KJ pointed out before straddling Joshua’s back. “MMnhMMHnmmHmPhMmmHmM!!” Joshua objected with booming muffled laughter behind the tape before KJ plunged into both wide-open pits, forcing another giggly eruption behind the silver gag. Cole followed a few minutes later and started sawing the combs between Joshua’s velvet toes, forcing his laughter up another notch until he was flailing under KJ. “I guess I could at least try them while I’m down here” Cole decided to himself before snaking his tongue along the right sole to satisfy his curiosity. “Mmm, not bad” Cole concluded before trying the other foot and lapping up the tasty sole all while running the combs between different neighboring toes. They could both hear him squealing behind the gag between the heavier laughter, losing his mind from the tag-team tickling but the CW residents took that as a good sign, happy to give Joshua what he’d volunteered for but even he didn’t expect it to be this intense. 

Joshua was in the throws of the unique love/hate scenario some ticklees found themselves in. Part of him enjoyed all of it but he’d underestimated how sensitive he really was and Cole and KJ seemed to be having a real blast pushing his limits. He jerked against the straps and roared with non-stop laughter for another 20 minutes until he heard something he wasn’t sure to be happy or panicked about. “It’s close to 4; you ready for the finale?” Cole asked. “Yeah I guess it’s about time to wrap it up” KJ agreed and they both stopped for a moment, with only the electric toothbrush still buzzing on his ass.

“Now!” Cole announced and they fired back up at the same time, with KJ burrowing into both armpits with everything he had and even flicking his tongue along Joshua’s neck and ears to fuck with him more while Cole sawed the combs side to side, up and down the length of both trapped feet and slurped on his right toes a little at the same time for a little extra. “MMPHHMMhHMMHmmPhMMhMM!!!!” Joshua practically threw KJ off him and his laughter spiked the highest of the session into high-pitched hysterics, his body almost vibrating on the table as they did their best to give him a vicious cherry on top he wouldn’t forget. 

Cole licked and sucked each of Joshua’s plush toes and combed over the captive feet while KJ teased his neck and ears and dug into his armpits with ruthless enthusiasm until the timer sounded to signal the end of their time, letting Bassett’s desperate laughter and muffled begging simmer to a steady giggling from the toothbrushes still buzzing away. “Was that really 2 hours?” KJ asked as he got off Joshua. “Didn’t really feel like it but I guess so” Cole answered as he turned off the toothbrushes and KJ pulled the tape off his mouth. “How was that?” Cole asked. “…you guys are fucking evil” Joshua laughingly answered as he caught his breath and came down from the insane high. “I guess that means we did a good job” KJ added with a smirk as he untied the wrist straps. “I had no idea I was that ticklish” Joshua confessed as he rested on his elbows while they moved around to free his legs. “So, now that we’re done, who was the better tickler?” Cole asked while they stood in front of his still toe-tied feet. 

“Uhh…both of you were good” “Come on, surely one of us was better” KJ pressed. “I mean…I guess KJ was a little AHAahAoaHSShHhiiiTT!” Joshua tried to answer but was interrupted with Cole scribbling across his left foot. “Who was better again??” Cole challenged. “AAoAHYYoOouUuOooYYoOOUUuWWEeERReEBbbeEETTTEerrRR!!” “Hold up. Are you sure about that?” KJ questioned as he started running his nails all over the opposite foot. “AAAhoAHoahaOHAAAhoaAAAOHAOAHA BBBOoOTTHHOoOoFFYyOOuUWWEeRREEEGGOooODDD!!” “I guess we’ll just have to keep going until we get a real answer” Cole announced as he and KJ tortured the pair of wonderfully ticklish feet and Joshua thrashed around on the table in the lose-lose situation, feeling the wrath of two guys who loved tickling the shit out of people, especially when they were getting paid for it. 

Joshua Bassett is one of the few celebrities that sought out The Hollywood Tickler. He’d heard about the mysterious man and his affinity for tickling not long after finding success as an actor but it took some time to find an actual contact that could connect the two of them in the opposite way HT’s deals usually came to fruition. The 21 year old was very interested in what an experience with the mystery man would be like after hearing stories about stars like Pitt and Efron’s encounters. The adventurous part of Bassett wanted to step outside his comfort zone and another part of him couldn’t help but think of being tickled by him as a way to be more like the Hollywood big timers he looked up to. Only a few weeks after reaching out, toward the very end of 2021, The Hollywood Tickler responded with a time, date, and address. The young TV star was about to get his wish.

Joshua sat in the private studio with nothing but a camera to keep him company after being setup. He sat on a Y-shaped table with his legs out in front of him in a V, both legs secured in black sleeves that laced up and his ankles in individual stocks. His wrists were in straps that secured to the leg sleeves, leaving him in an upright position but he could still comfortably slouch as he wanted. Now in only a pair of purple boxer briefs and sneakers and socks, Joshua waited with anticipation until the door opened and was greeted by two eager faces.
