I smiled, sitting up. “I’ll keep that on my mind.”
Kat’s gurgling laughter shook the bed. “Keep thatin mind. And I should know by now that you’re too stubborn and fiercely independent to take me up on it.” She clambered off the bed, heading for the door. “Just promise me you’ll be smart about this. I want you to stay as much as you want it, and the thought of you being deported … well, let’s not think about that.”
“Yes. Let’s not.”
Kat’s smile was tight, and I knew she knew I was deflecting. “I’m beat, and I’ve got another breakfast shift tomorrow morning. Your tits look hot in that top, by the way.”
I glanced down. My nipples were firm against the ribbed fabric of the tank, and the shadow of the areolas was visible through the thin material.
Which immediately gave me an idea. I picked up my phone … and retrieved a certain Nikolai …
I waited until Kat had left for work on Sunday morning to check my Tickle account. My fingers shook as I navigated to the app. My jaw hit the floor at the sight of the notification icon, which read ‘99+’ in a little hot pink circle beside it.
“Holy … what in the fuck?”
I dropped my phone on the kitchen counter and backed away, hands raking through my tangled hair. This couldn’t be … this was not normal. Was it? Gus had said that it had taken him months to see any sort of engagement.
I approached the phone again like it was a wild animal. Because whatever beast had overtaken Tickle last night had done something insane.
I glanced at it again. Nope. I hadn’t imagined it. “Three hundred thousand likes?” I gasped. “That’s …”
And it wasn’t just the likes. It was the thousands of comments … and DMs …
And the ten thousand new followers.
How was this real? I’d hastily filmed my half-baked idea last night before I’d had a chance to think twice and second guess myself. I’d posted the raw, unedited footage before I could chicken out. And I’d put my phone down and refused to look at it until now.
I scrolled through the comments, fingertips numb.
WLW_Fanatic: Girl! Hottest orgasm face!
Cumlikeafountain: Currently masturbating while picturing you in my bed looking at me like that. Immediate follow!
Porky.Pie.3000: Hot tits? Giant vibrating dildo? Eye contact when coming? I didn’t even need to see pussy to get off to this! More please!
Yeti_Spaghetti: Anyone else feel like they could happily watch this chick doing something mundane like, I dunno, painting her toenails while she just talks? Sans bra of course, because those knockers …
Was I expected toreplyto all these comments? Because that would take me days! Ten thousand followers … that seemed insanely high, even if my post had gone viral. I checked the views.
Three million.
Yep. Definitely viral.
“O Doamne!” I sucked in one breath. And then another. And another. Collapsing back onto the lounge, I rubbed my forehead. How much money from the creator fund had this one video just netted me? The whole system was confusing, but it seemed to me that subscriber fees were divvied up based on engagement, minutes watched, number of followers, and I thought I’d read something about being able to earn extra by doing follower-only content.
Shit. I needed to leverage this viral post! I needed to keep momentum, because holy shit … this whole Tickle thing might actually be a way for me to fund myself while living outside of the law …
Which meant I needed to come up with some sort of content strategy.
If only I’d done a marketing degree instead of sports science … because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and who knew if I’d be lucky enough to go viral again?
Well, first thing’s first—that one guy who suggested painting my nails and chatting … I could do that! I could even give the infamous semi-see-through sleep tank an encore performance, with some lacy knickers.
Today’s content sorted.
But maybe the comments section would come up with some more inspiration. I left my phone on the lounge and made myself a quickcoffee before settling back in to trawl through the thousands of thirsty remarks, looking for something that would work.
Iggy.Cock: Intrigued by the titillation here! Makes me even keener to see what she’s rocking downstairs. Something tells me she’s a pierced clit kinda girl …
