Naughty teasing

"Do you really think that tickles?" He stifled a laugh when her fingers traced the back of his ear. 

"It doesn't, huh? What about this?" Her other hand found the front of his neck and started teasing his adams apple, laughing more even though she was not the one being tickled. 

He grabbed her hand with a belly laugh. "My love, that would only be tickling if it's for pets. For your man, that would be luring him to do naughty things to you." 

She ignored the second part of his words and expressed her curiosity. "Pets… are tickled?" 

He frowned at the sort of question she was asking him. "Of course, yes. They are very much like children—they like spending time with their masters, getting hugged often, playing, getting treats and pretty much many of the things that children and humans in general like." 

He was even more surprised when she gave him a look of surprise. "Haven't you ever kept a pet before?"
