“I knew I’d like this with you too.” Daddy shifted lower on the couch so he could hold me better. “The first time I saw you in that stupid meeting I knew you were special.”
Because I was Daddy’s mate.
That made me big special.
“You were mad at the naughty men but you were nice to me.” Daddy knew I was important. “You used good manners and you asked me questions.”
No diner questions or nothing like that.
“You were so cute and I wanted to take your hand but I knew that wasn’t good manners.” Daddy sighed. “I was a stranger to you and humans just don’t go up to people in work meetings and tell them how cute they are.”
Mates did.
They just didn’t usually say cute.
We told mates they were nice or attractive or smart…more boring stuff than cute.
“The diner men would’ve liked that.” Daddy’s groan made me feel silly, so I teased him more. “They’d have said good job and then something naughty.”
He made more funny sounds. “I don’t even want to imagine that.”
It would probably make Daddy grumpy, so he needed a distraction. “You can imagine what else we do for couch cuddles, Daddy.”
Yes. That was much better than diner nonsense.
Ha.
Daddy made the naughty kind of laugh. “I think I’m going to like that. Hmm…let me think.”
He made Pooh sounds like in the cartoon I’d seen, so I let him play pretend and petted his chest to give him ideas. He liked ideas and made more happy sounds as I snuggled closer. “I think couch cuddles need more touching. Is that right?”
“You’re so smart, Daddy.” And funny. “Like this.”
I took his arm and moved it so his hand would rub my back and down to my bottom. Bottoms liked pets too. They just did. The books said so and the other littles had said so lots of times where anyone could listen.
“I like couch cuddles.” Daddy ran his hand over my back and down to my bottom. He gave it a pat-pat-pat and laughed when I shivered. “I think it’s okay if I have a favorite cuddle type.”
He was so silly.
“I don’t know.” I shrugged and sighed like the Earth people. “We haven’t done bed cuddles yet.”
Those were supposed to be lots of fun too but I’d never done that. The other littles had and the characters in my books too, so I was pretty sure I knew how good bed cuddles were going to be.
“You’re right.” He hummed and sighed. “We’ll have to practice those after dinner. Then I’ll be able to pick and know which one is my favorite. What do you think your favorite will be?”
He made me giggle.
He just did stuff like that.
But littles made lots of sounds to help their Daddies know what to do.
So I had to.
“Bed cuddles.” Books made them sound very nice. “Because bed cuddles have tickles and kisses and close snuggles and wiggles. Some mates even do funishment playtime when they have bed cuddles. I read that in my books and Lorne talked about it.”
Daddy groaned. “He talked about a lot in that meeting that went all cockeyed.”
He had funny words.
“Oh, um, the meeting that was a disaster and just kept getting worse.” Daddy kissed my head and huffed. “English has too many words. We need to pair it down a bit.”
I didn’t think anyone would let him do that. All the people I’d met that used English liked all the words and kept making up new ones. It seemed to be some kind of hobby or game they were playing with other languages. English wanted to win so they kept making up new ones.
And since it seemed like I was on Team English because Daddy was, we had to let it win.
The littles in my books would shrug and go oh well.
“It’s okay.” I gave Daddy more pats as he rubbed my bottom. “You can just teach me all the funny ones you know so that I can have the best words.”
Then I could use big ones and make the naughty professor pout.
Yes, that was definitely what Lorne would do.
He liked winning and he was very sneaky.
“That sounded a bit like an evil villain laugh, cutie.” Daddy gave me his suspicious look but I just smiled and made my eyes bigger.
Lorne said that made subs look sweet and innocent…and then they’d get what they wanted…and since even Kenzie had agreed, it had to be right.
“Are you ready for nuggets, Daddy?”
Yes, distraction time.
Chapter 14
Agent Murphy
“Is it cuddle time, bathtime, or story time?” I had no idea if his routine here was the same as I’d expect on Earth, but he was yawning and clearly ready to start winding down. Teaching me how to play and making dinner for us had been a lot of work.
“Hmm…” He made thinking sounds and tapped his chin before looking down at himself. “Bubble bath time.”
