Best date ever.

Daddy laid out the books on the blanket so I could look at them. “These are about two kids who use magic to go play with dragons and have adventures.”

Oh.

“I like adventures, Daddy. I went to Earth to find you.” Petting the covers, I leaned over and looked at the pretty colors and cute dragons. “They’re not scary dragons either, Daddy. Look. They’re smiling and don’t have big teeth.”

Daddy kissed my head and made a happy sound. “You’re right. I knew you were going to be my sweet dragon before I realized it.”

“Magic makes surprises sometimes.” I liked the pink dragon. That one was pretty. “It just does. Like I knew I had to go to Earth even though I didn’t want to. But I did it because I’m brave and I found you.”

I got English and more books and nuggets and I figured out what being little was.

“I have to admit that I never thought magic would affect my life.” Daddy sighed. “That was probably ridiculous.”

Hmm.

The blue one was nice too.

“You’re not ridiculous, Daddy. You just think like a human but you’re a mate now.” Those were different. “Look, Daddy. That dragon has two heads. We don’t do that. We just have one. Promise.”

Daddy made a weird sound. “That’s something I didn’t think I needed to worry about, but thank you for clearing that up.”

“You’re welcome, Daddy.” Hmm. Were they mountain dragons or the big fields kind? “I’m a mountain dragon, Daddy.”

“Huh?” Daddy looked down at the books and then at me. “Your colors? That’s about where you’re from? Is that what you were thinking?”

“Was I thinking?” Talking and thinking might be confusing. “Yeppers. That’s an English word too. English has lots of yes words that aren’t yes.”

Humans were funny.

“Do other humans do that? Not all the kind of English ones.” They had lots of kind of English people. “The other ones like the pretzel people.”

They had so many people.

We just had where they’re from people.

“Ice dragons are pretty blue and white colors and they’re from up-up-up. Then there’s big forest dragons and desert dragons.” What was the word? “Oh, we’re camouflaged but we’re the big-teeth animals here so we’re hiding from the little-teeth animals. That’s how the boy in the book described animals. I like that one.”

Books had good ideas and fun words.

“I get to use all the fun little stuff now because I have you and I know what I am.” I was little. “I didn’t know before and it was confusing. But I didn’t worry too much. I just built my castle and had fun with the blocks.”

I had my secrets but now I had my Daddy to share them with.

Daddy made a thinky kind of sorry sound and kissed my head again. “I’m sorry you didn’t know about being little.”

“It’s okay.” I could be cute by myself. “I think being a Daddy or a Dom would be harder. They probably feel weird.”

Going very still, Daddy tilted his head and frowned like he was in a TV show. “You’re right. Wanting to take charge and having big feelings about that kind of stuff would be confusing here.”

“Yep.” Good words were almost as fun as good books. “But I just played by myself and pouted because my books were boring. Now I got a good hoard, Daddy.”

Whew.

Ha.

That was another fun sound word.

“Daddy, it’s time to read my books, but we have to go slow and look at all the pages. All. Hoards are special.” I got new books in my hoard. “These have stories and pictures, Daddy.”

Yes.

We were going to read my books and cuddle and then we could make grown-up sound words when we cuddled.

Like Daddy just did.

He groaned.

We needed to do that one again.

“I guess you don’t want me to put your clothes back on yet, huh, baby?”

Why?

Was I getting dirty?

“Ask a silly question, get a silly answer.”

Daddy was the silly one but he picked up my book to distract me. “Ready?”

“Yes!”

Book time.

Cuddle time.

Grown-up time.

Dates were the best.

Chapter 26

Agent Murphy

He was killing me.

The way he was on all fours and waving his naked ass around was one of the most distracting things I’d ever seen and having to read about innocent dragons while trying to ignore his body was pure torture.

“Oh. Look at the tree, Daddy. My book has pretty trees.” There was genuine excitement in his voice but he’d pushed his ass higher and the chatter coming through the bond felt curated.

It was entirely too random to actually be random.

“I see pretty things here too.” My dry tone had him doing his best to pretend to be confused but he giggled through the bond. “I knew it.”

Laughing out loud and through the bond, he tipped over and fell into my lap. “You like my bottom. You’re so cute, Daddy.”

Groaning just kept his delight going and he laughed until he flopped onto his back, grinning ear to ear. “I was sneaky. You like me naked.”
