“Lots.” I’d just lost some of them. He was distracting when he was happy. “Oh, but why didn’t you ask to see my dragon?”
Yes, everyone said he’d want to see that.
“Lorne said he’d show you his too if you wanted, but we’ve got to get naked or our clothes get all messed up and that gets expensive and money doesn’t grow on trees even if the mages say they could figure out how to do it. They’re just being silly, though.”
Probably.
I wasn’t sure my mom had been telling the truth about that because moms didn’t always tell the truth about stuff.
Daddy shrugged, kissing my nose to make me giggle. “I already know you, cutie. Unless your dragon is completely different from you…then I’ll get to know him too. But otherwise, I was going to wait until you wanted to show me or my curiosity got to be too much and exploded out.”
“That sounds like it would be messy, Daddy.” He was so funny. “I’m not cleaning up curiosity.”
It was Daddy’s turn to laugh. “Deal. I will clean it up.”
Yep, happy Daddy was distracting.
What had he said?
“Oh, I’m just me no matter if I’m human-looking me or big dragon me or little dragon me.” Having someone else in my head would be weird.
“Little dragon?” Daddy got a naughty grin and wiggled his fingers over my sides to make me laugh and laugh. “I already met the cutest little dragon.”
“Daddy…I…” Squirming, I tried to catch my breath to talk but he made me so wiggly I couldn’t. “I…”
The pleasure was so good it almost hurt like a spanking, and when he finally stopped, I collapsed against him as he snickered. “Naughty Daddy.”
“Cute little dragon.” His silly response made me nod.
“I’m very cute.” Rubbing my face against his neck, I took a deep breath and held in his scent, letting it fill me. “You smell really good, Daddy.”
He made a soft, happy thinking sound and hugged me tight. “Is that a dragon thing or just a Kenzie thing?”
“I don’t know.” Kissing his neck, I took in his scent again. “I like it, though.”
“I’m glad.” Daddy kissed the side of my head and gave a small laugh when I licked under his ear. “That tickles.”
And it made him naughty happy too because I could hear the desire in his voice and smell him getting even more turned on.
“I like tickling you, Daddy.” Licking around his ear made him groan and laugh at the same time. “You’re tasty.”
“At some point I’m going to make you explain how tickling is tasty, but for now you have to tell me about your little dragon.” Holding me tighter as I nibbled on his ear, Daddy made a low, sexy sound. “You’re distracting me, little dragon.”
I couldn’t help wiggling as I thought about another spanking.
Daddy barked out a laugh and smacked my ass. “No spankings until I get more information.”
Ugh.
“I don’t know why…I forget…but before we came here, my kind of dragon lived in the forests, so we had two forms, a big one and a small one for going between the trees.” Big all the time would’ve made us stuck.
“Did you have human-looking forms too or were you just dragons there?” Daddy didn’t sound nervous, just curious, so I knew Boyd had been worried for no reason. “I wasn’t sure how everyone looked so human.”
“We looked almost human, I guess.” That was hard to explain. “I saw old pictures of my great-great-grandfather one time and he looked more not-human than me now, but it wasn’t much. Ears and stuff, maybe. My science teacher in school said the mages made us look more human when we first got stuck here and human genetics changed things too when we married them and had babies with them.”
I’d paid more attention in school than I’d realized.
What else would Daddy want to know?
“I don’t think anyone ever said why we had forms that looked almost human but magic is weird.” That was what adults had said a lot when I was growing up, so I didn’t feel bad saying it to Daddy.
He chuckled. “So it’s not just genetic differences? There’s actual magic?”
“Yes.” Going back to kissing his neck since that was more fun than trying to remember high school science, I loved every happy sound I got from Daddy. “I think my teacher said we all started out as mages and then at some point in evolution we split off and used our magic to shift. Something like that. It’s why most of our magic is shifting and not the flashy kind of magic the mages do.”
“Like the grumpy guy with the garden who you were going to talk to about the paint.” Daddy was nodding to himself before I could even tell him how smart he was. “I knew there were two different kinds of aliens.”
