His body felt like he was carefully laughing, but in my head, it was almost like I could hear him groan. Knowing I’d imagined it because of how Kenzie would react, I couldn’t help teasing him as I snuggled against him. “Kenzie would love a dragon fort. We’d just have to find a really big sheet.”
Now the funny dragon let out a long puff and I knew it was his sigh, just in a different form.
“But I could be bribed not to tell him about my wonderful idea with the right presents.” As I probably looked slightly greedy, Daddy curled his head around and rested it carefully on my lap. He was heavy like a weighted blanket, making me feel safe and cozy. “I like chocolates and books and stickers and bookmarks and popcorn and…and so much more stuff.”
Daddy nodded his head slowly, his lips turning up at the edges in a dragon grin. “You’re so cute like this, Daddy.”
He huffed again, but he just closed his eyes when I started petting his head, so I knew he wasn’t really frustrated. “And I know it’s you because…well, it’s you, but for some reason this is very nice.”
Warmth flooded through me and I found myself closing my eyes as I ran my hand over his head. “I’ve been reading books about littles for a while, and Kenzie’s always talking about stuff. Well, you know that.”
Kenzie liked to share what he was thinking…and doing.
“I know my little side isn’t like Kenzie’s.” That was obvious. “But I liked it when you read to me and when I had my binkie. I liked not having to talk and getting a bottle. You liked that too and Kenzie thinks it’s perfectly reasonable, so I don’t have to worry about liking it.”
Knowing I didn’t have to be embarrassed was helpful.
I didn’t always remember it, but when I wasn’t too mixed up inside, it felt logical. Daddy wanted to be a Daddy. Kenzie liked playing and no one in the whole town seemed to think wanting a Daddy was weird.
Probably because they were all so weird too.
Daddy was probably thinking the same thing because he seemed to chuckle. “Yeah, you’re thinking they’re weird too. It’s just so obvious. I can’t be embarrassed when I’m still the most boring person in town.”
His subtle nod said he agreed with me on that one.
“Don’t worry, you’re boring too. Not like everyone else.” I didn’t realize how that sounded until his body shook again. “Sorry, but you know what I meant. It’s good in this case.”
Very good.
I couldn’t have fallen for a crazy dragon…I liked my calm one.
Daddy vibrated and the soothing feeling had me letting out a slow breath and relaxing into him again. Between Daddy’s warmth and the sun beaming down on us, it felt like the perfect, most relaxing day ever.
“But if I’m not a big little like Kenzie and I like the littler little stuff, then I know I’ve got other things to think about.” Daddy made another vibrating hum that felt like approval and made everything easier. “Stuff from the limits list. I was doing that. It’s on the kitchen table. I had to print it out for you.”
Writing was much nicer than typing.
The image of a pencil and paper popped into my head and I had to smile. “I like paper more than a computer screen. I like touching it. If I didn’t work at the library, I’d probably have a thousand books.”
My mind brought up the Beast’s library from Beauty and the Beast and I had to chuckle. “I’d live in a big castle like the Beast and have a ladder to reach the tall books. But I’d be Beauty in the castle and you could be the Beast that rescued me. That would be a much better story.”
Low laughter seemed to roll through my head and I knew that would be what Daddy’s dragon laughing would sound like.
“I’d be a cute Beauty, but I’d be scared that I wouldn’t want to tell the Beast that I wanted to be taken care of and try things like the diapers.” No, that would make Beauty nervous. “Kenzie would be able to tell the Beast what Beauty wanted. He’d tell everyone what Beauty wanted.”
Daddy the dragon’s body shook in silent laughter.
“Yes, he’d be one of the magic people. Maybe someone like that candle guy? Kenzie just wouldn’t seduce the feather duster.” No, Kenzie had better manners than that.
“Kenzie would be bugging Beauty to tell Beast what he wanted, but Beauty wouldn’t know how to do that. He never thought about being a Daddy’s special baby boy until Beast showed up.” Beast showing up changed everything for Beauty…but he liked that.
Letting out another deep breath, I snuggled a pillow closer and felt even more warmth come from Daddy. “I…I’d be nervous, but I think that’s okay.”
