And that seemed to mean I would handle the alien invasion well?
Kenzie logic was so much fun.
“He’s very silly. I already knew my Kenzie was special and I’m not going to be scared of you.” The chances of him probing me were slim to none, and based on his random comments about food, I wasn’t going to end up on the menu for a variety of reasons.
Everything else I might worry about seemed easier to brush aside.
“I’m very special, Daddy.” Kenzie aimed his adorably manipulative smile at me and even kissed my cheek. “I’m your special dragon and I have the best hoard and you’re going to stay with me always and always.”
“That’s right.” Kissing his nose again, I loved the way he giggled and I might’ve enjoyed the sound effects coming from the rest of his fascinating friends. “You’re very special to me and I know you’re going to keep me.”
That got the cutest laugh from Kenzie as he nodded and snuggled against me. “I made you cupcakes, Daddy.”
For some reason that got another dramatic sound from Boyd. “Stop that. He thinks you’re just being cute and little.”
Huh?
Kenzie was cute and damned near little, so I wasn’t sure what I’d missed.
Scrunching his face up, Kenzie didn’t seem to appreciate Boyd’s comments. “I’m very cute and not little yet. I’m Daddy’s big boy because I want a spanking and a blow job after we eat cupcakes.”
This just kept getting more and more fascinating.
And the two gigglers loved it too because they were damned near sliding off the couch they were laughing so much.
“That’s oversharing and stop manipulating everyone.” Boyd threw up his hands as Kenzie kissed my cheek. “Stop that and make him understand you’re not playing pretend.”
I had no idea what was going on but Kenzie was having fun, so I focused on that part. “If I let you keep messing with Boyd, do I get two cupcakes?”
“Don’t encourage him.” Boyd finally stood up and started pacing across the living room. As he turned and made his way back, he glared at both of us. “I knew you were going to make me do it.”
Lorne decided it was his turn to add to the chaos because he shook his head and in between giggles tried to sound reasonable. “No, I was going to do it. It’s my turn.”
What was his turn?
Kenzie was thoroughly enjoying the insanity and avoiding whatever he thought was going to upset me and was no help at all. “I’m a very good boy, Daddy.”
That didn’t help Boyd’s precariously balanced sanity. “For fuck’s sake.”
“He’s a dragon.”
All three men finally got the sentence out at the same time, but it took a few seconds for what they’d said to get through.
Not aliens?
Dragons?
Well, that explained why he didn’t want to probe me.
And the comments on food made a lot more sense.
“What’s Ms. Dobbs?” There was no way she was a dragon. “If dragons are the first type of…interesting citizen, what’s the other?”
Silence.
Kenzie gave me another cute cheek kiss. “Mages, Daddy.”
Magic.
Fucking magic.
“Alright.” Giving my little dragon who was actually a little dragon a hug, I skipped to the important part and tried not to laugh at the insanity of it all. “What kind of cupcakes did you make?”
“Apple cinnamon, Daddy, because it’s got fruit, so that makes it healthy.” His smile was so big, I decided to just accept the logic.
“That’s a wonderful idea. You’re so smart.” As I tried to figure out if I was going to ask about the ingredients or just guess later, Boyd groaned.
“Nope, can’t leave until we’ve addressed the elephant in the room and I can report to the council that everything is fine.” Glaring, he got a very stubborn look on his face. “I’ve got all night.”
I fucking knew there was a council.
Another one for the smart as fuck human.
But considering Kenzie’s list of activities for the evening included a blow job, I decided Boyd staying around all night wouldn’t work for me. “I’m fine.”
For some reason that didn’t help the situation.
“I think it’s a dragon in the room, actually.” Alick’s teasing had Kenzie laughing again. “No elephants here.”
“Does that mean there are no regular shifters? Are you shifters?” It was nice to be able to actually ask my questions instead of listing them out in my head. “You’ll tell me if I ask something rude, right? I’m pretty sure I’ve walked into a couple of cultural minefields, but I wasn’t sure what I’d said that was off-putting.”
Before Kenzie or anyone else could respond, I realized something. “You do have a hoard. That’s why everyone in the diner was acting so oddly.”
Kenzie giggled but didn’t interrupt me as I kept going. “We’ll definitely have to take very good care of it then.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Snuggling closer, Kenzie rested his head on my shoulder. “And thank you for not being scared of me, Daddy.”
