“He didn’t seem upset by the question, so I don’t think we have to worry about it.” She also seemed to have moved on since I hadn’t seen her truck at the library lately, so the librarian didn’t seem to need saving.
“How should we ask him if he’s a sub?” Kenzie cocked his head and scrunched up his face in a thinking gesture. “I don’t think we’re supposed to just ask.”
We being aliens or locals?
“Well, maybe you and Lorne should go over when it’s slow sometime and introduce yourselves…then…then ask if he’s heard about the group?” Yeah, there wasn’t a great way to do it. “We’ll have to work on what you should say. That’s hard.”
Human or not, that was going to be an interesting conversation.
“Can we also talk about who else you think would like to come?” Kenzie gave me wide eyes and a pleading look that was completely fake and utterly adorable. “Figuring that out is hard. We don’t just have toys, though. We’ve got stuff for pups and snacks for regular subs and everything.”
What kind of snacks did regular subs need?
Nope.
I wasn’t going to ask.
“Yes, I would be happy to help you figure out a list of who to invite.” I wasn’t sure if having a ratio of humans to aliens that was skewed in favor of aliens would give us more members of the kink community than average or not, but I was curious to see how the data turned out.
And I was also curious to see if my cutie would actually date me and become my cutie…but what did I need to know before asking out an alien?
Chapter 4
Kenzie
“Kenzie, if I was going to ask you out on a date, is there anything I should know to make sure I don’t offend you?” Daddy looked serious but not worried. It was good to know he wasn’t nervous but it didn’t tell me if he knew or not.
Okay, either way, did he need to know anything?
As I thought about that, I took another bite of my wonderful snack before finally shrugging. “No?”
Daddy looked like he couldn’t decide if he wanted to sigh or laugh. “That doesn’t sound very confident.”
I hadn’t dated that many humans, so I wasn’t sure.
Oh, maybe that was the reason my dates with humans had gone so badly?
“Um, I don’t think so, but maybe I should make sure you know that sometimes people just make up their minds very quickly?” Dragons just knew what should go in their hoards. It was instinctive and Daddy belonged in mine.
I just wasn’t sure how to explain that to a human.
Daddy nodded slowly but that seemed to be his thinking face, so I waited. “So what you’re telling me is that you’re one of those people who make up their minds very quickly, so I shouldn’t worry about going too fast?”
Oh, I liked that explanation.
“Yes.” Because I was going to keep him. “Dating stuff should not go too slow and Daddy/little stuff doesn’t have to go slow either.”
Just the I’m a dragon stuff might need to go a bit slower.
I was definitely going to have to call Boyd and see what he thought…and maybe Alick…they were both very good at being logical.
“So asking you out for a date tonight after I get off work wouldn’t be going too fast?” Daddy cocked his head and waited while I chewed.
Once I’d shown him my good manners and swallowed, I nodded and gave him the best answer I could. “That would not be too fast and I would love to go out to dinner because I’m tired of salad and I would like to get to know you more.”
Dragons were technically omnivores, but I was very tired of the salad part. I was ready to be a meat-focused omnivore but that required cooking or dragoning.
And I really didn’t like eating things that wiggled.
Daddy laughed, shaking his head. “Well, then a date will help us fix both of those issues. Would you like to eat here in town at the diner or head out toward the highway?”
Oh, he knew the highway wasn’t town.
He was so smart.
But sometimes smart people missed important details about small-town life.
“Do you want people to know we’re going to be Daddy and little, or would you like to wait a while?” When Daddy frowned, I wondered if I’d said that wrong, so I tried to think of what Boyd would say. “Privacy is very important in a relationship and boundaries will shift. Just because we decide not to share things about our life at the beginning of a relationship does not make it unhealthy.”
Daddy blinked.
“That’s what Boyd said when he was dating a h—” Shoot. “Someone over on the other side of the valley and didn’t want to talk about it.”
Not saying human was harder than it should’ve been.
