I still thought he needed help, but knowing there were mages had some of it making more sense.
“I heard rumors that some mage was transforming things into random stuff like that to get good gossip?” Fraser shrugged. “Even for around here it didn’t make any sense.”
Nothing ever did.
“So it was actually kind of nice knowing everyone wasn’t a lunatic.” They were still weird but we were at a mostly safe level. “You’re cute. That helped too.”
Laughing, Fraser released my hand long enough to swat my bottom. “Naughty boy.”
Oh.
Nope. I wasn’t going to react to that.
“You were flirting.” He still was. “It wasn’t my fault the sexy man said he wanted to do naughty things to me before he said he was a dragon.”
“So not enough blood to the brain helped temper your reaction?” Daddy looked very pleased with that idea. “I can understand that.”
I managed not to scoff but it was difficult.
“Yes, it’s very understandable.” It was also arousing because he was nearly steaming as he looked at me.
Daddy liked knowing he was so sexy I couldn’t worry.
I wasn’t sure if it was a silly Daddy thing or a dragon thing, but I had a feeling it was a mix of both. The magical mates thing was probably part of it. I had a feeling that was going a long way toward making everything seem more reasonable.
“I can also be honest and say that it was nice finding a guy who was really into me and didn’t think I was someone he needed to fix before he could show me off.” The way Daddy squeezed my hand as we kept walking made it easier to share what I knew he needed to hear.
“The science community and the academics wanted to make me less casual and they cringe anytime I say words like bug to describe something that is obviously not a bug.” Rolling my eyes made me feel much better. “No one cares what the scientific name of the spider they’re going to squish is.”
Daddy coughed, doing his best to cover up a laugh. “No, outside of their very small community, I can promise you no one cares about that.”
“I know.” People were ridiculous. “But when I tried to date more regular guys who did things like owning their own business or being a personal trainer, they wanted to fix me to make me better to take out in public.”
I was fit for public.
I was just awkward.
The growl that radiated from Daddy’s chest had me looking up and seeing a bright flash coming from his eyes as their structure transformed for just a moment.
“Oh, that’s fascinating.” Stepping closer brought us to a halt, but I didn’t really notice that as I brought my face to his. “Your eyes changed.”
It was an emotional reaction based on his anger, but had it been instinctive? Could he do it again?
“I’m assuming it’s a partial shift.” I should’ve been paying attention to the person I was talking to and not seeing him as a specimen, but I wasn’t, so I squeaked when he gave me a quick peck on the lips.
Daddy caught me before I fell backward, but my heart was pounding as he fought back giggles. “There’s no need to be scared of me.”
He was ridiculous.
So I glared at him as I found my footing again. “I had questions.”
He was still giggling. “I know.”
I was supposed to be the little but sometimes he had the sense of humor of a toddler. We were in one of those situations because he couldn’t stop snickering. “You should’ve seen yourself. Your eyes went wide and you jumped back.”
He was being rude and I was going to tell him that but the brat distracted me first.
Picking me up in his arms, he let out another low growl as I wrapped my arms and legs around him. “But you weren’t scared of your mate. You were curious and were going to climb all over me to figure out what I could do, but running from me never occurred to you.”
“Oh. I.” Shoot. I couldn’t think when his hands were kneading my ass. “Daddy, you’re.”
Ugh.
Curling into him, I hid my face against his neck as I groaned. “You’re so distracting.”
That had him squeezing one cheek and it sent tingles through me as I tried to rock my dick against his stomach. “Such a naughty boy. Calling his Daddy names and trying to get humpies in the woods. I think I have a naughty little exhibitionist.”
Me?
I was going to tell him how wrong he was once he stopped making it so hard to talk.
“I thought I was going out with my sweet mate who loves manners and looks so polite, but it seems I have a naughty boy who’s doing his best to tempt his Daddy.” His gruff words had me shaking my head but I couldn’t figure out how to tell him no.
