Page 13 of Culture and Curiosities (Blue Ridge Charm #1)

The phrase was interesting, but I pushed my curiosity around its origin down and stayed focused on my mage. He was making adorable thinking sounds, not quite as youthful as he was before but still playful. “Can I lie on you and wiggle?”

The image in his head did not match that question in any way.

“Yes, my mate.” Based on the pictures he was sending, I shifted lower on the bed, enjoying his laughter when the movement rolled him onto my chest. “You’re very wiggly but I don’t see how this will lead to orgasms.”

His laughter was wonderful and spilled over into me. “Not like this, Daddy.”

Wren was doing his best to sound frustrated but his laughter and giggles made that impossible. Playing the game meant I needed to frown and look confused, so I tilted my head as I’d seen the other men in town called Daddies do. “Are you sure?”

Still making happy sounds, he nodded as he squirmed around and stretched his naked body down mine. The sensation was amazing and sent a shiver through me that gave his laughter a new sound…I was fairly certain the word naughty would apply. “Yes, I’m sure, Daddy.”

His inflection made the words sound teasing and in an instant his youthfulness was gone. A tempting predator was on top of me, but instead of being angry or frustrated, his behavior sent a rush of pleasure through me.

Having a mate was unlike anything I’d ever imagined.

“I think you’ll need to show me, my mate.” Pretending to be confused and uninformed, I shrugged. “I just don’t understand.”

He was enjoying this part of our game because even when he attempted to look serious, laughter still filled his mind. “Yes, Daddy. I’ll show you.”

Showing me may have been his intention but he climbed off the bed.

Interesting.

I could feel his intent and focus, however, so I knew there was something he felt he needed.

It was unexpected but I enjoyed the view and did my best to send the image to him through our bond.

I knew mine wouldn’t be as clear as he was able to provide, but he laughed and wiggled his bottom at me, proving it worked.

“I look that good?” He tried to turn his head like that would help him see the back of his body. “That’s cool.”

Clearly my mate enjoyed seeing himself.

As he dug through a small bag on the bathroom counter, I tried again, picturing how he’d looked spread over my lap.

Ha.

That got a moan and a shiver from him, sending pleasure back through the bond to make me even harder. “Daddy…that’s distracting.”

I wasn’t sure how that could be a negative thing based on his sounds and his erection, so I showed him how he’d looked rocking on my lap as he’d enjoyed his spanking. “Fuck…that’s…”

My mate closed his eyes as more desire brightened the bond. “Why is that so hot?”

I had no idea but I remembered his temperature versus desire explanation. “Because you’re hot, my mate.”

He made a pleased sound before forcing his eyes open and glaring at me. “Are you going to distract me every time I leave you alone?”

“Yes.” Mates were supposed to be together. “I must find ways of making sure you hurry back to me.”

In my mind I took his erection in my hand, stroking it firmly and teasing the tip with my thumb. His groan and pouting glare were not believable in the slightest. “Naughty, Daddy.”

“The more I’m left alone, the better I will get at this skill.” He didn’t want me practicing, so he laughed as he ran across the room. “Wise decision, my Wren.”

Bouncing on the bed, Wren held up a small bottle. “Lube. This will make wiggles much more fun.”

It was the first time I’d heard the word, so the spell was slow to process the information.

My mate was much faster, providing me with information as he slicked up his erection.

Seeing him apply it would’ve given me the information I needed, but the words he gave me in my head were appreciated. “Yes, that’s an interesting invention.”

He giggled. “Let me guess. You can do it with magic.”

“Yes.” But things were different on this world so they had adapted. “Show me your wiggles, my mate.”

We could discuss practical things later.

I had been promised wiggles, so I frowned and imagined him wiggling on me like a small animal or the worm I had witnessed a local digging for in the dirt.

Wren laughed, collapsing on top of me. “No, not like that, Daddy.”

His youthfulness was back as he buried his face against me. “Like this.”

His mind was still filled with happiness, but we both moaned as he finally began rocking against me. It was incredible, but the mix of emotions made the act even better. His happiness. His sounds. The way they filled me somehow increased the desire in both of us.

“Daddy…” As he moaned and nuzzled against my neck, I reached down and grabbed his still pink cheeks, pulling him more roughly against me. “Yes…that’s…”

What he was imagining.

My mate was wonderfully helpful in making sure I could please him.

“Best Daddy ever.” Still making pleased sounds, my mate rushed toward his pleasure as fast as he could, grinding himself against me as he rocked and wiggled . “You’re so silly.”

No, he was definitely the silly mate in our relationship but I was quickly learning to play his games. “My boy is just very good at wiggling for his Daddy.”

The teasing words got more laughter from him but it was interrupted by more moans as I imagined sinking a finger inside him. “Fuck…that’s…”

A spank was appropriate based on what I had witnessed and I huffed as he moaned. “Is that language appropriate?”

No.

I’d witnessed a lecture on that firsthand, although I hadn’t understood the context at the time.

He made a sound that was probably supposed to be a word, but it was not, and his mind did not fill in any details. Pleas for more and begging words were the only thing that were clear, so I gave him additional spanks and imagined sinking two fingers into him.

Yes, he was right.

I was the best Daddy ever.

As his orgasm spilled through him and into me, I gave up all worries and thoughts and let the pleasure finally carry me away. It rolled through the bond, going back and forth between us as it continued to grow until we were both breathless on the bed.

My Wren made a soft content sound and rubbed his face against me. “I never imagined it could be like this…just how much you would make me feel. I knew you’d be special but this is so much more amazing than I ever realized.”

“That’s because you’re amazing. Your laughter. Your passion. You make our bond stronger than I could’ve ever imagined.” Kissing his head, I tried to send him my emotions through the bond even though I wasn’t sure we had the words for them yet.

But no matter what struggles came to us, I knew I was a very lucky mate and I would never forget how fortunate I was to have him in my life.
