Younger.
I wasn’t old but I’d officially crossed over into being a real adult, and the sexy man in question was a lot closer to Kenzie’s age than mine.
They all snorted in unison and gave me anare you kiddingexpression that had my brain slowing to a halt.
“Boyd likes older subs and while his preferred little age is young…he likes cuddles and giving bottles and that kind of stuff…he’d be very happy with any age your little side prefers.” As my brain caught up with what Kenzie was volunteering, he gave me another beaming smile. “Oh, and I’m pretty sure he dated a pup once, so if you’re curious about other stuff besides being little, he’ll understand. He’s open-minded.”
He was?
“Does Mr. Librarian know what a pup is?” Alick was probably smart to ask the question but it wasn’t necessary.
“Yes. I asked for those books when he first got here. He said he had to do some research but he got me my books within a few weeks.” Kenzie gave me a slightly toned-down but still cheerful smile. “You’re very helpful and you’re cute when you get shy, but don’t worry, I’m very into my Daddy.”
How was I supposed to respond to that?
“Thank you?” It didn’t seem right but I couldn’t get a better one out. “I…wanted to make sure I understood what you were requesting.”
I had a very liberal budget and very few restrictions regarding what I couldn’t buy without talking to the people I’d been told were the town council, but I’d thought I should know what I was buying for the library.
That had turned out to be a smart decision because I’d needed to find the right space to shelve slightly interesting romance novels.
“You did a great job. I loved the new one you found.” Kenzie nearly bounced he was so excited. “I had to give it to Lorne before I returned it, though. So if it gets lost or is late, it’s his fault. He even promised to pay the fine if necessary.”
That was a topic I could discuss without sounding like an idiot.
“We talked about that with the last book you loaned him.” Frowning at Kenzie and Lorne, I shook my head. “It wouldn’t have taken long to bring the book in and have me switch it to his name.”
They were constantly doing that and they still couldn’t find several books that seemed to have disappeared.
Looking guilty, Kenzie and Lorne sighed as Kenzie decided he should be the one to apologize. “I’m sorry. Just don’t tell my Daddy on us and we’ll find the book. Promise.”
I could tattle on him to his Daddy?
Could I tattle on Lorne to Kenzie’s Daddy?
Oh, would that work with anyone in an interesting relationship in town?
Fines and frowns weren’t working, so another threat in my arsenal would be helpful.
“Alright. I trust you both.” I wasn’t sure how my newfound tattling knowledge could be put to use and I wasn’t sure they were the people to ask because their answers were confusing at best.
“Does that mean you’re not mad and you’ll come to play?” Lorne’s way of connecting everything back to the playdate conversation had me back to looking stunned stupid again.
“Yes, if he’s not mad, then he has to come play.” Kenzie was so sure about that he didn’t even bother to look at me.
“We should probably let him get back to work, though.” Alick seemed to be the only one who realized I was in shock and needed some breathing room. “Let’s go see if there’s any pie left at the diner. I’m starving and dinner is way too far away.”
As they waved and called out their goodbyes and left, I had to agree with him on thedinner being too far awaypart, but I’d been afraid saying that out loud would get me invited to snack time…and I wasn’t sure I was ready for that.
If just a library visit fried my brain, I wasn’t sure how pie in public would go.
Chapter 2
Boyd
“You what?” I’d listened to the confusing run-through, but I wasn’t sure I’d heard it right. “You what?”
“You know, he’s got the same look as Mr. Librarian.” Kenzie was either trying to look cute or trying to drive me insane because he cocked his head and frowned at me. “Maybe that means they match and they’re meant for each other. Mr. Librarian did blush when we told him Boyd likes older subs.”
