He let go of my hand and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. Bending down, he nuzzled the side of my neck, his warmth sending a shiver through me as he held me close. “Thatmakes me so happy. I want you to be comfortable here. Are you ready to see the rest?”
I wiggled against his stronghold and nodded. “Yes, please.”
He took me further into the house, where a cozy dining area nestled beside an open kitchen. The kitchen featured a sleek island with a few barstools. I pictured myself sitting there playing as I waited for him to cook. The image sent a warm flutter through my stomach.
Daniel grabbed my hand again and led us down the hall, showing me the guest bedroom and bathroom. His deep voice as he showed me where everything was soothed any lingering nerves. When we reached the end of the hall, he opened the door and took us inside.
“This is my room.”
The room was exactly what I expected; the furniture matched the rest of the house. In the center was a huge king-sized bed covered in the softest-looking comforter and pillows.
He pointed to the left, where two doors were on either side of the wall. “The one on the left is the bathroom, and the one on the right is a walk-in closet. We’ll have time for you to explore those later, but first, I have something I want to show you.”
I cocked my head in a silent question. He pulled me across the room until we stood in front of two French doors.
“I want you to know… no one else has used anything in this room. As David so kindly put it, I’ve been quite obsessed with collecting things for my future boy.” I gave Daddy’s hand a fewcomforting squeezes. He seemed nervous, and I wanted him to know there was no reason to be.
“David told me I should wait until I met my boy to decorate the room fully, but damn, was I glad I didn’t listen. From the moment I met you, I’ve felt drawn to you. I’m not sure why I gravitated towards dragons, but it started with me finding this adorable dragon onesie, and then it just snowballed from there. I was beginning to worry that I wouldn’t find a boy at all, much less one who has a high affinity for dragons. I hope you like this room as much as I do.”
My Daddy was rambling nervously, and I itched to give him the same comfort he gave me. I threw myself at him, throwing my hands around his neck. “I’m so excited, Daddy, it’s gonna be great cause you made it. Plus… dragons make everything awesome!”
His eyes softened as the tension fled his body. “You are just the sweetest boy. Come here, little one.”
I couldn’t help the squeak that escaped me as Daddy grabbed my ass and lifted me into his arms. I quickly wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my face in his shoulder. He still held me tight as he stepped forward, opened one of the doors, and carried me inside.
“This is my Daddy dragon hoard… and hopefully your playroom. If you want it to be.”
Lifting my head, I looked around the room. Tears prickled at my eyes as I took in my surroundings. “Daddy, oh my… It- It’s beautiful.”
The longest wall was covered in the most beautiful mural I’dever seen. A lovely, glowing sunrise was depicted rising over a mountain landscape. The forest trees were scattered across the mountains, shrouded in a gorgeous, dusty blue fog, as a majestic dragon’s silhouette soared through the sky.
Daddy held me tight against him as he took me around the room. The excitement and pride in his voice as he showed me everything he’d collected for his boy… for me, was palpable. In one corner of the room lay a full-sized bed that was surrounded by custom railing. It looked like a crib, except bigger, but it sat flat on the floor. The bed was filled with various stuffed animals and soft blankets, which made me want to jump inside and roll around. I wiggled with excitement, making Daddy’s grip tighten around me.
“Just a bit longer, little one, and then we’ll get you dressed so you can play.”
I squealed softly in excitement as we made our way to the other side of the room. There was a changing table and dresser combination in the corner that was obviously made for an adult.
“Did you make that, Daddy?”
He leaned forward and kissed the tip of my nose. “I made most of the furniture in here except the gliding chair. But yes, the changing table, railing, and various shelves were all made by me.”
“They’re gorgeous. You’re so talented!”
The glider was wide enough that Daddy could hold me in his lap and rock me while giving me a bottle. Several small bookshelveswere overflowing with books; next to them sat a cubby with colored bins, each labeled on the front.
“Thank you, sweetheart. I’m so thrilled you like it.”
“Like it? Daddy… It’s a playroom full of Dragons and fun toys. I don’tjustlike it… I love it.”
His smile was blinding, and his eyes sparkled with satisfaction. I planted a big kiss on his cheek and then nuzzled the side of his face with mine. “Thank you, Daddy! It’s so magical in here… I can’t believe it.”
“Believe it, baby… only the best for you.”

Daniel
Tristan wriggled in my hold. He wasn’t trying to break free; instead, he was so excited that he couldn’t contain it.
