J.R.R Tolkien writes "Bilbo had heard tell and sing of dragon-hoards before, but the splendour, the lust, the glory of such treasure had never yet come home to him. His heart was filled and pierced with enchantment and with the desire of dwarves; and he gazed motionless, almost forgetting the frightful guardian, at the gold beyond price and count"

From this we can summarize that Bilbo was absolutely taken aback from the wondrous sights he sees. J.R.R Tolkien also writes that Bilbo gazed upon the dragon and treasure "for what seemed an age" in my opinion he felt a certain thrill from this sight.

Hope that helps!
