Then she remembered that she had one in her hoodie pocket.
Reaching in, she drew it out and threw it at him. Shock filled her as it exploded on his face. He stepped toward her.
She stepped back.
They played that game until she hit the wall behind her.
“Faith! Charlie! Run!” Cat cried.
Faith saw a wet and stern-looking Alejandro grab Cat. He put his leg up on the seat of an armchair and drew Cat over his thigh, smacking her butt several times.
“Nooo!” Cat cried. “Unfair and unjust.”
“Do you think that looks unfair and unjust, Little Blossom?” Reuben asked.
Picking her up, he put her on his hip. She snuggled into him. Faith loved when he carried her around.
“Umm.”
“Say goodbye to Charlie. He’s going home now.”
“Goodbye, Charlie.”
“Um, well.” Charlie looked from Faith to Cat, clearly torn.
“Rafael, call a car for Charlie, please,” Reuben said. “Make sure he gets into it okay.”
“Will do.” Rafael steered Charlie out as Reuben carried Faith into the bedroom.
“What about Cat?” she asked.
“Cat is fine. Alejandro is taking her home now. You need to worry about yourself,” he told her as he entered the playroom and sat on the rocking chair with her cradled on his lap.
“Are you gonna spank me, Daddy?” she asked as she undid the buttons on his shirt. She needed some of his skin.
She might have become addicted.
“No.”
“No?” she asked in surprise.
“Not yet,” he said. “You’re still recovering.”
“You saw me panic, huh?” she asked.
“No. What?”
She bit her lip. Oops. She snuggled into his chest, licking his nipple. Yum. “It was just for a moment. It was the yelling and running. I don’t know why I got all . . . anxious. It wasn’t like I didn’t know what was going to happen.”
“Hmm. I want you to think about talking to someone about all of this when we get back.”
“Like a therapist?” she asked, drawing back to look up to him.
“Exactly.”
Could she do that? Perhaps it would help to talk through everything. “Maybe that would be a good idea.”
“Good. I’ve already made you an appointment.”
