Of course he had.
“I always knew Cat would be a bad influence,” he muttered.
“I know. Isn’t she the bestest?”
To her surprise, Reuben burst into laughter. “Life won’t be boring with the two of you together, that’s for sure.”
It certainly wouldn’t be.
“There’s something I’ve got to tell you.” She ran her finger over his nipple.
He grasped hold of her hand, stilling her. “What is it, baby?”
“Cammie called me.”
Reuben stiffened. “What?”
“Yeah, while I was in the bedroom with Cat and Charlie.”
“And what did she say?”
“Not much. Basically, she said that Eric has disappeared and then she accused you of having something to do with it. Can you believe her?”
Faith was getting angry all over again.
“Did she just?” Reuben mused. “I don’t like that she contacted you like that.”
“I blocked her number and told her not to contact me again.”
“Good. If she does, I want to know. I might have to send her a message of my own, though.”
“I don’t want her hurt, Reuben.”

She breathed in deep and let it out slowly. She was wearing a long dress that buttoned up the front and had a belt around the waist. It was lilac with little white flowers on it. But Reuben had also packed her a Little outfit as well as some other things to distract her during the flight.
“Who is in charge?” he asked.
“You are.”
“You are, Daddy,” he said firmly.
“I can’t go Little yet, Daddy.” She couldn’t slip into Little headspace while there were other people around. Cat had assured her that Alfie, the flight attendant, was a Little and would stay out of their way if she wanted. But that he wouldn’t blink twice at anything he saw.
And that the pilot had been with Alejandro for years.
But there were other people she didn’t know in the airport.
