He tickled her sides and she giggled. “No, Papi! Stop!”
“The three of you are bad news together,” Dante said, helping Bonnie up and then grabbing hold of her as she nearly face-planted. He nodded over to Titus, who came over to pick her up in his arms.
“Nooo, where are you taking my new friend?” Cat asked.
“Cat!” Bonnie called, holding her arms out.
“Bonnie!”
Dear. Lord.
“You can see her again,” Alejandro said as he carried Cat to their wing. “She’ll be here for our entire stay. Although I don’t think the two of you should be together without supervision.”
“Maybe we can haves a playdate,” Cat said. “Please, Papi?”
“Playdate? I wasn’t aware that Bonnie was a Little.” He didn’t know much about her, though.
“Uh-huh, Ortega said. And he said that she has some big ideas. She wants to open a store for Littles. Isn’t that cool?”
“Here?”
“No, she wants to do it in the States,” she whispered. “She said that Dante barely lets her leave the compound. Too dangerous. So she’s going to go to the States and open a shop. At first, I told her she should come to New York, but she thought Dante might try to make her live with us. Which would be cool, but not good for her as she wants to do things herself. So then I told her to go to Montana! There’re lots of Littles in Montana, Tabby told me so. Maybe I should introduce them.”
“That’s a lot of plans you’ve made, Cat.”
“I think we should be silent investors. Or just buy lots of stuff from her to support her. Can we do that, Papi?”
“Of course. But I doubt Dante will let her leave.”
“She’s not really happy here,” she said solemnly. “If he cared about her, he’d want her to be happy, right?”
“I suppose you’re right. She wouldn’t be able to let anyone know who she was though. Her relationship to him. Or to me for that matter, even though I don’t know her well.”
He walked into his wing of the house. Two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs with its own kitchen. His men were staying in the self-contained unit attached to this wing of the house.
Alejandro set her down on the oversized bed in the main suite.
“Oh, you can see the ocean from here.”
She tried to sit up, but he gently pushed her down, stripping her clothes off.
Then he drew out one of his clean shirts for her to wear. Their stuff had all been unpacked by Dante’s staff.
“Papi, this isn’t very sexy. I should be wearing sexy stuff since we’re on our honeymoon.”
“That can come later. Right now, I think you need to be taken care of rather than fucked.”
“I’m sorry that you’re always having to rescue me from my impetuous mistakes.”
He had her dressed by now and sat with her on his lap, facing him. He placed his hand on her throat to ensure he had her full attention.
She stared up at him, enraptured.
“You know that taking care of you is what brings me happiness. Being around you, having you in my life . . . it’s not something I deserve. But it’s all that I want. I don’t care how many situations you find yourself in, I will always be there to rescue you, to do whatever is needed. I will always come for you, Cat. No matter what.”
Tears filled her eyes and she hugged him tight. “Me too, Papi. Now, please take me to the toilet. I needs to vomit.”

Cat woke up feeling out of sorts.
Better than yesterday, when she’d discovered the horror that was being hungover.
And yesterday had taught her that she never wanted to feel that again.
She’d spent most of the day in bed, with Alejandro doting on her. He shouldn’t have. It was her own fault. While she’d napped, he’d spent time with Dante. Which was a good thing.
However, that hadn’t been how she’d wanted to start her honeymoon.
She forced herself out of bed.
Where was Alejandro? She’d been hoping to wake him up with her mouth on his dick this morning, but it seemed she’d slept in.
Walking out onto the balcony attached to the main bedroom, she sat on a sun lounger and watched the water.
So beautiful.
“Pequeña, what are you doing out here on your own?” Alejandro gently scolded as he walked out, placing a kiss on her head.
“Just looking at the ocean, Papi. I’m not allowed?” she asked, a bit confused.
“Not today.” He eyed her with something she couldn’t quite figure out. Hunger? Intrigue?
“Why not?”
“Because today, Papi is taking full control. You remember me telling you that your punishment day was coming while we’re on our honeymoon?”
Mierda.
She did, but she’d hoped he would have forgotten.
“Today, Papi? But I didn’t even get to leave the house yesterday.” She wanted to go to the beach today.
“We can leave the house, but you’ll still be completely under my control.”
