Ryder’s cheeks turn bright pink. "No lies detected. Iwasthinking about my Daddy."
"All we did was playLittle Bo Peep Goes To Stuffy Mountain." Mattie isn’t impressed by my interrogation skills. "And Ryder taught me about stuffy kink."
A frisson of heat rams through me. "Stuffy kink, eh?"
Ryder bobs his head. "You don't know whatyou’re missing out on until you try it."
I’m preparing to make a snappy remark when a memory flashes through my mind.
It jolts me back to the month before I was released from prison.
Trevion motions me over to his bed. "I’ve been waiting for you, Daddy."
"What the fuck are these rumors about you banging Darnel?" I clench my fists.
"I’ve never fucked Darnel in my life."
My eyes turn to slits. "Bullshit."
"It’s the truth."
"I love you too much to allow you to lie to me. Tell me the truth—or we’re done."
Trevion whines as he tugs something out from behind his pillow. "All Darnel did was give me this teddy bear that his little girl handed him to protect. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Darnel doesn’t have a daughter."
"Not his real daughter—his prison bitch daughter. Javier dresses up in women’s clothes and role-plays as his little girl."
I smack my forehead. "I gave my motherfucking heart to you. You’re trampling on it."
"Inevercheated on you," Trevion coos, beckoning me to the bed. "Come and rut me. You won’t regret it."
"Only if you put that teddy away," I snap.
Trevion glares at me. "Mr. Snuggles stays."
My eyes bulge as this memory snaps a switch inside me. "You’re right."
Mattie shoos Ryder away. "It was fun playing with you, Ryder. I’ve got to speak to Medici."
Ryder blows Mattie a kiss. "I’ll play with you and Little Bo Peep any time."
When Ryder leaves, Mattie takes my hand and leads me to two chairs in the backyard—away from the patio where someone could stumble across us.
He looksadorable.There’s no getting around it.
The sun that streaks across the sky illuminates a sparkle in his irises.
I didn’t notice it before, but he has three freckles on his pointy nose—they look sweet enough to kiss.
Mattie sucks in a breath as he sets Cloudy down. "I need to apologize for being a brat yesterday. I wasn’t thinking straight—I’d never been kidnapped before and my brain was twisted up. Ryder and I spoke about our shared kidnapping experiences after wetook care of ourselves—rubbies in our stuffies, which all Littles do—and I realized I reacted poorly. I won’t be a brat again."
"No need to say sorry. I’ll be honest—I caught a thrill when you ran your little mouth. Naughty thing. Talking back when I’m rescuing you—you’re no wilting flower, that’s for damn sure. Not about to roll over and let Daddy trample all over you. Thanks for being yourself—I know you have a sweet boy inside you. It’ll take time to coax him out because of the trauma you went through—as well as the shit you dealt with in your day-to-day life. I hope I’ll see him soon."
Mattie blushes. "I appreciate your understanding." He lifts his gaze. "Hey—about this wholeDaddy thing."
I grit my teeth. "Yes?"
