“Oh, it is. She’s very evil, aren’t you, my little kitty-cat?”

The kitten meowed, and I stepped aside, allowing the duo inside. I walked towards the girls’ room just as Kataleya stepped out with Claire. Like always, she held her teddy in her arms. Her hair was braided as well, and she was in her matching pyjamas. I smiled at them both.

“Thank you, Claire.”

“Nothing to thank me for, Luna. Would you like me to tuck them into bed later?”

“No, I think we’re having a family sleepover today,” I said, making Kataleya’s eyes light up.

“Really, Mama?”

“Really,” I said, taking her hand and leading her back to mine and Alejandro’s bedroom. We had all just gotten comfortable on the bed as Dante glared at the kitten, who was purring against Skyla’s arm.

“Aww, Malevolent is such a good, bad kitty….” she cooed as Alejandro stepped out of the adjoining room, phone in hand and a frown on his face.

My heart skipped a beat. He could deny it all he wanted, but he looked pretty sexy in those satin pyjama bottoms… even that was an understatement. He looked too good. His tatted body was on full display with his piercings and those drool-worthy abs. I could see the black band of his designer boxers, and every step he took made my attention fall to his package.Oh, Goddess… I could worship him day and night…

My mouth felt dry, and I licked my lips, swallowing hard. My core throbbed, and I was about to look away when his eyes snapped to mine, making my heart thump.

Keep eye-fucking me, Amore Mio, and movie night will be over faster than you can say, ‘fuck me now’.

I smiled slightly. As much as I’d love that, this movie night was something I was not going to risk.

Noted, my sexy beast,I replied with amusement as Kataleya settled next to me on the bed.

“Not wanting to dig into the treats just yet?” I asked her, as the other two already were. Alejandro sat down on her other side, making the bed dip slightly, and planted a kiss on Kataleya’s forehead before leaning over and kissing my lips.

“So, what are we watching?” He asked, leaning back against the headboard and picking up a can of Coca-Cola for himself.

“This movie,” I said as Dante went back to the movie we’d had on pause from the start. It was a new kid’s movie and one that I was sure we would all enjoy.

“A kid’s show,” Dante said, dropping onto his stomach. The kitten climbed off Sky, coming toward us and making Kataleya giggle.

“Daddy, I named the kitty Malevolent,” Skyla said as she helped herself to some chocolates.

“That’s a weird name,” Alejandro replied as Kataleya stroked it.

“It isn’t. I asked Claire to help me find a name that is similar to Maleficent,” Skyla stated, “and this one is purrrrfect!”

“It is.”

The movie began. We chatted and joked as we watched it. It felt good to have everything back to normal again.

“So, why didn’t you ask if you had a gift since I got Sky the cat?” Alejandro asked Kataleya, who was resting her head on his chest as she watched the movie. She looked up at him curiously.

“Did Daddy get me something, too?” she whispered.

“Yeah… it isn’t much, but I thought you’d like it.” He leaned over and took something from the top drawer next to the bed as I watched them, smiling. He grabbed a little pale pink box and, opening it, took out a golden locket, making me smile as Kataleya smiled softly.

“For me?” He opened the heart pendant and held it out to her. I could see there were two tiny images already inside.

“Yeah. See? You get to put two pictures in it. I put us in there already. I look weird as fuck, though,” he said, making me smile as I watched him. She giggled, taking the necklace.

“No, Daddy, you look very handsome,” she said, her smile fading as she looked at the other image. “This…”

Enrique.

“You can remove it when you want, but… you don’t need to always carry Kiké around. I thought this shit might be better? Like, when you go to school.” Her eyes pooled with tears, and I struggled to keep my own back as she flung her arms around Alejandro’s neck, kissing his cheek.
