“What?” Daddy said, looking between Dom and Sofia. “What are you talking about?”

“Sofia walks home every night,” Dom replied and her eyes went wide. “Lucas, Pete, and I were talking the other night about it and thought you knew but that wouldn’t make sense. No Dom that’s part of the club allows any of the employees or Littles to leave unless they have a ride or are driving.”

“No!” She yelled.

Both of their heads snapped towards her. Her head was pounding at this point, but she didn’t care. Dominic was telling Daddy her secret that she wasn’t ready to share yet.

“Is this true?” Daddy asked.

But she didn’t pay any attention to Daddy but looked at Dominic. “It wasn’t your place to tell him!”

“Sofia,” Daddy said. “Look at menow.”

“You weren’t supposed to say anything! It was all fine!” she raised her voice.

“You getting mugged is fine?” Dominic said. “Bullshit. It’s not and you know it.”

“Sofia,” Daddy barked out her name.

She turned her head and glared before looking back at Dominic. She didn’t care at the moment.

“It wasn’t your place to tell him. You should just keep your mouth shut,” she said.

Dominic stepped towards her and bent down a little so that they were on eye level.

“Tiny,” he said. “I want what’s best for you. You shouldn’t have kept that from your Daddy and if I knew that he didn’t know, I would’ve told him the first day. Hell, Pete or Lucas would’ve done the same thing.”

She continued to glare at him, but it didn’t seem to faze him at all.

“Sofia,” Daddy said. “Look. At. Me.”

Her gaze went towards him, and he did not look impressed.

“Don’t you dare glare and get angry with him,” he said.

“But Daddy,” she started to say, but when his eyebrow went up, she went silent.

“But nothing. You knew the rule, and yet you decided to ignore it. Why?”

More guilt started to build up in the pit of her stomach. She knew it was wrong, but she didn’t think it would be this bad. Nothing was supposed to happen to her.

“Sofia,” Daddy said. “Why did you lie?”

“I didn’t want to bother anyone,” she whispered.

That was part of the truth, but the other part was because she didn’t want them to see where she lived. It wasn’t in the best part of town and she was a little embarrassed.

“That’s unacceptable,” Daddy crouched down next to her. “You knew better than to do that. When you’re all better, you’ll get your punishment.”

Her eyes went wide as she stared at him. She was getting punished for that? She wasn’t his at that point.

“I wasn’t yours,” she softly said.

“Doesn’t matter, Tiny,” Dominic said.

“He’s right. You knew the rules we had for every employee and yet you decided to lie and break them,” Daddy grabbed her hand and held it.

Sofia let out a sigh and nodded her head. She wasn’t going to fight him on this.
