Steal the Show •On Hold•

Chapter Twenty One

Cam squeezed his girlfriend's backside, making her jerk on her sleep. "Sorry, Baby," He said, running a hand over her hair.

Lawrence smirked at him. The two had just finished a heist and were talking in Cam's room. "You know that that would probably be more fun with her bare bottomed."

Cam looked down at Artemis' sleeping face and shook his head. "Already feels weird to touch her over her clothes when she's sleeping. I want consent from her before I do anything else."

"It's not like you're gonna have a little fun with her or something. Just do it. She's just a girl."

"Well, I actually love my significant other, unlike you."

"Trust me kid, I love my girl. She just was disobedient."

"So you let her take the fall for the crime you committed."

"Yeah, well, she only got six years. It wasn't that bad. Better her than me. And stop rolling your eyes at me you're no better. You beat Artemis into submission."

"That's when she gets stupid and can't obey a simple command. It's not like I beat her so she submits to more abuse."

"It wasn't abuse, it was literally Paula's entire purpose in life."

Cam scoffed.

"You scoff now, but you'll do the same thing. Mark my words." Crusher walked out.

Cam heard a little yelp from Artemis who was now awake. He realized that Crusher made him angry enough that he dug his nails into Artemis. "Oh, Princess, I'm so sorry! Go back to sleep, please." He laid down next to her, wrapping his arms around her. Artemis eventually drifted off, and he smiled at her, kissing her head.

Cam woke up, his hand stretching to the other side of the chilly bed, trying to find the warmth that his beautiful girlfriend provided. When he found nothing, he got angry, the memories of his girl's betrayal infuriating him. Artemis was HIS girl, HIS baby, HIS princess. Not anyone else's. She wasn't allowed to be. Cam loved her too much. And yet she'd gone skipping off to the West kid. As if three years of devotion to her true love hadn't happened.

But she had. And Cam was going to make sure that she knew that. Artemis was going to be his once again, and NOTHING was going to get in his way.
