Scrappy was already sound asleep on the pillow as Camilla climbed into Royal’s bed. She scooped up the puppy in her arms and cuddled it to her chest as she pulled the crisp blankets over her body.

That was a really good kiss.

Camilla ran through her Rolodex of first kisses, comparing it to all of her past kisses to see where Royal stacked up. Better than Donovan? Oh hell yeah. It looked like she had a new winner. Royal’s sexy lips were soft yet firm and she liked the way that his strong hands pressed up against her lower back, pulling her in nice and close.

She moaned softly as she stared up at the moonlight shining on the ceiling. Camilla inhaled long and slow, trying to breathe in Royal’s rugged scent off his pillow but they just smelled like Scrappy.

She felt bad. The poor guy was outside sleeping in a tent.

I should just leave now while he’s sleeping.

Camilla hated going to bed. It was at this time that she was alone with her self-loathing thoughts, unable to escape from them, unable to hide. They would torment her until she finally fell asleep. She would lay there staring at the ceiling wishing that she could go back and change all of the bad things she had done, apologize to all of the people who she had hurt.

Royal was right outside. She could go apologize to him now and confess to her lies. She felt horrible for deceiving him but that old fear was always right at the forefront of her thoughts. Camilla pictured the strung-out girls with the short latex skirts, and she gripped Scrappy tighter.

Angela never felt guilty. “Fuck them all,” she would say. “Society abandoned us. We’re just taking what’s rightfully ours.”

Camilla would always nod along but she never felt the same way. Angela was too harsh, too angry. They could make ten grand in a day and it wouldn’t be enough for Angela. It was never about the money with her. She had emotional scars, she had been hurt. She wanted to steal everything from everyone. She wanted to watch the world burn.

Angela had a hole in her soul that she tried to fill with money but it would never fill up.

Camilla never had much need for money beyond food, shelter and the other necessities. All that Camilla ever wanted was a family. She could manipulate and fool people into giving her anything, but she couldn’t manipulate anyone into loving her.

She squeezed Scrappy gently and kissed the top of his sleeping head. Maybe it’s time to give up this life of lies and theft.

She liked Royal. He seemed like a genuinely good guy who liked her back, but where could she go from here? She had told too many lies. He thought that she was a princess and he didn’t even know her real name.

She hugged Scrappy and closed her eyes tight.

I’m going to be alone forever.
