《Taming Cameron (COMPLETE)》Chapter 16
Advertisement
Cameron stood there silent, a wave of thoughts flashing through her head, all jumbled and confusing. For the first time in a long while, she felt panicked and at a loss of words. She wasn't quite sure, how she'd get herself out of this one.
"Aren't you going to answer me!", Katelyn barked, and Cameron winced, the panic and hysteria in Katelyn's voice causing her to go numb.
She watched Danny from the corners of her eyes and she was shocked to see how composed he was.
"Katelyn this is not what it looks like", he defended cooly.
Cameron rolled her eyes at his choice of words, that being the most overused line ever.
Katelyn snorted. "I'm not an idiot. I saw what I saw!", she exclaimed brokenly.
Cameron suddenly felt guilty and embarrassed. "That was a mistake", she put in firmly.
Katelyn's gaze darted towards her, venom in her eyes. "You!?", she hissed. "How could you? You're engaged to be married to my brother. How could you this to him?", she spat harshly.
Cameron sighed. "It was a mistake and I didn't mean for that to happen", she defended.
Katelyn brushed the tears from her face and swallowed visibly, trying to compose herself, but one could not miss the hurt that was etched on her face.
"I thought you were a nice person, but you're a bitch like most of Nate's girlfriends", she grounded out firmly, then turned to Danny, her lips trembling.
"I want you out of this house now", she croaked, using her hands to hug her body.
"Come on Kate, we can work this out", Danny cut in pleadingly, moving towards Katelyn.
"Don't touch me!", she hissed, just as Danny was about to reach for her. "And as for working this out. I don't think so", she spat bitterly. "I want you out of here", she sniffed.
Danny raked his fingers through his hair and sighed, watching Katelyn dash from before them, and into the house.
He turned to Cameron immediately, only to receive a stinging slap to the face. "Look what the f*ck you just caused!", she spat through tightly clenched teeth.

"You better pray, all goes well Daniel or you'll have hell to pay. Now, you better go and make up with your girlfriend before she does something we'll both regret!", she said then waltz away, leaving Danny to stare at the empty spot she once occupied.

Cameron moved towards the house, her heart tightening with every step she took. She was furious, frustrated, and fearful at the same time, a series of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. She ignored the dull ache that throbbed at her temples, knowing that it was the start of a shackling migraine.
She increased her pace, desperately wanting to escape to her room and curl up on the warm and soft folds of the duvet. This reunion thing was driving her nerves and she wished it to be over soon.
Cameron gasped when she bumped into something that caused her to stumble backward. She used one foot to balance herself from falling. Looking up, she found Nate staring at her, his face hard, and his eyes, cold and assessing.
She cleared her throat and swallowed, before she raised a questionable brow.
"What the hell is going on?", he asked firmly.
Cameron shrugged uncomfortably, wondering if Katelyn had already gone ahead and informed Nate about everything. "What do you mean?", she asked blankly.
"I think you know full well what the hell I mean", he rasped.
"I don't, so try being more specific", she exclaimed.
Nate sighed heavily, grinding his teeth as he glared steely at Cameron. "I just saw...well everyone just saw Katelyn dash upstairs in tears. She was coming from the garden, and you're in the garden so...", he trailed off, wanting Cameron to fill in the blank spaces.
She remained quiet.
"What did you say or do to upset my sister?", he asked in frustration.
She remained quiet.
"Answer me dammit!", he barked. Cameron flinched.
He snorted, his expression hardening as his eyes traveled away from her. Cameron followed his eyes, her stomach doing a double flip when she realized who was standing there
Danny was behind her, a slight smile on his face. Nate's glare traveled from him to Cameron repeatedly then he nodded slowly, understanding dawning on him.

"I'm guessing Katelyn saw the two of you...", his gaze locked on Cameron. "I'm assuming in an intimate position", his eyes were questioning.
"What Katelyn saw was a mistake", she said, wanting to kick herself for sounding so repetitive.
She gasped when, in one lithe movement, Nate lunged himself at Danny, landing a hard punch to his face. He toppled to the ground, touching his hands to his nose, then winced.
Nate flashed his hands then moved towards Cameron. "Upstairs now!", he growled, before he walked away. Cameron glanced at Danny who was easing himself from the ground. She sighed and strolled off behind Nate.
<><><><><><>
She entered the room to find him pacing the floor, his forehead wrinkling in anger. Cameron closed the door behind her and walked slowly towards the bed, her movements stiff. She folded her hands, cleared her throat then sat on the bed.
"How could you do that?", Nate roared as soon as she was seated.
"I didn't do anything. Danny flung himself on me and it so happens that Katelyn saw", she exclaimed evenly.
"What were the two of you doing out there in the first place?", he hissed.
"Danny wanted to talk", she said cooly.
Nate snorted, unconvincingly. "And I'm assuming 'talking' in his case, included sticking his tongue down your throat", he exclaimed wryly.
Cameron rolled her eyes. "I didn't know Danny's intentions, if I did I wouldn't have gone in the first place!", she yelled in utter frustration.
"And you expect me to believe that?", he cocked a brow.
Cameron scoffed, looking at him in disbelief. "You know what, f*ck you!", she spat harshly, moving from the bed and to the bathroom.
Nate grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him. She gasped when their bodies made contact, staring up in his darkened eyes. She saw it coming, and decided not to stop it, allowing Nate's mouth to claim hers.
The possession was bittersweet. Hard but so gentle. She stiffened but soon gave in to the caress. Skillfully, their mouths moved to a song that only they could hear. Nate pulled her closer, their bodies so close, nothing else could come between. Cameron wrapped her arms around his neck, anchoring their bodies to each other. The kiss deepened and so did their passion, both lost in the intensity of the heat that engulfed both their bodies.
Soon, clothes were hurriedly discarded and their bodies were entwined, both lost in the throes of passion.
<><><><><>
The following morning, Cameron woke up, staring blankly at the ceiling, her thoughts flurry. Her stomach did a double flip every time she thought about the events of the night. A wonderful mistake!
She groaned and flung a pillow over her face, stifling her own embarrassment. Nate, she realized was not even in the bed. She had awoken to find him gone, and that was about an hour ago. She was glad though, because she didn't do morning afters.
Easing from the bed, she used the bed sheet to cover her naked form, immediately pausing when Nate stepped through the door. His face was not welcoming at all, Cameron realized, and she wondered what was wrong. Her gaze drifted to the file in his hand and her forehead wrinkled.
"Good morning", she smiled stiffly.
He didn't answer her, just moved towards her, and plopped the file beside her, his face stoic.
"The whole family knows. Looks like you really pissed off Emily", he cocked a brow.
Cameron stared at Nate, then at the file laying on the bed, confused.
"The contract that we had is terminated. I want you out of here in the next hour. Your ticket is in that file, along with a check, so you'll have enough money for stability until you can find yourself another job", he hissed bitterly, then strolled from the room, leaving a dumbfounded Cameron.
