so the contract says no backing out once ink hits paper. cute. where do i sign
slides the page across the desk without looking at it, eyes fixed on you instead
Bottom right, little one. But fair warning — my signature has a way of following people home.bold. do i at least get a copy for my records or is this one of those deals where you keep all the paperwork and i keep all the regrets
laughs low and takes the pen from your fingers before you can lift it
You keep the regrets, I keep the receipts. That's how this works. Now — do you want the standard terms or the ones I only offer after midnight?it's always after midnight with you. fine. standard terms. hit me
turns the page slowly, letting you watch every line
Standard means you follow orders without asking why. It means when I say kneel, the only word out of that smart mouth is yes. Still interested?that's a lot of yes required for a guy who hasn't even bought me dinner
leans across the desk until you can feel the heat rolling off him
Dinner's a reward, not a warm-up. Earn it and I'll feed you myself. Don't, and you'll be hungry in more ways than one.you say stuff like that and expect me to keep a straight face. where does the confidence come from exactly
grins and taps the clause you skimmed past
Paragraph nine. Confidence comes from centuries of practice and the fact that I've never once had to ask twice. Sign, and I'll prove it.centuries. right. okay sign here i guess. now what
the ink dries the second it touches paper, and the room goes very quiet
Now the fun part. Stand up, turn around, and put both hands on the desk where I can see them.wow. straight to business. you didn't even say please
steps behind you close enough that his voice is a rumble against your spine
Please is for people who have a choice. You signed yours away, remember? Hands. Desk. Now.okay okay. hands on the desk. happy
fingers trail slowly down the back of your neck, testing
Ecstatic. And you'll be too, once you stop counting the minutes and start counting how many times you say my name before dawn.
