I finish reading through the document for the third time. I understand most of it. However, I know that one word can change the meaning of a whole sentence. I realize that I might have missed something. Iâm not a lawyer. As the general enjoyed pointing out, I donât even have a college education. I got six months at college before I was forced to drop out.
I consider asking for a lawyer to help me understand a couple of things better. Maybe I need to re-word a clause or two.
Who am I kidding? I donât have time for that. My mom needs the cash and right now. She must be freaking out.
I go out into the living room and find Steel lifting weights. Heâs shirtless. Thereâs now a basic gym set-up as of a few days ago.
Steel is doing bicep curls with the biggest free weights Iâve ever seen. Heâs still good-looking, even though heâs straining and sweating. Actually, he might even look more attractive, which is saying something.
âYou good?â he asks as he pumps the weights. Up and down, up and down. Iâm mesmerized.
I need to stop ogling him, especially after what happened earlier. We had a moment. Instead of telling me what Rex wanted to do to me, I think he told me what he wanted to do to me. It was a little wicked and a lot dirty. Hearing him say how hard he wanted to make me come had me getting wet in an instant. If Iâd stayed in the room with him, I would have jumped him, and I know that Steel would have turned me down flat. I know it. Itâs how he is, namely completely strait-laced. Even that is pretty hot.
âIâm good. I need to sign this.â I hold up the document. âBut I need a witness, and youâre it.â
He puts the dumbbells down. I place the contract on the table and sign the thing after first initialing the individual pages.
He wipes his face with a towel as he walks over to me, throwing the towel over the back of a chair.
He smells really good. Masculine and yet like soap, spearmint, and sandalwood, maybe. Itâs a great combination. Makes me want to bury my face in his chest or to lick himâ¦all over. How can he smell so great when heâs all sweaty like that? Iâm beginning to realize that he doesnât run like the rest of us. Heâs on another level.
Steel signs where it says witness, then puts down the pen. âYou sure youâre comfortable sending this in? Donât you need more time? If youâre not happy, you can ask for something to be changed.â
I nod. âNo, Iâm good. Also, my mom needs the ten thousand dollars. Back and forthing over the fine print of a contract could make this drag on for weeks. My family doesnât have weeks, and I donât want to delay this; the sooner itâs over, the better.â
He nods once, grabbing his cell phone. He types for a few seconds.
