Spelling gave Kay a puppy dog look and Dan could tell what he was thinking: a beautiful, innocent woman like this could never play a deceptive trick on them. She had said so herself: her equations were just an homage to his. There was nothing to worry about. After a prolonged silence, Spelling looked up. "The appendix is a mess, Mr. Lawson, but I don't see anything financially wrong with it."
Rummaging through the gym bag with her head turned away from Spelling, Kay reveled at the news. He couldn't find anything wrong with her formula, even after she had helped him work through it and corrected his mistake. Poor man. Kay had won another deal.
The ripple started in her belly and spread out to every corner of her body. She welcomed the familiar thrill of conquest, and let loose a silent howl over her fallen prey. Another dishonest businessman lay bleeding at her feet and the taste of victory was sweet. If that wasn't enough, she had just scored a huge bonus, and her barely covered body, shimmering in fake sweat, longed for Dan's touch.
Hello, my friend. I think I'll call you, "deal arousal." Kay's heart was pounding and her whole body tingled as she sat up straight, gripping the arms of the chair. After a few calming breaths, she leaned back in her chair and stared up at the ceiling, one last opportunity to keep their minds off-topic.
Lawson acquiesced. "All right, Dan. I guess we deserved this for sending you such a complex contract. I'm ready to sign."
Keep staring away. They were so very close to signing the contract, and Kay wasn't going to move a muscle until it was really over. It was a sublime moment, pretending to lay there calmly while a rousing victory party was going on inside her head.
Kay stole a look at Lawson and saw him staring at her, pen frozen in his hand. She closed her eyes and waited for the sounds of papers and pens. At first all she heard was silence, and that was fine with her. It didn't matter how long they took to sign the contract, she had nothing else to do today, except perhaps to masturbate and try to take the edge off her raging deal arousal.
Eventually, Kay heard the familiar sounds of contracts being signed, and she knew that the deal was done. Time to sit up now and rejoin them.
She looked at Dan and they smiled briefly at one another. Even in that little glance she saw flames in his eyes, sparks shooting wildly, high-voltage and dangerous. She let out her breath slowly, trying to keep it even and calm. But deep inside, the animal growled and paced impatiently.
