Hewas not for me.
Fuckinghell.
Butthat didn’t stop me from peering out the window like an anxious teenager waiting for their prom date.Maybemy behavior was a big signIneeded to get laid.Thoughthe thought of going to a club or using an app made me so tiredIimmediately decided my hand was much more appealing.Especiallybecause afterMondayI’dbeen picturingFelixasIjerked off.AndI’dbeen jerking off alotsinceMonday.
Afteran endless wait,Felixarrived.Okay, he was right on time, but whatever.Imanaged to hold off on opening the door until he knocked soIdidn’t scare him into falling over again.Hecame inside with a smile and whirl of warmMayair with a hint of lemon.Possiblya body wash?
AndnowIwas imaginingFelixin the shower.Ibet my dick would love tunneling between his thick thighs.
Fuck.
Obliviousto theFelix-based porn in my head, he dropped his bag near the door and went into the living room to say hi toMariposa.She’dbeen reclining regally on the couch but deigned to stand whenFelixcame close.Hecasually picked her up and sat on one side of the couch with her.Isank onto the other cushion.Icould hear her purring as he scratched her chin.
“Whata good kitty cat, aren’t you,Mariposa?”Felixcrooned.Hepursed his lips and made kissing noises as he held her up to his face.
“Oh, hey,”Icroaked out. “Um,Ididn’t pay you for last time.Howdo you want to handle that?”
“Oh!Thanksfor asking.”Hesmiled at me, andI’dhave given a lot to have that smile in my life full time.
Whatthe fuck?Sexfantasies were one thing, but my mind was going into boyfriend mode.
“Iusually send an invoice at the end of each week.Doyou preferVenmoorPaypal?”
Iwrenched my brain back into the conversation. “Um, either is fine.”
SinceIhave a master’s degree in finance,Iimmediately started to analyzeFelix’sprobable business setup and risks.Atleast it was a more appropriate line of thought.
“Areyou anLLCor a sole proprietorship?”
“Oh, sole proprietorship.”
Igrunted.Oddswere he didn’t make enough money yet to justify separating the income and liability.
“Doyou have liability insurance?”
Felix’sfingers stilled inMariposa’sfur.Heturned toward me, his face scrunched up. “Um, no?”
Inodded. “Toobig an expense at this stage of your business.Doyou own your own home or any other large assets?”
Felixlooked alarmed. “Whydo you want to know?”
Igrimaced and put out a reassuring hand. “Sorry.Habit.Mybackground’s in finance.It’sjust, you’re going into people’s homes.Mymind automatically goes to the worst-case scenario.”
Hecocked his head, lasering his eyes on mine. “Well,Ican’t imagine a worst case that has to do with owning my own home, so you’re going to have to spell it out for me.”
Ifelt one side of my mouth quirk up.Iwas delighted withFelix’sacerbic tone.Iwouldn’t have to hold back my own sharp tongue.
“Sorry.Iwas thinking about liability.Like, if you knocked over somebody’sMingvase or something.Sinceyou’re a sole proprietorship they could sue you for all your assets.”
Felix’sface went white.Shit. “Butit’s very unlikely,”Irushed to say. “Andthere’s things you can do to mitigate the risk, even if you don’t have insurance.Likea liability waiver.”
“Oh.”Felix’seyes were wide. “LikeI’dget all my clients to sign it?”
“Right.”Fuck.Felixneeded to be protected, but it wasn’t worth panicking him over. “Uh, would you like me to look into putting one together for you?”
Iwouldn’t have thought it possible, butFelix’seyes got even wider. “Well.Like,Imean,Idon’t want you to waste a lot of your time.”
Ishrugged and fiddled with my cane. “Ican find a template on the internet, and we’ll tailor it to your situation.Itwon’t take any time at all.”
