Karen realized she was writing too fast, she realized, and so she set down the pen and took a deep breath as she leanded back. She reminded herself of the dangers inherent in premature celebration. She was about half done copying the legal document longhand, using her beautiful cursive handwriting that never ceased to impress, with liquid ink on the most expensive paper. She would sign the printed one, and give this one to Larry, and tell him that she had done it so he would know that she would never contest this "prenuptial agreement", and her written copy would show that she HAD read it, and understood it.
"Of course I will sign a prenuptial agreement, anything that will help convince you how much I love you... the money is nice, but we could be happy without it."
I would never believe that, she thought, but I guess he did. He probably spent more on the lawyer who wrote this than she had ever earned in a year!
Larry was still a mystery to her in one way, how could someone so successful at so many things be so stupid about women. He had been married three times and now she would be the fourth. And he hadn't learned a thing! He was expert at all things inanimate, she thought. But naive enough to believe that she loved him! And stupid enough to think that a pre-nuptial agreement would keep her from taking his money! Wow. I would NEVER be THAT stupid, she thought. How could ANYBODY love him?? If he opened his eyes, he would see that everybody actually HATED him, and for good reasons, often for excellent reasons. Even his mother could barely stand to talk to him, and she lived like a Queen on the money he gave her! Everything about his personality seemed designed to make other humans detest him, but they usually managed to hide this enough behind their flattery and fawning that he didn't have a clue. Or maybe he had a clue, and just didn't care. The result was the same. Maybe his machines loved him, Karen wondered vaguely, then smiled as she imagined that he was smart enough to build a "Karen" that would love him! Would it be designed to be like her, always challenging and resisting, demanding but always giving in and then flattering him with expressions of love... only to resume the challenge. She knew what he liked... he liked a good battle with a strong opponent, and he liked to WIN in every way. He didn't just want to fuck her mouth, her pussy and her ass...he wanted to win so completely that she loved him for it... and I guess he must think I do or he wouldn't agree to marry me.
She smiled again and stopped writing as she considered that maybe her "feminine wiles" ranked right up there with his "genius", since she seemed almost assured of the larger victory in this battle. But don't celebrate just yet, she thought. One false step, one wrong word, or look, or hesitation could undo all my hard work, she thought.
