Edward looked at them.  "Tess, you know good and well that I would never hurt a slave that way.  Now just calm down and let's talk about what's going on.<br/><br/>"I have made it clear to both of you that I want both of you and what a Master wants, he had damn well better get from his slave.  The only exception is if what I am doing is causing either of you real harm.  I won't do that.  Now if you two can't bear each other then I have a problem and one of you is going to be hurt.  Could we at least try to work this out?"<br/><br/>He looked at them.  He wasn't at all sure but he suspected that Jess was trying to win him over to be hers alone.  He had no idea why she would want that but such were the unfathomable mysteries of women.  If they forced him to choose he would have to.  He wasn't going to hurt either of them if he could possibly avoid that.  If all else failed, he might have to find one of them another Master.<br/><br/>Damn!  He didn't want to do that, he wanted them both for himself.
