The next couple of days went quickly for Edward.  He was busier than usual but his girls were a tremendous help.  They stayed on top of anything they could help with and the patients liked Jessica, especially the men.  She was gentle and warm with them so they tended to overlook the provocative way she dressed.  Edward didn't overlook it at all.  His eye was on her whenever she was around, especially when she bent over to hand him something or pick something up.<br/><br/>At night, in private, he made sure she knew how much he cared about her.  He knew how threatened she was by the idea that he would go poly.  He wouldn't say anything to her but the truth was he was  bit nervous about it himself.  If it wasn't going to be M/s with both of them, he wouldn't even consider it.  He had no idea how Jessica would react when it came down to the wire and he told her it was put up or shut up.  He would tell her before they left that he was so pleased with her work, he was giving her a raise.  That part was true but it would draw her in further.  Then, when they got to the resort, he would tell her what it was.  If she wanted to stay, it would be as his slave.  If not, the limo would take her home and she could look for another job.  He would still give her a strong recommendation but she would have to find another job.<br/><br/>He wondered if Tess would like that.  He knew his slave and he was pretty sure she would have mixed feelings.  She would be glad to see one she considered her rival out of the way but she wanted him to have what he wanted at any cost to her.  It was part of being a slave.<br/><br/>Finally it was Saturday and they waited for Jessica to arrive so they could leave.
