    TylerA couple of days ago, I was more than a bit shocked when I find Jessica was having lunch and laughing freely with Elsie."I'm not sure I like you making friends with my ex," kissing the nape of her neck, I pulled her back flat to my front."What, why? I'm having coffee with her later this afternoon." She turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder pulling me lower for a deep sexy kiss. Jessica was looking beautiful in my t-shirt and her lacy panties and nothing else.It was our lazy Saturday morning thing, I love spending hours cozying up with her in the penthouse, and sharing my weekend time with someone else was a thing that I'm not willing to part. I'd have her locked in my basement if have one, that's how possessive I was of my fiancée."Seriously? but this is our weekend, I even move mom's thing to Monday. You know she hated that, and

The voluptuous assistant said as she kept her eyes on my engagement ring."Elsie, thank you for helping me out."It was one of that mid-week office madness. My new PA decided that it's a good time for him to have a meltdown and be the drama queen and leave me to my office affairs. He was my third PA after Kayleigh, and I'm not sure I'll be getting her replacement anytime soon.That morning Elsie had been helping me out because Tyler was out on a meeting across town and won't be coming in until later that afternoon. He was attending another big emergency after Larry decided to have a day off probably having his sexual adventures with one of his women."Thank you again, for helping me out.""It's the least I can do after what happened to you."
