Produktbeschreibung

"Hi Gwen. How's the new job."
Gwen's smile grew wide. "Hi Cheryl. Come to see hubby?"
"Yes. How's the new job."
She waggled her brow. "You know, new job, but I'm getting the hang of it and I love my new boss. Your husband is so-o nice, I could just hug him."
Cheryl smiled. "Well, he'd sure like that. I'm glad you like him. It's so much nicer to work for someone you like."
Gwen bobbed her head. "I know. From what the stage hands say, Mr. Parkson is better to work for than the guy he replaced."
"Is Tommy in?"
Gwen nodded. "Yeah, sure. Just go on in. I don't have to announce his own wife to him."
Cheryl smiled. "Thanks, I will."
When he saw her his face registered surprise then suspicion. "What're you doin' here?"
She took a seat on an empty corner of Tommy's desk. "Can't a girl visit her talented husband at work?"
"Husband, in name only."
"I'm not going to even respond to that."
Tommy eased his chair back. "What'd you come here for?"
"Jamie Lee is open to you being his Best Man at his wedding."
Tommy hitched his head back. "Why me?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "Because you're his friend, I guess."
He shook his head. "Not anymore. You had him pegged from da start. Jamie Lee is an asshole. What I don't understand is how you kin let him touch you."
Cheryl pursed her lips. "Are you sure you want to get into this."
"Yes. You hated his guts."
She shrugged. "It's my job. Some would say you are the asshole for giving me to him in exchange for your dream plum job.'"
Tommy's lips pursed to the side as he fiddled with something on his desk. "Yeah. I was an asshole, too."
She touched his shoulder. "So will you be Jamie Lee's best man?"
He sighed. "Can't tink of a reason why I should do dat?"
"How about because he's your boss, which if you think about it means he owns you. Then there's the nice thing he just did for you."
Tommy's eyes expanded. "Nice ting? Guess I missed that."
Cheryl scrunched her face. "Whatever." Cheryl hitched her head back toward the door. "How's your new assistant working out?"
Tommy's features brightened. "She's still learning, but so far, she's great. She's really a fast learner."
Cheryl reached and straightened his slightly wrinkled collar, then whispered, "You can fuck her you know?"
Tommy's eyes narrowed. "What?"
She smiled. "You heard me. What if I said the bargain worked both ways?"
Tommy furrowed his brow and shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She slid off the desk and eased up to her husband. "Think about it. Did you ask for an assistant?"
"No, but I'm glad she's here. She's a big help."
"Not to mention, Gwen is very easy on the eyes?"
Tommy grinned. "I noticed. What are you getting at?"
"Baby, don't be so dense. You give me to Jamie Lee and Jamie Lee gives something back to you in appreciation. Only he doesn't tell you. You have to figure it out and earn her by yourself and from the way it looks, you don't have to work very hard."
Cheryl could sense the wheels of Tommy's mind spinning.
"She smiled. "I got to go. Shall I tell our boss you're thinking about it?"
Waking from deep thought, he burbled, "Sure."

Jamie Lee glanced up as Cheryl entered his office and smiled. "I did my duty. The rest is up to you."
Jamie Lee furrowed his brow. "What are you talking about?"
She took a seat in one of the two chairs that fronted Jamie Lee's desk. "Tommy. I just told him you want him to be your best man."
He dipped his head. "Yes?"
She giggled. "At first he told me the equivalent of 'fuck off', but I softened him up and laid the groundwork for you."
Jamie Lee flashed an impish smile. "What did you say?"
"Something to the effect that Gwen was quid pro quo for giving me to you. I also intimated that he has my blessing to go for it."
"And?"
"When I left him he was thinking. I think you should ...
