Title: For Jay's Design...

The way Tess told Jay what he should do was more of an order rather than a discussion between equal partners in this relationship. The way she told it to Jazz was not the same as what happened. This illustrates to me that they still need couples counseling. And how will she broach the subject, by telling him they're going to therapy? Jazz is right, it ain't gonna get any easier.

Enjoyed this chapter. Hoping they don't think that this is the end of it.

I am glad that Tess has Jasmine in her life, she has the ability to talk down stupid.  I am glad that she thought rationally about what Jay said to her and reined in her crazy.  More please, I know greedy ain't I.

Title: Brown Eyes of Green...

I love this story but I wonder... why is there always such a big importance on Tess's money. Yes she is a partner at the firm and yes she makes good money, she's succesfull but is there anything else to her? Her looks? Sure. I mean we know she loves her best friend, her mom and Jay, but what else is there? 


I dunno it just rubbed me the wrong way when Jay said, "You are 32 years old, partner of a firm, making six figures, and you are ridiculously sexy.” Like why does he have to mention six figures. It's a bit weird he didn't say any real qualities like 'your kind and caring or you always have everyone's back or you're a strong beautiful woman.'


Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but throughout the chapters, we've learned at what car Tess drives, her louboutins, her suits, her manicures, etc. I know she takes care of her mom financially and that's about it. It just seems like there a lot of focus on that as if those things make her a better person.


I really like this story because it's light and sexy but those are just the things that I thought I should mention. Keep up the good writing

You have asked the $64K question. Was it ever more than sexual chemistry? I honestly don't know.

Tess needs to listen to what Jay is saying. He might be all kinds of wrong, but he is telling her how he feels. If she didn't want to hear the truth as he sees it, she shouldn't have asked him. I knew that was part of his willful ignorance.

They need counseling. They need to be taught the tools needed in listening to each other without getting all bent out of shape when they don't like what's being said. They also need to learn how to state their feelings without coming across as blaming each other. Yeah, they need counseling and soon.

How can you have a real relationship if you hide your feelings from your partner? It will only fester and eventually manifest itself in some god awful ways, as evidenced by the Toni debacle. Tess may be pissed right now, but she should be glad that he told her. If this marriage is going to work, they need to be honest with each other. Now we're getting the heart of the matter. The assistant was just a symptom. It's about to get real intense. Jay brings more to the marriage than a penis or at least he should. We'll see where they go from here.

Tess sometimes gets on my nerves, she asks jay to be HONEST and then gets Mad when he is, she can't have it both ways.

IMO they need some Marriage Counseling b/c they will not make it.

Title: Only Symptoms of the Disease...

Jay is working on my last nerve. He is basically accusing Tess of making him feel insecure. She didn't make him stay in the company. She can't help that she makes more money than him. He married and ambitious woman and now he wants to be a big ass baby because he can't accept it. It's time for Jay to be a man. Quit the company and pursue his own dreams. I never thought it was a good idea for them to be at the same job anyway. Just too much of a conflict of interest. I think once he feels like he's accomplished something on his own, he can stop being such a whiner. Tess should have set him straight instead of shutting him out because knowing Jay, he's probably going to hold this over her head too. They both need to grow up.

Tess is probably in the bathroom crying like a big baby bc she couldn't handle the truth.  She's book smart, but it seems that when it come to her man, other than knowing how to sexually satisfy him, she has to call Jasmine for advice. 

Toni knowing Tess has clout may bow out, but she is also vindicative and will throw it up in Tess's face that Jay is only there bc she is partner. 

I think Jay has only stuck around to be near Tess--his dream is to be an artichtect and he is more than capable.  He should move on and let Tess be the one to sometime bring him coffee and muffins. 

My mama once told me that any man will want to be your equal or more in a relationship--that's just the way they are.

Title: Only Symptoms of the Disease...

The love making was hot!  Tess you asked for honesty but I knew she wasn't ready for it.  Maybe Jay needs to put feelers out for another job in another company?  Tess is a partner a nd it seems as if she chooses her career over her marriage to me.  She didn't travel for three weeks which was good because r hey needed time together and slutopia needed to dealt with I n a way only a woman could.  Why didn't Jay trust Tess? Why didn't he trust her judgement?  Slutzilla made him feel like man and papid attention to him when Tess was busy being a partner and not his wife. Tess. Just you your husband requires your love and attention children will too. How will s he handle the aded responsibility of children? They need couples therapy!   Tess iis making my eye twitch and now Jay knows that he can't share his deepest innermost thoughts with her. Shame on them both for thestate of their marriage.  Shame on Tess for shutting out emotionally! These two frustrate me to the inth degree but Tess at times makes my teeth itch!  She was doing better then she scts stupid again. Now Jay, I was staunchest supporter and you went deaf, dumb and blind! Smh, but still love you Jay!  I am begginv, please make them both hop off the stupid train?!  Excellent work!!!

Title: Only Symptoms of the Disease...

What Jay did was WRONG and I think I would be still pissed although, I know everyone makes mistakes. Tess did right, but Jay also did right by telling her how he really felt and Tess got mad all over again. Yes, Jay should not be feeling insecure, but I don't know, if I were a dude and had Jay's background I would probably feel like an ornament too. Now some dudes don't care, they'll let their woman be the one bringing in the most money and not even care or want to strive to contribute. But Jay is contributing just not as much as he thinks he should. He does not know his purpose as he stated.

With the way he designied his apartment, his name should be on the side of a architectural building. And most people in Jay's position would be okay with having favors handed to them and a trust fund, but Jay wants more and I can see and understand that, but if he wants more he was to figure out what it is and try to make it happen without letting his diminished ego get in the way because a woman showing him too much attention and it's not his wife will lead to trouble unless it is a family member or long time friend who is just concerned about him as a friend and/or brother and not a piece of meat ready to jump. Of course a dude should be able to tell if the woman is shady or not or just being nice. A woman running up on a man and knows he's married it shady.

I feel for Jay, but he also has to see were Tess is coming from and Tess did ask him for the TRUTH and now she can't handle it. Like I said, I can understand her gripe, 'Is Jay going to feel giddy and manly just because some broad shows him attention?' But he is being honest with her and that counts. She started the first line of communication to why Jay let it go as far as he did with Toni and then once he explained his reasoning she shut the communication off because she did not want to hear it. I hope Tess does not cramp up and let Jay explain to her his fears/concerns. Because sometimes in some instances if the wife or husband finally opens up to the other and they cannot handle it, they may not be as open or honest next time because of the reaction they received. I don't think Jay will do this but Tess has to take what she asked for and communicate with Jay to fix it.

Loved the update!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what Jay is going to say about this because this is exactly what he did to Eric in the hallway.  Plus, we all know that Toni is not gone for good.  I have a feeling she will try to play on his sympathy to drive a wedge in between them.  I hope Jay stands his ground and forcefully says no and back it up with action because I don't think he was fighting that hard during that struggle which makes me wonder if he will cheat.  I just feel like if she would have gotten him inside orally or vaginally he would have done it and then felt sorry afterwards, because back to massage.  It just felt good.  Can't wait for your next update, I am hooked on their story.

WOW!  Loved that last butt kick Tess gave her.  The couple needs to talk and then decide if they need counseling.  Tess may want to take some anger management classes, but Toni brought this whupping.

Jay shouldn't feel bad about the erection--it was natural and Tess should have been on the job.  Toni will be back--why look at Jay?  I think in her own mind, she thinks Jay wants her and I have to kinda question that, too. 

He should have been the man in this situation and let Toni go, no matter what Tess said.  Right now, Jay needs to slap that man card down, before Tess hit him again.

Wow. Jay should've called security as soon as he saw what Toni was doing. He should have told her she was fired and had security come escort her out.

That whole Disclosure-esque scene could've been avoided if he had heeded everyone's warnings. Jay invited this drama. 

Toni is crazy. Tess is crazy too. Lol. I wouldn't have beat up Toni. She would've been just as shocked and outraged if Tess came in there cool as a cucumber and fired her. Toni will be back. That beat down won't stop her. She probably thinks Jay is with Tess because of her status in the firm.

I strongly feel like communication is the key. You cannot dictate your way through a marriage like its a business deal. Tess is still the dumbest smart I've ever read about. She is on the fast track to losing her man and I see it now. Jay really can't be this simple minded, he had better transfer her ass to  the mailroom quick fast and in a hurry before this shit spirals out of control.

Clearly Jay and Tess now need to release some long overdue tension lol they need to rekindle seriously I can not handle the no Tess and Jay interaction its killllllllingggg me! 

And they need to have a serious talk like they can not trust each other? Jay needs to get his head out the clouds your attractive and nice! shit thats what every woman is trying to find so you need to hold your ground and make sure your wife can believe that you only have eyes for her!

As for Tess that ass whooping was well deserved but she needs to let go a little granted Jay made a little mistake here with the massage and lying but he really does only have eyes for Tess and she needs to believe and trust in him damn girl why did you marry him if you can't!

That was awesome Tess schooled slutzilla but it wasn't nearly paindul enough as she was able leave under her own steam. Jay needs to think about why he didn't see the devil in his midst? Tess try to tell your dumb ass but you cc thought you knew better, why?  Tess you need to work on your insecurity and Jay needs to be less stupid when it comes to women.  Tess could sense a thirsty ho because Eric made her one.

First I want Tess to ride Jay hard because they need some se ual healing then I want them to have a serious conversation.   Also seek some couples therapy because they have some trust issues.  Jay doesn't trust her judgement of situations or people and Tess doesn't trust in his love. At least that is my assesment of the situation.

What!?  This is it?  I saved your story for last, you know, as in 'saved the best for last'?

I agree with Jay, Tess shouldn't have slapped him--hard.  When they make up, he can spank her. 

Wonder what Trifling Toni has up her sleeve next?  TT is not going down w/o a fight, esp. since Jay admitted there is trouble in paradise.

I think our girl Tess is testing Jay by holding out; hope it don't come back to bite her.

On the bright side, Jay passed the test with a B+; stop telling TT anything about their private life.
