Her life had always been about taking opportunities whenever they presented themselves. The place she had failed for that had been in her emotions towards Jeff. Tess had been too afraid of making that move until someone else had made the move. She had been hurt then and had vowed never to waste any opportunities ever again.
Those kinds of promises had ways of returning to bite one in the ass though, she thought as she saw the men postulating like cocks fighting for dominance over a hen. It was weird that she was the hen they were fighting over. No one had ever fought over Tess before. It did not even matter that the fight was Egu protecting her from Jeff's wrath. It was simply the image of two men having a disagreement that involved her.
