Chapter 11

EPOV

As I was driving to work this morning, my mind was on Bella. I was running late, because I stayed longer than I should have. Last night was great, after round one, when we were sitting on her bed; I was going to have her use a toy on herself. But the frozen dildo had me undone. I couldn’t even stop myself.

The images formed in my head, and the next thing I knew she was tied to a chair. I watched her closely, waiting for her to make a sound. I thought that she would last only a few minutes, but she surprised me again. And my god was she beautiful. My fucking dick was a titanium rod watching her trying to control herself.

Her legs were open so far, that she couldn’t get any friction between her thighs. She tried humping the air, but that just frustrated her, and amused me. I wish I could have seen her eyes, but I wanted her blindfolded. So I watched as she creased her brow, biting her bottom lip in an attempt to keep silent. I had to push her, use more force on her nipples then I had planned. It worked, her body reacted just I wanted it to.

The sight of my dick in her mouth along with the feel of her tongue moving over me, I felt like a damn teenager, trying to hold my load. I thought for sure she would gag, but no way, she swallowed like an expert. When I told her she could cum, she wasted no time, screaming out a muffled sound around my dick as she tensed in the restraints. She was fucking fantastic, and I couldn’t wait until I could get her into my playroom.

After my last lecture was over, I headed back to my office. I was done with my work; I just needed to hang around for a while, in case any students had questions concerning the final. Alice called me to tell me that she was just about done with Bella’s outfit. I told her that I would tell Bella and have her come over for a final fitting. After hanging up, I took out Bella’s papers, thinking I would look them over.

She really was inexperienced; she had many things listed as never done. But over in the like too side most were marked off as 2 or 3. Some things amazed me, although I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by anything that concerns her. She marked yes to tattoos and piercings, my girl has a thing for anal sex, she has a strong voyeuristic and exhibitionist tendency and she has no problem with videotaping our sessions. She is an exhibitionist; of course I knew that from Sunday. She also seemed to have a very strong desire for rope bondage that would work well for me, as Zaauuoo is one of my favorite pastimes.

There were a few concerns that I had. She marked experience with fisting and cages, and indicated both as a hard limit. I personally don’t participate in either activity, and I wondered the circumstances that surrounded her participation. If she was only ever with James, it had to have been with him.

I figured this was going to be another story that I really didn’t want to hear, but was going to have to. The only other concern would be her neck. Her vertebras are fused together, causing her to lose full range of motion along with right arm weakness. I’m going to have to keep that in mind. I’ll have to make sure that no extra stress is put on her neck or back. Also, full arm suspension is out, she will need to always have the fullness of her weight on her lower body. I can work with that.

It was close to noon, I wondered what she brought for lunch. I was going to call her, but decided to just walk over to her office. I stood in her doorway she was on the phone with her back to me. She was laughing as she spoke. “What is it with you and peens? Is Bob short changing you lately?”

I knew I was eavesdropping, but I wondered who the fuck she was talking to. Her voice became serious “I’m sorry I am not going to talk about Dr Cullen’s penis with you”

Ok that was enough I made my presence clear. Her chair swung around, she had a shocked expression on her face. “Edward!”
Her face had the most adorable blush, as I stood there watching her. She told Carol – Carol from the center – that she had to go. I thought about her telling me my father was handsome and I figured I would tease her. Besides she looked so nervous as she asked how long I’d been standing there. I didn’t give her a direct answer.
“I’m going to have to keep you away from my father aren’t I?” Yeah, that worked, she was even more flustered, wondering why I said that. I was only playing with her, so I called her an endearment so she would know I wasn’t upset. “Because my pet, first you call him handsome, and then I hear discussing his penis on the phone.”

I teased her a little more, telling her I was going to use the information as blackmail. She didn’t like the thought of that very much. I would never tell, but she doesn’t have to know that. Bella asked why I was there, and agreed to go to lunch. We could have gone to the cafeteria, but the diner had better food and was more private. I wanted to talk to her about Saturday. I was thinking we wouldn’t go to the club until next week. The only reason I was waiting was to see how she would respond and to get to know her limits better. But there really is no reason to wait.

She is very responsive to me, she follows my directions and she has voyeuristic tendency. So, I see no reason to put it off. Besides I’m only thinking for an hour, just to introduce her to the atmosphere. She was nervous, I could tell. Her nervousness was at embarrassing me with her behavior. I plan to start working on that tomorrow night. Set her up with some basic commands and hand signals. We have Friday evening and all day Saturday to work on more if necessary. But I know she is worried for nothing. She will do fine.

I didn’t mean to be short with her, but she does have a habit of interjecting, usually coming to the wrong conclusion, as was evident last night. She did the same again today, thinking I wanted her to go shopping this afternoon. I was stern without losing my temper, she responded as she should have, dropping her head in remorse. I wasn’t angry with her; I just needed to remind her that I don’t want her to think for me. Walking back to campus, we were quiet, holding hands like teenagers. Her skin is so soft and delicate, I find myself wanting to touch her often. I left her with a soft kiss before heading to my last lab class.

I was right on time as I stood on Bella’s back porch, I knew the code to let myself in, but I didn’t want to just walk in without her consent. She answered the door, wearing a white satin robe that barely covered her assets. Her hair was piled on top of her head in a clip. “Hi” I eyed her securing my arms around her, as I leaned in to kiss her “Hi yourself.” my hands held on to her bottom, slipping up under the robe. I growled when I realized she had nothing on under there. “You always answer the door half naked?” She giggled “Only on a Tuesday” She laughed as I swatted her playfully on the bottom.

“Actually I just got out of the shower; I thought you would just leave yourself in.” She was reaching over the counter to get a glass, causing the bottom of her robe to rise over her tush. “I didn’t want to be presumus” I said as I walked up behind her.

She turned around with a mischievous look “You mean you think I would allow you to tie me to a chair and have your wicked way with me, but I would be upset about you letting yourself into the house?”

I shrugged, reaching down for a kiss allowing my hands to wonder over her soft bottom. “Well, I don’t want to be rude.” She laughed “Do you want something to drink?” I took her up on the offer, and she poured me ice tea.

“I didn’t have time to go through anything, and I’m not sure what you are looking for.” She said opening the closet door. I started going through what was hanging there, pulling out a few dresses that I liked. “You can start with these. Show me your corsets and what you would wear with them.”


She opened a chest that was in the back of the closet taking out seven or eight corsets all of different colors. Placing them on the bed, she opened the bottom drawer to the dresser, choosing some pants and a skirt.

“How about any of this stuff” Bella opened another drawer that contained lingerie. “Pick out two of your favorites and let me see them on you?” Taking two items out “you want me to start with the dresses?” I nodded, kicking my shoes off before lying on the bed with my back against the headboard. Bella watched me for a minute, before shaking her head and going into the bathroom.

I thought about being noisy and looking through her toys, but decided against it. She came out in the first dress it was black strapless and form fitting. The next was a blue print, with straps on the shoulder. The last one was purple strapless. I approved them all.

She next came out in the corsets. She showed me three one was pink with black trim, another was dark blue and the last one was white with black ivy vines. She looked spectacular in them, and I was starting to have trouble in the groin area and each time she came out she would saunter around, pivot, pose and then shake her ass at me. She was in a playful mood; I like seeing her like this, and I was beginning to wonder how much she wanted to play.

When she came out in the first lingerie, a pink and black body suit with garters, it was revealing without being trashy and I could picture her walking around the house in that. “How do you like this one?” She asked as she sash-shayed her hips. I nodded

“I have the stocking, I’ll bring them too.” I took a deep breath “Yes, defiantly bring the stockings?”

Her face had a sassy smile pasted on it, as her finger tips slowly ran over her body. “Would you like me to put them on for your approval?”

I heard the words, but my eyes were watching her fingers run the length of her thighs. Oh my, she was getting brave; I kept wondering what happened to my blushing girl, Give her something enticing to wear and the sex vixen makes her debut. I smirked “Just bring them with you.” I looked at the clock as she was heading back into the bathroom.

The door opened and she stood there in five inch black heels that made her legs look amazing. Covering her bottom was the smallest black lace mini skirt I have ever seen. Her breast were incased in a black lace shelf bra. Her pale skin looked flawless and fragile like porcelain. Dark brown tresses of silky hair hugged her shoulders flowing down her back. This time as she moved she exaggerated her hips, giving extra bounce to her bare breast.

“Do you like this?” her voice was alluring, accompanied by a shrewd smile. I quickly sat up, swing my feet to the floor. “Yes, I like it. Come here.” I said holding my hand out to her.

She got an evil glint in her eye, I wasn’t sure what she contemplating, but I knew it was something. “Isabella, don’t make me come and get you.” My hand was still out stretched. She looked at the bedroom door and bolted with a giggle.

I chuckled silently “Ahhh...my little vixen wants to play.” I said as I rounded the corner into the hall. She couldn’t have gone far; she was either in the other room or in the living room. Her giggle gave her away.

She was standing on the far side of the couch. As I got closer to her she shifted her weight. I raised my eyes at her “Isabella, I’m going to ask you one more time to come to me.” She grinned shaking her head, while biting her bottom lip. “Ok, have it your way.” I added with a chuckle.

She put her hands on her hips “Ohhh…I’m scared..I’m shaking.” shaking her body as she spoke in a sarcastic tone. “Oh, baby you really shouldn’t have said that.” I faked a left lunge and when she went right, I jumped over the back of the couch and grabbed her.

“Edward! You cheated!” she was trying to squirm away from me. But I had a tight grip on her. She wasn’t going anywhere. “No, my sassy little pet that was not cheating, that was controlling the situation.” I laughed sitting on the couch, pulling her along with me, “Now Isabella, time to pay the piper.” I said putting her over my knee, using my left hand to hold both her hands securely against the small of her back. My right leg was placed over both her legs to keep her from moving.

“Edward, what are you going to do?” She asked with concern. “What do you think I’m going to do Isabella? I have a sassy submissive that needs her Master’s attention.”

Bella tried to wiggle, but she was pinned to my body. “But..But..I didn’t do anything. You told me to try on the clothes and I did. I was only doing what you asked.” I chuckled “Ok, you get one spank for each transgression.”

My hand was rubbing over her bare bottom. Her breathing was increasing. “What transgressions?”

I swatted her bottom. “Awe” she cooed. “That one is for you playing dumb. Now let’s see. You answer the door half naked. You’ve been shaking your tush at me since I walked in the door. You tease me by shaking your breast at me. Then you make me chase you. You mocked me by saying ‘I’m shaking’. Let’s see, I count five,”

I put the hand in front of her face that I been counting on. “Five Isabella”

“But Edward, I was only playing.”

“So am I daring” My hand came down again.

“Ohhh” The sound left her mouth like a moan. I wasn’t hitting her hard, she was just playing and this is just part of the fun. Besides I told her I wouldn’t punish her with corporal punishment, and I won’t. After each swat I rubbed my hand over the spot, choosing a new location for the next one. She wiggled and moaned; I knew she would enjoy it.

After the last one, I rubbed my hand over her bottom a few more times. She was practically purring in my lap. I leaned over placing a single kiss on her slightly pink bottom. When I left go of her upper body, she still didn’t move. I had to physically lift her up, so she was straddling my thighs as I continued to stroke her soft flesh.

The look in her eyes was pure lust; I left out a deep breath as her wet core came in contact with my extremely hard cock. She wiggled her hips, moaning softly. I placed my hands on her hips to still her “We are going to be late for dinner if you keep that up.”

The huff that left her said everything; she was feeling the effects of the spanking and looking for some release. “Dinner..yeah.” Fingers were running through the hair on the back of my neck. I plucked one nipple in my mouth, suckling softly. “Mmm” she purred.

I left her nipple fall from my mouth, smirking at her protest. “Unless you are going dressed like this, you should go get ready” her brow puckered. “How can you just stop?”


Her question was emphasized by the grind of her sex on my dick. “Control..Now go get dressed.” I answered with another swat on her bottom.

“Later?” her voice sounded hopeful. “I don’t know we’ll have to see.”

Bella huffed again, in protest but got up to get ready. I wasn’t going to tell her, but there would be no release for Bella today. I planned on teasing the shit out of her because I wanted her to crave my touch tomorrow night. I would go slowly, but I definitely wanted her to enjoy our first time together in the playroom.

Jake and Leah’s house was on the next block over from Bella’s. It was a two story with a white picket fence. Bella guided me around the back, where we found Leah sitting on the large wooden deck. “Hey girl, glad to see you could make it.”

Bella hugged her sister “We’re not late.” Leah said hello to me as Jake came through the back door offering his hand. I shook it “Jacob, thanks for inviting me.”

“Oh sure, I’m just glad to see you with all your clothes on.” He chuckled, Bella blushed and Leah smacked him on the arm. “Jake!”

“Owe, woman don’t hit me, I’m not in to that shit.”

Jacob offered me a drink, and the girls went into the house after Bella gave him a pointed look and said something in their native language. Jacob didn’t respond to her, he just smirked and winked at her. We sat down on the chairs overlooking the yard. I looked at Jacob waiting.

“Bells warned me to be nice to you.”

“Oh...is there a reason you wouldn’t be?”

“Nah...It’s just she knows I watch out for her. She’s like a sister to me, always has been. I just want her to be happy and safe; God only knows she sure deserves some happiness with all the shit life has thrown at her.”

He took a long drag off the bottle. “I would never hurt her, I don’t know her very long, but I feel very protective of her. She has a way about her that draws me to her.” I just wanted him to know that I had good intentions and I wasn’t going to just use her and abandon her.

Jacob sighed, “Yeah well, I don’t want to know the ins and outs” he rolled his eyes “that’s for sure. But I’ll give you fair warning, don’t you ever fucking hurt her, or I’ll track you down and kick your ass.”

I didn’t say anything; because his statement wasn’t a warning it was a promise. I was glad that she had someone to watch over her. I wondered why he didn’t do something sooner about her husband. I was going to ask when he spoke up “I should have kick the shit out of James the first time I heard him disrespect her. Maybe...Awe Hell I don’t know. It sure as fuck felt good when I left all my aggressions go on him the last time.”

“Bella said you are the reason he signed the divorce papers.” He nodded with a grin “That fucker, kept her strung along for years always holding the papers over her head. Then when he came here...when I saw her on that table, and once she was in the hospital…I fucking snapped, drove to Forks in a rage. Leah called Sam, he met me in Forks. That mother fucker, he was going to sign those papers or we were going to rip his god damn heart out.”

“I didn’t hear the story.”
“You don’t want to, she will be lucky if she can ever have children, fucking sick bastard.” I could feel the hatred rolling off him, and the conversation was making me angry.

I finished my beer “I’m getting another one, you want one?” He asked inclining his empty bottle towards me. I nodded. Looking out over the yard, wondering what the fuck he did to her and if he came here that means it must have been in her own house. That, would explain the state of the art security system she has.

Jacob handed me a fresh bottle “They are almost done in there, Leah’s going to bring everything out here. So how long you have been teaching Edward?” I answered his question, glad that the conversation had changed but also wanting to know more.

We talked for a few minutes about his job, He owned a mechanic shop, I told him he should talk to Rose she does auto body. The girls came out and announced the food was ready. When we sat, Leah and Jake held hands, speaking in their language. When they were done, Bella leaned over and said it was the same blessing she had said at Alice’s. Leah explained that it is traditional whenever there is company at the table. The food was good, a mixture of beef, chicken and shrimp with all the fixings.

“Did Leah tell you Bells?” Jacob asked with a glance at his wife.

“Tell me what? Did that baby let you see its stuff?” Leah frowned “No it’s stubborn, like it’s father.”

“That’s why I know it’s a girl” I looked at Bella “Why do you say that?”

“Because boys go around showing off their penis to everybody who will look, you know it’s like …Look what I got!”

Leah laughed, I just looked at her, and while she nodded Jacob spoke up “I don’t go around showing off my dick to everyone.” Leah spoke up “Oh Jakie don’t even go there”

“Who do I show my dick to?”

“Oh my god!” Leah murmured

“Not now you don’t, but you use to.” Bella said with a pointed look “When?” Jacob sat back almost dejected.

“That first summer I came to forks, you and Paul would run around the rez naked all the time. Billy was always telling you to put your clothes on.” Bella was rather forceful with her recollection.

Leah nodded her head “I know every time we went outside all summer long, there they were freaking flashing their butts at us.” she waved her arms in front of her. I found this whole conversation rather funny, thinking back to my own skinny dipping days.

Jacob was laughing now “I was seven years old. Besides I seem to remember a much older Bella running naked around the barn and falling in the mud.” Jacob was laughing so hard I could barely understand the last words.

I looked at Bella she was giggling with a blush on her face. “You ran naked around a barn and fell in the mud?” Jacob was hysterical “She did ...Splat!” he crashed his hands together.

“That doesn’t count!” Bella yelled

“I think it counts Bells.” Leah said wiping the tears from her eyes. “You guys made me do it; I never would have done that on my own.”

Poor Jacob was still laughing, I was laughing. “It’s not funny Edward, they tricked me.” But even she started giggling. “Oh baby, how did they trick you?” I said through my laughter “Yeah go ahead Bells tell him your side, let Edward decide if it counts or not.”

Bella looked at Leah with narrow eyes then blushed as she turned to me. “It was all a big set up”

“It was not!” Bella glared at Leah again

“Would you let me tell the story without interruptions?”

Leah held up her hands in surrender. Bella turned back to me with an innocent look “Like I said it was all a set up. We were in the barn playing truth or dare, and I always took truth. Well when it came my turn, these two” she pointed at her friends “started taunting me. Boring Bella always picks truth. Goody two shoes never does nothing wrong” she sung the words out in a chant

“So Emery just started asking the question, you know- have you ever? And I said wait!” she threw her hand in the air like she was stopping traffic “I want dare. And he dared me to go outside and run around the barn naked. I had to.” She was pretty insistent on the last part.

I had to know “Where did the mud come in?”

Bella’s whole face grew emotionless “it rains a lot in Forks.”

Jacob couldn’t stay silent anymore “Oh my god”

He stood up and did an imitation of Bella running around the building “She is trying to cover herself up; she had one arm over her chest and the other over her front.” He was hysterically laughing “and she is running around the building and she slipped on the grass, and she went Splat!...Zoom!” He used his hands to show the movement. I looked at Bella her face was bright red, and she had tears in her eyes from laughing.

Jacob continued “The best part was” he was laughing so hard, everyone else was laughing with him “The best part was she just laid there for like two minutes” he took a deep breath putting his arms in the air “Her arms were stretched out, all you could see was her bare butt sticking out of the mud.” he was still laughing

“We thought she was drowning in the mud” Bella was laughing too “I could have been really hurt.” Leah broke in “When she didn’t get up, I went running out there. I said Bells are you ok? The only thing that came out of her mouth was...Ompf!” She said the last word through a fit of laughter.

“There was like six people standing around me lying naked in the mud. They are just staring at my butt” She was half laughing “Why didn’t you get up?” I asked through chuckles

“Hello…I was naked! Finally Kim brought me a blanket from the barn so I could get up. There I am walking into the house and Sue is standing there. She says’ what happened Bella?”

Leah chuckled “You came up with the lamest excuse. I swear” she looked at me “Bella cannot lie to save her soul. I swear if she ever attempts to lie to you – you will see right through it”

Bella was blushing again “I didn’t know what to say to her.”

“What did you say?” I asked

“She said, my clothes got all wet from the rain, so I took them off” Leah was laughing again “and when I was walking over I fell in the mud” Jacob chuckled “Yeah Bells that was pretty lame.”

Bella rolled her eyes “That was the night Sue gave us the lecture on how a proper lady behaves.” Leah nodded “Yeah and she said your behavior was more like a trollup than a lady.” The girls were giggling “At least she never told Charlie, I would have been even more mortified.”

I laughed “How old were you?”

“I don’t know, fifteen? It was the summer before I started dating James”

Jake looked at me “Now I ask you my man, does that count?”

I looked at Bella she had a hopeful expression “I think it counts baby.”

She was shocked Jacob slapped his hand on the table “Yes!”

“I’m sorry, maybe if you wouldn’t have gotten caught.”

“That’s why I always picked truth!” But she was laughing as she said it. I leaned over to kiss her cheek. “You’re too cute” She blushed. When I looked up, Leah was smiling at us. Jacob just gave me a quick nod, I assumed in approval.

The girls started clearing the table off, Leah brought out some fresh melon for dessert. “So if you don’t know the sex of the baby yet, what’s your news? Unless you have more stories you want to embarrass me with.” Bella said looking at Jacob.

“No, I’ll save them for another time, I don’t want to scare poor Edward away.” he winked at her. Leah was taking a bite of melon “You are looking at the new photographer for the Seattle tourist center.” Bella’s voice was excited “No way, you got the contract?” She jumped up and hugged her sister “I did, and Emery is going to get me a meeting with the Seahawks, I might be their team photographer.”

“That would be great! Oh man Leah; I’m so happy for you.”

She turned to look at me “Emery plays for the Seahawks. He’s some kind of back” Jacob and I chuckled, he clarified “He’s a running back.”

“Emery Sterla, that’s the Emery that had you run naked around the barn”

Bella nodded. Holy hell my girl was full of surprises “Don’t let Emmet find out you know him, he will think you would be able to get him VIP tickets.”

She shrugged “I could, in fact he will be at graduation, his brother is graduating with Seth. You can ask him yourself. He gives Charlie and Billy tickets all the time.”

Did she just ask me to go with her to graduation? “When is graduation?” It was the first I heard of this
“It’s in three weeks” Bella replied “June fourth” Leah illuminated. “The ceremony is Friday, the party and bon fire take place on Saturday, and we will come back Sunday.” I nodded.

Bella tilted her head “You said you wanted to go to Forks, and that would be a good time for you to go, everyone will be there.”

“I don’t think there is anything that weekend, I have to look. But other than that I would love to go.”

She looked at me in shock “You really want to go? You don’t have to if you don’t want to.” I looked in her eyes, lightly running the back of my fingers along her chin. “I told you, I want to see where you grew up, the school, the cliff, the muddy barn yard” I chuckled “I want to meet Charlie and Sue and everyone else who are important to you. So as long as there is nothing else that can’t be changed, I would like to go.”

She sighed smiling as Leah spoke “Good, because I told Seth that we were staying at Mom’s on the rez. He has to go to Charlie’s or one of his friends.”

The girls started cleaning up the table. Bella commented “He is probably going to stay with that Tracy anyway.” Leah huffed “I don’t like her” Bella was picking up the glasses “You don’t even know her.”

“I don’t care, Seth is freaking eighteen, she’s talking about getting married and having babies.” Bella stopped to look at her “I was eighteen, when I got married”

“Yeah and we all know how well that turned out.”

“Thanks,” Bella said dejected, as she walked into the house. “Shit! Bells I didn’t mean it, like that” she called out as she went in the door.

Jacob sat across from me not saying anything, so I did “Are they going to fight?” he shook his head “It’s a sister thing. Leah never liked James; she always said that he was only with Bella for her money.” Oh, what money? “Anyway, she doesn’t bring it up often, they will go in there, Bells will do the dishes, and Leah will wipe up the kitchen. They will each say they are sorry and that will be it.” I looked at him questionably

“Believe me; I have lived with these two almost my whole life.”

We gathered up the rest of the stuff on the table and took it inside. Sure enough Bella was at the sink, and Leah was wiping the stove. Bella looked up “Is there anything else out there?”

“No this is it.” I walked over to her, stroking the back of her hair. I kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear “You ok babe?” She nodded with a small smile on her face.

“Hey Edward, you want another one of these?”

Jacob was holding a bottle of beer out. I looked at Bella who asked “Are we going to play a game Leah?”

“May I.. if that’s alright?” what was she asking me? “May you what?” Standing next to me drying her hands Bella giggle, Leah looked at me questionably then laughed “It’s the name of the game..May I”

“Oh, then yes, I’ll have another.” I left Bella and went into the living room with Jacob. The hushed voices from the kitchen filtered into the room. I presume Jacob had more experience with this than I did, and if he was calm, I could be calm too.

“Dude, don’t looked so worried, I’m telling you they are fine.” Jacob had just finished his statement when the girls came in to join us. Bella sat down next to me with a pencil and tablet. Leah pulled out two decks of cards and sat down next to her husband.

“I never played this, you’re going to have to explain the rules to me” I told Bella.

“It’s simple, it’s like Rummy only you play seven rounds and each round you have to get a different sequence to be able to meld.”

Bella showed me the sequences that had to be gotten, while Jacob dealt the first hand. When he turned a card over from the draw pile, Bella explained “It’s called May I, because let’s say I wanted this card.” she pointed to the upturned card “I say May I, and as long as no one else wants it, I can take it. But I also have to take one from the draw pile.”

“What happens if I want it too?”

Leah broke into the instructions “Then it goes by who is next in line to play.”

“It’s easy, you’ll catch on fast.”

Bella was very sure of herself, and she was right. We played three rounds. Talking and laughing, as we went. Bella was doing the final tally, Leah stood up, walking to the kitchen. She came back with a large glass of milk, Jacob rubbed her back “Heartburn baby?” his voice was sympathetic. She nodded, taking a drink from the glass. Bella looked up “You won Jake”

“Of course I did.” Jacob boasted as he gathered the cards.

We said our good-byes; with the clarification that next week fajita night was at Bella’s. It was a nice night, the air was slightly cool, I put my arm over her shoulder. Bella looked up at me and smiled “What?” I asked her, she just shook her head “nothing” she snuggled in closer to my side.

I stopped walking, with my hands behind her back; I pulled her to my chest. Kissing her soundly, letting my hands roam down to squeeze her bottom. She left out a moan, as I peppered kisses down her jaw and neck. Her head tilted to give me better access. “Are you sure there is nothing?” I spoke in her ear, she giggled as I sucked on her ear lobe. “I have ways of making you talk.”

The hands that were on my shoulders were holding on for dear life. Bella giggled “That’s coercion.”

“I know. Is it working?”

“Nope” she laughed, I pulled back to look at her in disbelief. “You’re going to make me work for this one, aren’t you?”

When she didn’t say anything, I placed one hand behind her neck, and crushed my lips to hers. I softly licked the fullness of her lip and she opened for me. Her mouth was so wet and warm, I groaned from the pleasure of feeling her body pressed up against mine. My hips thrust forward pressing my hard cock into her belly. She moaned rather loudly, and the blare of a car horn brought me back to reality.

When I pulled back from her, she still had her eyes closed, and her breathing was uneven. “I was just thinking that it was …nice, to have you there tonight. I always feel like I’m…like the third wheel.”

When her eyes opened, I was staring into the loveliest shade of warm brown, I have ever seen. My lips met hers once again, soft and reverently “I enjoyed being there, because I was with you.” She smiled again, rising up on her tip toes pressing her lips to mine. “Come on, let’s get you home.” I said as she pulled away.

When we got to the alleyway that went to the back of her house, a car was coming towards us fast. We moved over to the side, but the driver didn’t move out of our path.”Bella!” I yelled grabbing her arm and pulling her with me into the safety of the driveway we were standing by.

The car never slowed or changed its course. If I had not pulled Bella out of the way, the car would have hit her. The tires squeaked as it rounded the corner at the top of the alley. “Baby, are you alright? Who the fuck was that? Do you know who that was?”

Bella was shaking “I don’t know who that was, I didn’t recognize the car.” I wrapped my arms around her “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, they were really in a hurry” she said looking at the top of the alley. “Come, I’ll make you a cup of tea”

“I’d rather have a glass of wine”

“Wine it is.”

When we got to her house, the phone in the kitchen was ringing. “Hello…Hi dad”

I smiled at the joy that shone in her face and voice as she talked with her father. I set about getting the wine out, then sitting at the table; I was half listening to her conversation while I pet Seth.

“No dad…I’m not keeping secrets from you….there was nothing to tell….who told you anyway….how the hell did Mrs Weaver know?”

I was wondering who that was, and exactly what she was talking about. “Dad…his name is Edward” I looked at her with a knowing smirk. “Of course he has a job…yes he owns his own house….Yes, I met his parents, they are lovely people…I’m sorry…No, I think he is coming to graduation with me, you can meet him then,” She looked at me apologetically, I smiled telling her I was going to use the bathroom, she nodded at me. I heard her last statement as I left the room. “Yes he is here…None of your business.”

I chuckled as I rounded the corner. I never had to deal with fathers, the women who came to me, just came, no strings, no connections. But I found myself really wanting to meet Chief Swan, and I hoped that he approved of me. After using the bathroom, I walked into her bedroom instead of the hallway. Bella was lying on the bed; she looked tired or worried maybe a little bit of both.

I sat down next to her, kicking off my shoes “Is you father alright?’ I asked as I lay back against the headboard. She grimaced “Yes, somehow or another word has gotten around that I have been seeing a man. By the time my father heard it, from all the bitties’, apparently we have been together for over a month, and you are moving in with me.” Bella giggled.

“A month, Huh?...And why am I moving in with you?” Bella sat up quickly, straddling my thighs. “Well, it would seem, that you do not have a job, and nowhere to live” she smirked, drawing her hands to her chest “and you know, poor Bella is so desperate for a man” she looked down and me and laughed.

I laughed in astonishment “Your father actually believed that?”

She laid over me, placing a soft kiss on my lips, speaking sympathetically “No, he didn’t, that’s why he called. He just wanted to get the story straight. And he said he is looking forward to meeting you.”

Her face was buried in my neck, my hands were moving along her back, and over her bottom. “Mmmmmm…” she sighed into my skin. “Well that’s a good thing, because I am looking forward to meeting him.”

Her lips were moving up over my chin, I turned my head to capture hers with mine. Our mouths mingled together, her hands gripped my upper arms. I wrapped my hands around her hips, twisting my body so she was under me. I used the tip of my nose to outline her jaw, placing small kisses over her neck. Her hands were in my hair, pulling me towards her. My hands found their way under her shirt, feeling the silky material of her bra tracing the roundness of her nipple.

My knees parted her thighs, my throbbing erection pushed against her sex. Her hips bucked up against me making me groan, she moaned into my mouth, raising her hips to rub against me once again. A growl escaped my throat “Woman you are too damn sexy for your own good.”

“I’m not sexy.”

I looked in her eyes “The fuck you aren’t. You feel that?” I shoved my jean covered dick into her. Her hips wiggled under me “Yes” she answered breathlessly.

“Where the fuck do you think that comes from?”

She didn’t answer “Do you know how hard it was to not carry you into the bedroom and just have sex with you all night after that little spanking I gave you earlier?”

Her face blushed “No” I kissed her lips “Woman you make me hard just thinking about you, then when my hand was turning your soft white bottom into the sweetest color of pink.” I sighed as she wiggled against me again “Stop that” I hissed, she giggled “Or perhaps you need another spanking.” She giggled again, blushing deeper.

Pushing myself off her, I sat back on my heels. My hands ran along her jeans, up her inner thighs. As I reached the top, I stretched my thumbs out, running them up and down over the seam that ran over her core. She hummed in appreciation. After the third pass, her hips wiggled, trying to get more pressure on her sensitive spot.

My left hand went under her knees, lifting them up and pushing them into her chest. My other hand continued to produce the friction she so desperately wanted over her covered center. Bella started to whimper, shifting her lower body, trying to arch into my hand.

“Feels good, doesn’t it?” I asked looking into her eyes. They were dark and feral, and her breathing grew deeper, as her hips moved with wanton need.

She was close and it just wasn’t happening, not tonight. My hand moved away from the spot it was at, down over her bottom. She whimpered at the loss of contact, and I had to turn my face from her so she couldn’t see my amusement.

After a few passes over her butt, I swatted her cheek, rubbing again before swatting the other one slightly firmer. Bella gasp, but started humming as my hand once again moved to her sensitive area. I didn’t linger there too long, as I made the journey down over her bottom. After the third time of not giving her the satisfaction she desire, she was getting aggravated.

“Please?” Bella implored. I looked at her. “Please what?”

My hands were once again rubbing over her jean cover clit. I could feel the wetness coming through the material. Her body started shaking, her chest heaving as much as possible with her knees pushed into it. I stopped again, moving back to swat over her bottom, she whined in protest “Ohhh…please? Edward please?”

I stared into her eyes. “Ask me, Isabella”

My fingers rubbed with more force and pressure, Bella was squirming so much I had to use more strength to keep her in position. “Look at me, Isabella, and ask me nicely”

Her eyes met mine, her inhibitions were gone, she was functioning on pure need. “Please, may I cum, please?” I looked at her with pursed lips “No!” and I abruptly stopped.

Leaving her knees go, so her feet fell freely to the bed. Her whole face turned into pure astonishment. “What? but.. I asked nice” her voice was weak, breathless and dismayed.

I nodded looking in her eyes “Yes, you did. Not completely in the correct form, but you wouldn’t know that yet.”

I leaned over her body, kissing her lips. Her breathing was still erratic as she tried to comprehend what just happened, or what didn’t happen. She looked confused “Did I do something wrong?”

I kissed her again, then pulled back to look in her eyes while I ran my fingers over her heaving breast. “No Isabella, you didn’t do anything wrong. Orgasms are mine to give or to withhold” I smirked at her. “Tonight I decided to withhold, that’s all.”

“But why?” “Ahhh…Isabella, yours is not to ask why.”

She didn’t say anything else, I guess she understood. She didn’t like it but she understood, and my mission of getting her all worked up with no released was accomplished. “Come on, get up and kiss me good night.” Her voice was heartbreaking “Are you leaving?”

I took her hands in mine lifting her to the floor. “I don’t want to, but I have some work to do.”

I held her hand as I walked through the kitchen. I smiled at her, she still looked dejected. “I will see you tomorrow, six o’clock at my house.” Pulling her towards me, I kissed her soundly. Her fingers ran through my hair tugging gently, while my hands caressed her bottom.

My hands moved up to cup her face, as I pulled back from her “Good night Isabella.” She smiled “Good night.”

I kissed her forehead “Sleep well my pet.” I said walking out the door with a knowing grin on my face. She was not going to be sleeping very well, her body was wound up, and maybe it was mean of me, but I really want her ready tomorrow. As I reached my car, she was still standing at the door, watching me. Her expression was so sad and forlorn; I almost went back in, almost. Instead I waved, got into my car, and drove home.

Chapter 10

BPOV

“Oh, no you don’t. I waited long enough. Isabella”

His words sent shivers through my body. My breathing was hard and heavy with his hands working on the buttons of my shirt. His lips were hungry against mine as our tongues danced together. My hands held his forearms tightly. The muscles under his shirt taunt from holding himself up. I wanted his shirt gone; I needed to feel his skin against mine.

His hands went around my waist and he rolled so I was now on top of him. My skirt was hoisted up around my thighs. His hands removed my shirt and his mouth found my nipple teasing and stroking it through the thin cover of lace on my bra. I was on fire, grinding my hips against anything that would help get rid of the aching. His mouth continued teasing my nipple sliding it between his teeth. The pressure in my belly started increasing my mouth was making noises I couldn’t stop.

My mind was so frenzied I just wanted to feel him. I reached behind my back stroking his length, he was warm and hard and big. His hips jerked forward to meet my grip, as he groaned. I don’t know when he opened my skirt, but he must have, because when he turned us back over, he was peeling it off my legs. I perched myself on my elbows as he knelt between my thighs. His eyes caught mine

“Watch me Isabella” his nose ran a line from my navel to my panties. His chin ran along the top edge of the pink lace. My breathing was embarrassingly loud as his nose skimmed over the silky material blowing his warm breath over my heated core. I whimpered as my hips lifted on their own accord.

“Mmm...So eager, you smell so good...Isabella” He said my name like he was praying as his moved back and forth over my sensitive spot. I moaned as he said my name. His fingers moved to my sides, hooking his thumbs in the thin material, he pulled them slowly down my legs, watching me the whole time.

“Don’t take your eyes off me” He placed kisses along my hip, letting his teeth graze along the bone. Making me tremble with anticipation I closed my eyes as the sensation got the better of me. He pulled on the small patch of pubic hair I had left. “Watch” he warned.

His lips moved down my inner thighs, drawing a line with his tongue. My body felt like it was going to combust as his breath cooled the heated skin.

“Please…” I implored

“Oh Isabella, I like when you beg.”

His eyes bore into mine as his tongue made a swipe up my slit. “Ohhh...Edward.” my eyes fluttered, but I forced myself to keep watching. He traced a line down my other thigh, this time when his tongue hit my clit, he circled around it. “Ohhh...God...”

“Watch Isabella ...watch” he went back to using his tongue, circling around my clit and alternating with long laps. His hand moved, and his fingers went inside me. My hips bucked up, as he inserted another finger, moving them in time with his mouth.
My body was so aroused, the sensation was overwhelming, my voice was trembling “‘Oh God Edward ...Oh .Augh...God.” I was panting and struggling to keep watching “Ed…ward” His mouth clamped on my nub, and he bit.


My head flew back, my arms could no longer hold me, my whole body shook with sweet release, and I rode out the greatest pleasure I had ever felt. I lay catching my breath, I felt his hands on my calves and I felt myself sliding on the bed. The next thing I knew Edward had entered me in one long stroke, “Oh my God” I was so full and he felt so good. My feet were up by his shoulders, his hands on my hips, and he started to move.

“Oh...Isabella, so good, so warm, so fucken tight.” His eyes bore into mine; I couldn’t take my eyes off him. “Touch yourself” he commanded through long deep strokes. I wasn’t sure what he meant and I couldn’t really think so I just did what felt good. One hand went to my breast, squeezing my nipple and the other found my clit. A few more strokes and the pressure started to build; I pinched harder, both hands now squeezing my nipples. Edward’s hand had taken over down below.

I looked in his eyes, they were dark and mysterious. He grinned wickedly “Cum Isabella “and he pinched my clit, hard. I erupted, screaming his name as my back and hips arched off the bed “That’s it baby... milk me” I didn’t know what he was talking about, I really didn’t care. I was just relishing the euphoric feeling

“I’m going to cum...Watch me” After few more strokes, his head fell back, with a serene look. He grunted calling out my name, as he buried himself deep inside me. His body collapsed on top of me, I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tight as he kissed me.

After a few minutes, he withdrew from me, leaving me feeling empty. He rolled to my side, removing a condom. I looked at him “What?” he asked. “When did you put that on?” He chuckled “You really are unobservant when you are otherwise indisposed.” I giggled “I guess I am” He kissed me, drawing me into his arms. “Ah, my Bella, I’m going to have to remember that. That little piece of information just might come in handy.”

I lay with my head on his chest, tracing the outline of his stomach muscles. “Are you going to go home now?” His hand was stroking my hair “Do you want me to go home?” Lifting my head to look at him I said with conviction “No, I’d like you to stay.”

“Then I’ll stay” I smiled. His face was like an angel, a wickedly sexual angel, but he was mine. He grinned “You alright?” I didn’t know what he meant “Yes, why wouldn’t I be. I feel really, really… good.” I could feel the blush creep over my face. “Do you now? Who would have thought?” I giggled, reaching up to kiss him.

We were quiet for a few minutes. “What are you thinking about?” I am pretty sure I hummed “I was wondering when we were going to do that again” that made him laugh

“So, I can assume you enjoyed it” I looked at him in shock “Of course I enjoyed it, why wouldn’t I?” What was he talking about, who the hell wouldn’t enjoy orgasms. His hand skimmed down over my back, his touch always making that tingle break out on my body. “You said you didn’t enjoy sex before.” Oh, I put my head back on his chest tracing a circle around his navel.

“Well, I wouldn’t call with James sex, it was more like… demoralizing” His arms tighten around me. “How so Bella?”
My body moved up his, so my face was in the crook of his neck. I breathe in deep, relishing the smell of him. “I don’t want to talk about him now.” I spoke with my lips against his neck. His head moved away so he could look at me. He was serious when he said “Ok, another time. But we will talk about it.”

I sighed, rolling onto my back, my eyes were closed. I was somewhere between totally happy and slightly perplexed. “Why do you want to hear all of that shit?” The bed moved and I could feel Edward hovering over me.

“Bella” I opened my eyes, he had a look of concern “I don’t want to hear all your shit. Believe me, I wish I didn’t have to, but I am going to be pushing your limits and the last thing I want to happen is for you to start freaking out over something I don’t understand. I need to know, your fears and anxieties, maybe we can work through them. Bring you and me to a place where all the shit in the past, has no bearing on our present.”

My eyes were beginning to fill with tears. I couldn’t understand why he would take the time to care so much about me. He wiped the corner of my eyes with his finger. “Why the tears, my Bella?” I liked when he called me his and I smiled at him “I never had anyone care.” he kissed me. “Well get use to it.”


Edward sat up with his feet on the floor. He was looking for something in his pocket. I hope it’s another condom. I blushed at the thought, until he stood up, then I gasp and blushed at the sight in front of me. His legs were tone, the muscles in his butt flexed. I thought that was a good view until he turned around. I didn’t get to fully appreciate the beautiful man that had just shared my bed.

“Do you like what you see.” his voice brought me out of my stupor and I realized I was staring with my mouth hanging open. God I hope I wasn’t drooling. I shook my head, blinking. “What?” he chuckled “I said, do you like what you see?” My face heated and I blurted out “Yes, yes I do.” He laughed, pulling on his pants. “Well then my dear, we are even, because I like what I see too, very much.”

I rolled my eyes, and then realized he was putting on his shoes. “I thought you were staying?” I tried to hide the anguish in my voice. “I just want to go lock the cars and close the garage door. I’ll be right back.” I picked up his shirt putting it on, rolling the sleeves up over my arms. I know it’s his, but I figured if he could be in me, I could be in something that was his. Besides, it smelled so good.

“Ah...Bella, how the hell do I get out of here?” I laughed as I came into the kitchen, showing him how to disengage the alarm. He muttered as he walked outside “It’s like god-damn fucken Fort Knox”.

I picked up Seth’s bowl washing it out and giving him fresh water, opening a bottle of water for myself. While I was getting the coffee ready for the morning, Edward came back in. He eyed me, probably wondering why I had on his shirt. He grinned “Now how do I arm this thing again?” he asked pointing to the alarm. I showed him how to reset it, and offered him some water.

Turning around to get him a fresh one, I felt his hands wrap around my waist, his chin resting on my neck. “I approve of this outfit.”

“Do you?” His hand moved up to cup my breast, teasing my nipples with his fingers.

“Yes” he spoke in my neck “Perhaps I will leave it here, and stock your closet with nothing but my shirts.” I shivered as his lips kissed my neck. “Well I’m glad you approve.” I said holding the water bottle out for him.

After checking the front door - out of habit - and closing the blinds in the living room, we were back in my room, naked sitting on the bed talking. He asked about birth control.

“I’m not on anything. There was no reason for it.” Edward tilted his head to the side. “I figure you weren’t unless you had some medical condition. I mean you haven’t had sex in what...How many years?” He grinned mischievously.

“I’ve had sex.” I stated mater-of-factly. His face was full of confusion “But you said you haven’t been with a man in a long time.”

“I haven’t” His eyebrows raised “A woman?”

“No!” Now he was really confused, he looked around the room, eyeing my night stand. “Oh...self-induced sex. What do you have in here Isabella?” His hand was heading for said night stand.

I leaped over his body, trying to get to the cabinet before him. But he was faster. His other arm held me securely against his body. He got that wicked sexy grin on his face as he surveyed the contents. “Which one is your favorite?”

I glanced over his arm “You mean in there?”

“No, I mean in your freezer.” he answered sarcastically. I was shocked “How did you know there was one in the freezer?”

He looked at me like I had just grown another head “Come with me. Now!” Taking my hand and pulling me into the kitchen, tearing open the freezer door. He rooted around, finally taking out the pink velvet clutch. After opening the end, he held my frozen glass dildo in his hands.

When he looked at me, his eyes glazed over with lust, and I could see him thinking as he looked around the room. I stood there as he went into the living room, returning with his pants on and the wooden chair from my desk and a pillow. He placed the chair in the center of the room,

“Isabella, sit!” It wasn’t a request; I did as I was told. He pointed to a spot on the floor “Keep your eyes on that spot. Don’t look away.” My chin dropped and I stared. I could hear the door opening, and I felt strange sitting naked in my kitchen staring at the floor, but I didn’t move.

The door closing startled me. I knew in my mind it was Edward, but the possibility of it being someone else, left me feeling both frightened and aroused. I flinched, feeling a hand on my shoulder “It’s just me Isabella.”His finger ran the length of my arm.

“Do you trust me?” I nodded “Answer!”

“Yes, I trust you.” He dropped something on the floor, and I felt his other hand touch my over heated skin. Geez I’m soaking wet and all he did was touch my arm. He gathered my hair so it hung down my back then his hands were off me.




I wanted to whimper at the loss of contact and I bit my bottom lip, trying desperately to keep my focus on the floor. Edward was in front of me, he pulled my left leg so it was on the outside of the chair, securing my ankle to the bottom of it, repeating the process on the other side. When he was done he looked in my eyes “We good here, Isabella?” he stroked my cheek as I answered “Yes Sir.”

“Good girl”

He was behind me again tucking the pillow behind my back, making my bottom teetered on the edge of the chair, but giving my lower back support. His hands wrapped another length of rope above my knee, bringing it around the back and securing my other leg, so I was open and unable to move my legs at all. His hands pulled my shoulders back, so I leaned backwards pushing my breast out. This also caused me to lose my focus spot on the floor.

I panicked a little when I didn’t have anything to focus on, but his fingers ran in a smooth line down my neck, over my breast and down to my soaking core. I whimpered as his fingers touch the slickness. “So wet for me Isabella. I couldn’t ask for more.”

I stayed quiet, not sure if I should talk or not, and not really knowing what to say. He had a long black silk scarf in front of my face, covering my eyes with it. He wrapped it around my eyes twice, then gathered my hair wrapping it in the silky material, then around my eyes again. He tugged on the scarf forcing my head on an angle and tied the end to the left side on the back of the chair. When I tried to move my head, it pulled my hair. It wasn’t painful, just uncomfortable.

“Now Isabella, I do believe you are ready. I left your hands free, because you’re going to need them. I want you to remain quiet. Don’t make a sound. The only thing that is allowed to come out of your mouth is the word red. That will stop this immediately. Other than that, not one peep, do you understand?”

I didn’t know what to do, so I nodded, causing my hair to pull against my scalp. I had to bite my lip to keep quiet. “Good girl”

I flinched when his hands ran over my shoulders, down my chest, he began to circle my nipples. I thrust my chest out as much as I could. I wanted to feel his hands on me, instead of the teasing touch he was using. My breathing sped as his fingers became more forceful. I tried to rub my thighs together, but there was nothing to provide any friction.

“Nothing there my pet, I guess you’re just going to have to learn patience.” He was still playing with my nipples, except he was now pulling and rolling them between his fingers. I was soaking wet, and my breathing was coming out in pants. My clit was throbbing with need. His one hand slid down and swiped up my center. I couldn’t help it I moaned from the contact.

“Uh, Uh Isabella. Quiet!”

He stuck the fingers he just wiped up my juices with into my mouth, “Suck, maybe that will keep you quiet.”

I sucked them greedily like a starving baby. He was right by my ear “Your juices taste good, don’t they? Like Ruby Red Grapefruit, sweet and tangy.”

His fingers left my mouth with a popping sound. I tried to get my body under control, but his fingers were relentless on my nipples. I was squeezing my inner muscles trying to relax the buildup of pressure I was feeling in my stomach. But that was just creating more tension. He pinched both nipples and I moaned loudly

“Oh, Isabella...what am I going to do with you?”

I felt cold at my entrance, I wanted to feel it in me so bad, I strained my hips forward. Edward pushed the frozen dildo half way in. “Hold it, Isabella”. I went to use my hands, he pulled them back “No hands yet, you better use something else.”

I squeezed the muscles around the intrusion as tightly as I could. Holding my breath afraid that any movement would cause me to lose the grip I had. I heard a zipper open, and then he shoved the dildo the rest of the way in me.

“Ahhggghhh” I couldn’t help it. It was sweet torture, and I needed to feel the friction so badly.

“Now, use your hands, to fuck yourself.”

I wasted no time and used the dildo like it was life support. My hip bucked as far as the restraints would allow. He used one hand on my nipple and one circling my clit. I was so close, I whimpered. He stopped touching me.

“If you can’t be quiet, I’m going to have to find something to fill that naughty mouth of yours....hmmm. You keep fucking yourself.”

I did, I wasn’t sure what he was going to do, and I didn’t really care. I just wanted release from the tension in my body. “Open your mouth Isabella”

“Wider!” I complied. The warm head of his cock touched my lips, and I stuck my tongue out to capture it.

“Isabella, I’m going to give you the pleasure of sucking my cock in an attempt to keep you quiet”
I swirled my tongue around his head. The velvet texture was soft and smooth. I used my tongue to suck him into my mouth. He hissed. As he pulled out my tongue lapped up his length, swirling around the head, before he pushed back in.

I was a frenzy of sensations, as he kept up a steady rhythm while I used the dildo on myself. I could feel the pressure building in my stomach, as Edwards pace quickened. “Don’t…cum…until...I. ..do” he said through thrust. My body was in overdrive, and he’s telling me not to cum. My breathing was erratic between the pulsing need between my legs, his torturous nipple treatment and his cock in my mouth; I was going to lose it, fast.

I could feel Edward’s dick start to throb. I concentrated on using my mouth, creating suction. When he pulled out, my teeth scraped along him, “Isabella...oh...Fuck!” As he entered me warm streams of thick liquid shot into my mouth, I swallowed as best as I could, lightly sucking and licking the underside of hm.

“Now Isabella...now you can cum” I heard his breathy words. My fingers came up rubbing circles round my clit, it didn’t take long and I was exploding. I cried out around his cock that was still in my mouth. I struggled to stay upright as my body went limp.

I became aware of Edward undoing the ties, and he must have taken off the band around my eyes, because I could see. He picked me up off the chair, and carried me into the bedroom. Leaving me for a minute while he went into the bathroom. I was still numb from the orgasm laying in complete relaxation when I felt Edward’s hands on my thighs, massaging the muscles. Then he used some kind of ointment on my ankles and knees.

When he was done, he crawled in next to me, pulling the cover up over us. I didn’t realize I was shivering until I felt his body spooning against me. “Shhh, you’ll warm up in a minute.” he kissed the top of my head. My body started to calm down as I warmed up. “You better?” he asked quietly
“Yes, what was that?”

He tightened his arms around me “It’s an endorphin rush, it last a few minutes.”

I yawn, his face nuzzled in my neck. I was so warm and content. ‘Are you alright, that wasn’t too much was it?” I had to force the words from my mouth “No, that was great”

“Good, do you think you could do more?”

More of that, hell yeah bring it. I didn’t say that though “Yes, more, but not tonight.” He chuckled in my ear “Sleep now, my Bella...sleep” And I did.

The morning light was shining in the window over the bed; I could see it behind my eyelids that refused to open. I felt too safe and warm to leave this happy place of peace just yet. I felt arms tighten around me, and warm breath on my neck. Mmm… Edward.

His smell permeated my senses and my libido kicked in. Snuggling my body closer to his, well hello there little eddie...I giggled at the thought of Edwards peen being called little eddie, perhaps Mr. Ed was a better name.


“What is it you find funny, so early in the morning?” he said, nuzzling closer into my neck. I certainly wasn’t going to tell him that I just named his penis

“Nothing” I said innocently with a grin.

“Nothing? You just laugh at nothing?” I nodded

“ah, uh” His hands pulled me firmer “For some reason, I don’t believe you.” and he started to tickle me.

I squirmed, trying to get away “Oh My God...Edward stop!” I yelled through bouts of laughter.
“Tell me” his fingers continuing to tickle

“Please! You’re going to make me pee!” he laughed “..It’s your bed”

“Ahhh..Edward... Ok, ok I’ll tell you!” but he didn’t stop “I’m waiting” oh god I was going to pee myself “ok...I named your peen little eddie!” I said through tears of laughter.

He stopped abruptly “You named my penis, little...eddie?”

His voice sounded astonished as he hovered over top of me. I looked up at him through my eye lashes, “ah, uh ...it just popped in my head.”

He looked at me in disbelief, “Oh” he grinned “Don’t you try to play innocent with me. You better come up with another name.”

I blink twice, biting my lip “Well, how about Mr. Ed?”

Edward roared with laughter, falling on his back. “Mr. Ed?” he laughed some more.

“You don’t like that name either?”

“I suppose I would rather have my penis named after a horse, then anything that begins with little.”

I smiled at him. His hand was skimming over my bare shoulder. “How are you this morning?” My head ran through a mental inventory “I’m fine, my thighs ache a little bit, but not too bad.”

He sat up slightly “let me see your ankles?” He inspected the marks left from the rope. “That’s not bad, I’m afraid you will have to wear pants today. You should get some A&D ointment, to keep here. Ok” I agreed as I looked at the red lines, that would remind me of last night.

“I really should have waited to do any kind of activity with you.” I looked at him; he had a look of remorse on his face. “Why?” I was confused, didn’t he want to.

“Because, I haven’t given you proper instructions, or looked over your limits, or know if you have any physical limitations.” He got that grin on his face. “It’s just when I took that frozen pop out of the freezer, the scenario ran through my mind, and I couldn’t stop myself.”

He pulled me towards him. “See what you do to me? Make me lose my composure.” He kissed me, I thought maybe little eddie want to come out and play until Edward sniffed the air “Do I smell coffee?”

We were sitting in my kitchen eating the omelets I made. Edward was fully dressed; I was in a t-shirt and pair of panties. We were talking about our upcoming day, when a thought occurred to me. “Edward, about last night.”

Keeping my eyes on my plate I explain what I was worried about. “Were you, disappointed?”

He made a huffing noise “No!. Why would you think that?” I could feel him watching me, but I was to chicken to look up. “Because I couldn’t keep quiet.” His hand was on mine, when I looked up he was grinning

“Isabella, you did great. You stayed quiet, longer than I anticipated. I had to push you to get you to make noise.” I wasn’t sure what he meant “You mean you wanted to me fail?” He shook his head “Not fail. It was part of the scene I came up with. I needed you to make noise, so I could move forward.”

I must have looked confused, because he went on. “That doesn’t mean that I want you to disregard my instructions. On the contrary, you follow them as best as you can. Remember I told you, not to think for me, or try figure out what I’m doing?”
“Yes, you said just follow your instructions.”

“Right, and that’s what you did. I could see you struggling to keep quiet. Like I said, I haven’t learned your limits yet. After last night I have a better idea, and I’m going to push them.” He got an evil glint in his eyes. “It’s better that way.” I giggled

The house phone rang as I was getting more coffee. “Good morning Leah” Edward smiled “I’m going to go get my stuff in the bedroom” he said quietly “ok” I smiled as he kissed my forehead “Bella, Who’s there with you?”

“Umm…Edward, we were just finishing breakfast.”

“Did he come for breakfast or stay for breakfast?” she asked mockingly. “Umm..Stayed?” I grinned at the thought. “Well, was it good?” Edward had returned. “Yeah, later ok.”

“Alright, just making sure you are coming tonight. Bring sex-on-a-stick with you.” I looked at Edward wondering if he would want to go. “Edward, Tuesday night is fajita night, this week it’s at Jake and Leah’s, do you want to come?”

“Sure”

“Ok Leah, we’ll be there.

After my phone call, Edward was getting ready to leave. “What time tonight?”

“We usually eat around six.” He reached for me, kissing me softly, his hands holding on to my bottom. “So, I’ll be here around quarter after five, and we can walk over?”

“That sounds like a plan.”

“Good then kiss me again, so I can go home and shower.” I must have put a little too much effect into the kiss, because he groaned. When he pulled away, he swatted my bottom. “Yeah, I am defiantly going to rethink those limits.

I was running late for work, I didn’t bother shaving because I had my appointment this afternoon for my waxing. I looked at my ankles and lower thighs, they were slightly red. I grimaced, wondering what Ellen is going to think. Yeah well, I’m sure in her line of work, she has seen it all. I shuttered at the thought. I quickly fed Seth and headed to work.

I had to call Carol, make sure that she knew to get Peggy’s physical and TB test done. “I didn’t get to talk to you yesterday, how was your weekend?”

“It was absolutely great. I spent Saturday afternoon sitting in a hot tub and Sunday afternoon riding around Bainbridge on a motorcycle.” I’ll admit it, I was smug. “Damn girl and I spent the weekend cleaning and working in the yard”

I giggled “Eat your heart out”

“yeah, yeah,...bitch” we both laughed. “I’ll have Dr Cullen look at Peggy when he comes in.” That was news to me; I didn’t know that he was official. “Will he be in today?”

“He is just bringing over some supplies, he will here officially tomorrow morning” I smiled at the thought. “I really like him Bella, and he’s really easy to look at” she laughed “Well you should see his wife, Esme”

“Married, figures. He probably has a big peen too”
I laughed “What is it with you and peens? Is Bob short changing you lately?”

“Hey a girl can dream” I shook my head, trying to be serious “I’m sorry I am not going to talk about Dr Cullen’s penis with you”

I had just made the statement, when I heard a throat clear behind me. Turning in the direction of the sound - Oh Shit!- “Edward!”

He stood in the doorway, his arms folded over his chest, with raised eyebrows. “Ah...Carol, yeah I got to go. I’ll see you tomorrow...I think”

When I hung the phone I swiveled the chair in his direction “Hi” I tried to sound casual “How long you been here?” It was an honest question, right? Edward quirked his head to the side

“I’m going to have to keep you away from my father aren’t I?” He had that look in his eye, the same one he had last night in the kitchen. “What? Why do you say that?” I stuttered

“Because my pet, first you call him handsome, and then I hear discussing his penis on the phone.” My face heated “I told her I wouldn’t discuss his penis with her” He grinned “I heard you say that’

“Maybe I should warn my father about the women he is going to be working with.” I gasp, watching him walk over to my desk sitting on the edge. He smirked “Don’t worry your secrete is safe with me. Besides I can always use it as blackmail” He laughed, I didn’t find it funny.

“Blackmail for what?”

“Oh, I don’t know, I’m sure there will be something that I can use it for.”
He laughed probably at the expression on my face. I figured I should change the subject.

“So, what do I owe, to this unexpected visit?” He strolled into the room, sitting on the edge of my desk. “I thought maybe you want to go get some lunch with me?”

Oh. I looked at the clock; I didn’t realize that the morning was gone. “Yes, can you give me five minutes to finish up here” I motioned to the computer screen. He nodded “Sure, take your time.”

I went back to my grade book, putting in the grades that I had finished. It was slightly awkward having Edward sitting over top of me, so I turned off the program, and wrote a note telling my students to leave their papers in my mailbox.


I thought we were going to the cafeteria, so I was surprised as he ushered me in the opposite direction. I looked at him questionably “Is the diner alright, or would you rather go somewhere else?”

“No the dinner is fine.”

We talked about our morning as we walked the three blocks to the city diner. It is nothing fancy, but they made fantastic homemade soups. Once we were seating in the corner booth, our drink orders placed Edward got a serious look on his face. “Alice is going to call you.” It wasn’t a question; it was just a statement of fact.

“What does she want?” I couldn’t figure out why she just didn’t call me herself. “Your outfit is ready for a final fitting; she is going to need you to go over there sometime before Friday morning.”

“Oh” I didn’t know why it had to be by Friday, “That was quick, I didn’t think she would have it done so fast.” He smiled ‘When Alice gets her hands on something, she is a force of nature until it’s finished.”

The waitress came with our drinks, and took our food order. She eyed Edward and appraised me. I can’t say that I blame her, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Edward dismissed her with his short answers, effectively ending her ogling. When the waitress left after a second glance at me Edward began talking.

“I looked over your papers this morning. I didn’t get to study them, I just took an overview.” I took a sip of ice tea, by the look in Edward’s eyes our conversation was about to get serious. “I believe we will be going to the club on Saturday night.”

As Edward spoke the words, I could feel the panic in me rising he must have sensed it also, because he took my hand in his. “Isabella, calm down. There is nothing to be afraid of. We are only going to go for an hour or so. I will not leave you out of my sight, and no one will hurt you.”

Was I afraid? Maybe a little bit, I was excited but apprehensive. “I’m not afraid. I just, I don’t know what to do, and I don’t want to embarrass you.” He smiled “Just do what you been doing, follow directions and obey my rules.” The waitress brought our food. I wasn’t sure I would be able to eat.

After she left, he started eating I played with my spoon. His voice brought me out of my reverie. “What are you thinking about?”

“I just wish I felt more secure in what I’m doing. I mean, how I am supposed to behave.” His eyes were intense, his expression was one of determination

“We have a few days to do basics. Come Saturday, if I don’t think you’re ready we will not go. But as of right now, between what you marked on your papers and what I see. That’s my decision.” I was trying to think what I marked on the papers that would make him feel that way. “Ok, I trust you” His smile was intense “Good girl, now eat your lunch”

I forced myself to eat, still feeling unsure, but I did trust him and he wouldn’t take me if I wasn’t ready. Then the thought accrued to me “Did you tell Alice to rush my dress?”

He shook his head “No, and the fact that she is almost done with it, had no bearing on my decision. It will be nice if it is done, but it doesn’t matter. We are going shopping anyway; we have a closet to fill.” He smiled “What are your plans for today, after work?”

“I have an appointment for my waxing at three.” I was going to continue but he cut me off “Oh, I’m glad you mentioned that. You know that little patch of hair you have?” I looked at him and nodded “keep it, I find I rather enjoy it, and I believe I can find a use for it. So, for now leave it.” He grinned.

I was surprised and wondered what he had in mind, but then again maybe I didn’t want to know. He got that wicked grin again, and I got wet panties. I squeezed my thighs together and he chuckled.

“Ok, if that’s what you want. Anyway then we have dinner at Jake and Leah’s. I don’t have time to shop today.” He frowned “Don’t think for me Isabella, I had no intension of shopping today.”

His voice was exacting. I lowered my chin feeling like a regretful child. “Isabella?”

My eyes once again met his. He was smiling; his hand came out to stroke my face once before going on “Its ok, no big deal. What I wanted to say was that, I could come to your house earlier and look through stuff you already have. I’m sure you must have a few things that will work. You checked off corsets, you have one?” I smiled at him, nodding “I have several.”

“Good we will start with those. Your appointment is at three How about I come over around four-thirty. That will give us an hour.”

Edward paid the bill, refusing to let me contribute. As we were walking back to campus holding hands, I was quiet, just enjoying the feel of his hand in mine. He kissed me quickly, as we departed. I watched him walk away, feeling a little sad at his absence.

As I walked to my office I thought about that. I don’t ever remember feeling anguished over not being with James. Even in the beginning. If he was around ok, if he wasn’t, it didn’t matter. His presence had no impact on my state of mind.

Then once we were married, I was happier when he wasn’t around. But there was something about Edward, it’s like I was a puzzle with one missing piece. Try as I may to find that piece or stick something else in the void, it just wasn’t right. But he fits in that opening perfect and makes me feel complete. How can that be, we just met for god sakes, I didn’t have the answers. I wasn’t even sure I wanted an answer; I just knew I wanted to be with him, always.

Chapter 9

EPOV

I escorted Bella back to the kitchen to see Garret, he was busy, but he said he could give us a few minutes. I left Bella take over the conversation, and just stood back and watched this amazing woman take command of the situation. Apparently he was in need of a cook, for immediate placement. He couldn’t guarantee that the position would last past the season, but he would be interested in speaking to her further about it. Before we left, she made plans to call him tomorrow when he had more time, and they had privacy.

As we walked back to meet Emmett and Rose, she had a look of satisfaction on her face. “You guys ready to head out? Rose wants to hit a few shops before we get back on the ferry.” Bella and Rose went to use the bathroom, while we paid the bill. When the girls rejoined us I told Emmett we would meet them at the pier.

Once they were gone, I wrapped my arms around Bella’s waist pulling her close to me. She smiled and came willingly placing her palms on my chest, I leaned in and kissed her. Her lips were so soft and moist. Pulling back I left my hand run down over her bottom. “I was just wondering if you have room for some ice cream.”

“Oh... a treat? I must have been a good girl.” she giggled

“I love that sound” I told her as I kissed her again. “Actually, I really want some ice cream, the shop here makes their own. It’s fantastic.”

The sky was ablaze with rays of golden yellow and orange as we leaned against the bike eating ice cream. I watched her mouth, while she ate. The way her tongue peeked out between her lips to catch the residue left from the spoon.

She had a look of contentment on her face she caught me watching her, making the cutest shade of pink wash over her features. Chuckling I leaned over kissing the top of her head “You are so cute when you blush” I whispered by her ear before I stuck my spoon in her bowl, swiping a taste. “Hey! Eat your own ice cream!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the look on her face “I told you, treats are mine to give or take away.” Bella’s eyes scrunched together, as she starting shoving a big spoonful into her mouth. “What are you doing?” Her mouth was full with the frozen treat as she mumbled “Eting ess, so you can’t ake it aay”

Setting my bowl on the seat of the bike, I laughed, putting my hands on her hips to pull her to me. “You’re silly” I said placing a kiss on her forehead. “I’m not going to take your treat. You enjoy it.” I kissed her again. Taking the spoon she brought it up to my lips “I’ll share”

“You have some ice cream, right here.” Bella rose on her toes letting her tongue ran across the middle of my bottom lip. I pulled her closer to me, kissing her, feeling the warmth of her lips and the coolness of her tongue. She moaned wrapping one arm around my neck, pulling me impossibly closer to her. Somewhere in my frenzied state I remembered that we were in a public place. Reluctantly I pulled back from her. The look in her eyes was one of pure lust.

The smug grin on my face made her blush as she diverted her eyes from me. I placed my finger under her chin, her eyes meeting mine once again. “Did you have a nice afternoon?” “

I did” she replied with enthusiasm “thank you for bringing me. I’ve never been to the Island before.”

I was surprised at that, people bring the ferry over just to walk around, but a thought occurred to me “Well then, that makes us uneven, doesn’t it?” A look of confusion washed over her, so I went on to explain. “You have now been where I grew up, but I haven’t been where you grew up.”

“You want to go to Forks?” she asked doubtfully almost with disdain. “Why not, I would love to see your high school, the house where you grew up...the cliff you jumped off of.” She giggled. “That bothers you, doesn’t it?”

I was playing with the end of her pony tail, letting the soft strands run through my fingers. “I just can’t picture you jumping off a sixty foot cliff” Her shoulders shrugged “It’s only sixty feet on the top you know, it gets lesser as you go down “

“Oh great, that makes me feel better.” I kissed her softly as Emmett was pulling next to us.

“You fuckers went and got ice cream didn’t you?”

“You could have come.” I looked at Bella. ‘Too bad we didn’t think to get any for them.” “He’s your brother.” She said with a ring of innocence.

“Come on little Bella, I thought you and me were tight.” he said putting his arm over her shoulder. I reached in the saddle bag, pulling out the cold pack “Here, I got a quart for you. Now get your arm off her.” Taking the container he released Bella “See Rosie, told ya they loved us.”

The air was cooler on the ferry back to Seattle. Bella looked really good in her form fitting leather jacket. We stood near the bikes, keeping to ourselves. Bella leaned into me with her back against my chest. I wasn’t going to complain, my arms fit perfectly around her waist pulling her closer.
I was discussing the upcoming week with Emmett while she and Rose talked. It seemed comfortable and easy.

Bella fit in so naturally with my family, it was almost like she was meant to be with us. Rose can be a hard ass and difficult to get along but Bella wasn’t having any problem with her. When we starting docking the girls hugged, saying something about shopping next week with Alice. I hope Bella knows what she is getting into shopping with my sister. I smiled to myself at the thought. ‘What are you grinning about?” She asked in my ear. “Nothing baby, nothing.” I said kissing her cheek, while she blushed.

I was pulling into the driveway at the back of her house. Her arms came up wrapping around my shoulders, kissing my neck. “Do you want to come in?” I used my hands to release her grip, so I could get up. She sat looking up at me questionably “Ah Bella” my lips meeting hers. ‘Hmmm...I would love to come in, but you have some work to do, and papers to fill out, and sleep to be had. So I don’t think that is a good idea.” Her pout was utterly adorable and it almost weakens my resolve. “Come on” I said taking her hand.

Seth came out of his door, while we were standing on her back porch. He completely ignored us, instead went down into the yard to do his business. “I think he’s mad at me for keeping you out all day.”

“He’ll get happy again, as soon as I feed him.” she said with a backwards glance, before meeting my eyes. “I had a really nice day Edward. Thank you” My hand was against her cheek, my thumb caressing across her lips “The pleasure was mine, Isabella”

A small moan escaped her lips “I love when you call me Isabella, it just does something to me.” My lips were on hers before I could think; it was impulse and pure need. Her mouth opened to allow me entrance, and another moan escaped her, making my dick twitch.

I let out a small sigh, as I pulled away from her. The look in her eyes told me what I already knew. “Bella, I think you better go into the house now, before I change my mind.” She placed her hands on my chest, her finger tips traced lightly over the planes of my abs. My dick was going into spasms against my jeans as I ground my hard on into her with a soft groan.

“Isabella...please, be a good girl and go into the house.” I hissed

I let out a sigh of relief when she opened her door “Good night Edward, thanks again”

“Sleep well Bella, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” My body was in overdrive, I needed to take a few cleansing breaths centering myself before I could get back on my bike. Instead of heading straight home, I decided to take a small detour around the park. I had some finishing touches to do for the finals that would begin on Tuesday, but I was afraid if I went home in this state of mind I would call her. It wouldn’t take very much for her to convince me to come back, because in all honesty that is what I really wanted to do.

Pulling into my driveway, I came to three conclusions. First, I truly enjoyed spending time with her. She is the first woman that I can honestly say holds my attention longer then it takes to do a scene with. I want to do those things with her, but I also want to know everything about her. I cared for the women that I was with, in a superficial way. I didn’t want them to be injured or sick, but I really didn’t want to know them outside the playroom either. It didn’t matter to me what they did in their daily lives. Or what outside circumstances they were dealing with. All that mattered was when they were before me, their focus was on that moment and our mutual pleasure. I never saw them outside of my playroom or the club. Not even Tanya, with whom I was with for close to a year. None of them had ever mattered enough to me. But with Bella, I found myself looking for reasons to be with her.

Second, there is a burning passion that lies somewhere deep inside her. When she lay on that mattress and told me her fantasy, I was truly shocked. Not from her words, but from the feeling that was exuding from her. I could almost taste her arousal in the air, as her body reacted to what her mind was imagining. Then when she opened her eyes to look at me, the ever present mask she wore was gone. She was completely open and uninhibited. Throughout our day, I saw her passion for life, laughter and companionship.When she laughed it was almost infectious, and when she was speaking with Rose about her past, her compassion was undeniably clear. Yes, Isabella is very passionate.

And Third, I am going to need help in her training. I have never started from scratch before, not that it bothers me very much. I won’t have to waste time re-training her in order to rid her of bad habits. The thing that has me concerned is that I have to split myself up to keep things separate. The fact that I want to know and grow with the passionate woman that is Bella, and yet be Isabella’s Dominate at the same time had me worried. I found myself wanting to give into her wishes - that would be fine for Bella. But Isabella was going to need me to be strong and follow through with my responsibilities when it comes to her training. Would I be able to punish her? Or would I find myself with a spoiled bratty submissive who just wants to play? That second scenario wouldn’t do either of us any good.

To be honest with myself, that thought scared the shit out of me. I had to figure out how to keep the two parts of our relationship separate, if that is even a possibility -I didn’t want a 24/7, and I am pretty damn sure Bella didn’t either - which is why I didn’t stay with her tonight, even though I wanted to very badly. My resolve was beginning to waver, and I had to force her to go inside. Yes, I was definitely going to need guidance, because I don’t want to fuck this up.

The question is, who? I feel like I’m in a twelve-step program trying to decide who will be a good sponsor. I laughed out loud at that thought. I could ask Emmett, He and Rosie make it work. Aro, would be a better choice, he seemed to have a connection with Bella. The only thing that I can see as a problem is that he and Jane live 24/7. I know he loves her, very, very much, and yet he still is her Master. Looking at the clock 10:45, I wonder if he is at the club. Picking up my phone, I dial his number, it goes straight to voice mail.

“Aro, this is Edward. I was wondering if you could give me a few minutes of your time to discuss Isabella. I’ll be up until midnight, if you have a chance to call by then. If not, perhaps sometime tomorrow. Thank you.”

The call had just disconnected, when a text message came in. I thought it might be Aro so I was surprised when I saw it was, Bella. Why isn’t she in bed?


Edward, are you still awake? I have a question. - B

I am awake. The question I have is why are you not in bed? - E

I am in bed, I’m reading your papers, I don’t know what something is. You told me to ask you if, I had a question. So I am asking, What is Figging?...Is it sticking leaves all over your body like Adam and Eve? - B

I chuckled as I wrote back.

My dearest silly girl, Figging is the use of Ginger Root. - E

Sir, your girl would like to know what the ginger does and how it is used? - B

Ginger is used to create a warm sensation in/on sensitive areas Its effects are building in intensity, lasting about thirty minutes, does that answer your question? - E

Yes, thank you - B

You’re very welcome. Now, go to sleep Isabella. - E

She didn’t text back that was good. I figured she had to be asleep by 11:00 to get her full eight hours. Once my work was finished, I took a quick shower, while I was drying off, my phone rang. Checking the caller ID, I smile, Aro.

“Good evening Aro, how is your night going?”

“Very well Edward. What can I do for you? You had mentioned Ms Swan in your message, is everything all right with her?” The concern for her was clear in his voice. “Yes she is very well. We spent the day together along with Emmett and Rosalie. I have some concerns that I was hoping you might be able to help me with. I won’t take much of your time, if I could just state my concerns and then you can decide if it is something you would be willing to help me with.”

After clearing his throat, he told me to continue. “I’m taking Isabella as my submissive.” I waited to hear his reaction “go on.”

I sighed “The thing is, I don’t just want her as my submissive, I want to be with her. Go out for dinner, see a movie, have a picnic in the park.”

“That doesn’t sound like a problem Edward that sounds like you are quite enamored with Ms Swan. I don’t blame you, she is a lovely young woman.” I had to agree with him “She is, she is funny, articulate, levelheaded and compassionate. She is unlike any other woman I have ever met.”

He was quiet so I continued “My concern is…is it possible to have two different kinds of relationships with the same woman? I want to do right by her, be the Dominate she needs and desires and yet be the man who shelters and protects her.”

Aro sighed before he spoke “Edward as a Dominate that is your role, to shelter, protect and provide for. That encompasses the whole self, you are not just providing basic necessities, you provide her with what she needs to be complete”

I was beginning to feel juvenile “I know that, and I have that down. But where does the boyfriend end, and the Dom pick up? How do I keep a balance or the right perspective for each role? I want to give her everything, I care for her, how am I ever going to be able to punish her?”

“Edward you are who you are. You can set certain times for play, or you can take it as it comes. You cannot just shut off your dominate side, because it is a Monday morning. She will inevitably be confused as will you. Have your protocol for the playroom, but make her respect you at all times. When it comes to punishment....Well, I will tell you, it is necessary, you know this. Is it difficult? Yes it is. I love your aunt very much. The first time I had to punish her, I cried more than she. When it was done, I was so disgusted with myself that I failed to provide her with the necessary after care and comfort. Because I was more concerned with my own emotions than I was with hers. Fifteen years later, I am still sorry about that. And I still get a little twinge when chastisement is in order. Thankfully, it does not happen often.”

He was quiet as if in thought “But I do what must be done, for both our sakes. She needs me to be what I am, just as I need her to be what she is. It’s a give and take. She is my wife, my friend, my confidant, my voice of reason and my slave. And Edward Ms Swan can be all those things to you, and still show you the respect you need and she desires to give. Do you understand what I am saying?”

“Yes...you are saying that I should allow her to be my friend, lover and submissive at all times, in the playroom and out. So my plan was to use her full name when I meant business and just Bella on a regular basis.”

“That sounds like a plan to me. That way she would know that her actions are going to have consequences. For example, you are having your picnic in the park, and she is acting inappropriate or in a dangerous manor. It would be your responsibility to correct her. How would she know that you were serious?”
He waited for my answer “I say, Isabella”

He laughed “Yes, and she will respond so long as you do not confuse her by saying it when you don’t mean it.”

“That was my original plan, I was just curious to know if it was possible do it that way.” “

I don’t see why it would not, train her to know and trust you. That doesn’t mean that she will not have her own opinion on things. She will, she will tell you what she thinks and she will call you on stuff that she feels you are doing wrong. But make her do it with respect. Take what she says to heart, as you said she is an intelligent woman, and her opinions might just be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong with that. Give her the credit she deserves and reward her for caring enough about you to speak up. You are the Dominate my boy, but this is her relationship too. If all you want is a playmate, then continue on with the way you have been going. But if you are ready to grow with a woman in a relationship, then I can think of no finer woman for you than Ms Swan.”

“I’m just scared I’m going to fuck it up.” His laughter rang through the phone “You probably will.”

“Thanks, that is just what I wanted to hear.”

“Just take it slow, build upon each lesson, reward and correct as needed. You know all this Edward. ...Listen I know Ms Swan will tell you, if she hasn’t already. She comes from an abusive marriage, a very abusive marriage, one that has left her with a permanent disability.”

“Her neck?” I interjected. “Yes, she told you?”

“Just about the scar, not what happened.”

“Hmm...She will tell you. She also has an extreme fear, of dark enclosed places. Which is why she had extra windows installed in her home.”

That’s why there are so many windows and no curtains or drapes. Women live for drapes. Aro continued “If I were to ever meet that sad excuse for a man, I would string him up by his toes and drain every drop of blood he has...You treat her well Edward, and if you need me, I’m here for you my boy.”

“Thank you, I might take you up on that.”

“That’s fine. I don’t mind. But do me and yourself a favor, and tell Ms Swan that we talked. You want her to be honest with you, then you need to be honest with her. It will build trust. Another thing, you don’t want her to hear it through the grape vine, or find out somewhere down the road. That will just cause problems, believe me, learn from my mistakes. So just tell her and make sure she doesn’t have a problem with it. You don’t have to tell her everything that was said, word for word, just be honest with her.”

“I will and thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.” I could hear the smile in his voice You’re more than welcome my boy, I’m very happy for you, and Ms Swan. She is special, and I believe that you are the perfect match for her. I’m so very glad that you two found each other.
Have a good evening Edward”

“Good night Aro, thanks again.”

After my conversation with Aro, I had a better understanding of what I needed to do. My original plan just needed to be slightly modified. I would have to speak with Bella tomorrow, maybe we could have lunch. I still don’t know her daily schedule. That will have to be the first thing that gets straighten out. Then we need to have a heart to heart about what Aro had mentioned concerning her permanent disability. I haven’t seen anything that would indicate a problem, so I would have to ask her point blank. The fear she has of dark enclosed places would also come up, before we could proceed with any playtime. Which I was hopeful would begin in fullness this Friday.

I awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and full of energy. It was only 6:45 I had time for a run, before I had to get ready for work. Without thinking, I went to the running trail in the park, by way of Bella’s street. Her house looked quiet from what I could see, although the windows were uncovered I assumed that meant she was awake.

As I ran I thought more about what Aro said ‘If all you want is a playmate, then continue on with the way you have been going. But if you are ready to grow with a woman in a relationship, then I can think of no finer woman for you than Ms Swan.’

That’s what I wanted, I was sure that is what she was expecting. She hasn’t been with a man -willingly, that thought making me run harder - for fsix years. If she had just wanted to be a plaything or a quick fuck, she could have found that a long time ago. No Aro was correct, she is special, and a fine woman and she trusted me to bring her back to life. I could do it, I would do it.

My run lasted longer than I anticipated causing me to hurry to make it to my first class. Afterwards I had told my students that I would have office hours until noon, then again after lab until three. My day was set, students came in and out dropping off last minute papers or asking question.

It wasn’t until after two that I had a spare moment to call Bella. She picked up on the second ring, sounding like she was in a hurry. She explained that she had to pick someone up and make the 3:10 ferry in order to keep the appointment with Garrett. I didn’t want her to be on the phone while she was driving, so we made arrangements for her to come to my house for dinner around seven. I hung up with a smile, knowing that I would see my girl soon

Deciding on Chicken Cacciatore, with wild rice and broccoli, it was simple and safe. I was just steaming the vegetable when the front door bell rang. She stood on my porch with a contagious smile on her face. She was still wearing her work clothes. A gray pencil skirt, with a soft pink shirt, medium heels that looked more comfortable then they probably were. Her hair was loose, hanging softly over her shoulders. Even with the smile on her face, she looked worn.

“Hey Babe, tough day?” She stepped through the door with a heavy sigh “Just long, I feel like I ran a marathon” my hands were on her face, I kissed her quickly “Are you hungry? Dinner is almost ready.” She followed me into the kitchen. “It smells great, and yes I’m starving, I didn’t really have time for lunch, so I ate half my sandwich on the ferry.” I wasn’t very happy about that, she needed more nutrition than a half of sandwich. “You only had half a sandwich all day?” the annoyance in my voice being very clear.

“Are you going to yell at me?” her voice was quiet, almost childlike and timid. Gathering my composure and resolve I told her “No, but I am going to remind you to take better care of yourself.”

“I know it was an unusual day” I pursed my lips “Bring the wine, this is ready.” After sitting we talked about our day. She had been busy, and the appointment she had with Garret seemed to please her. “Edward, is he a good man?” I looked at her wondering why she was asking “Garret? Yes, he is fair and honest. Why do you ask?”

“Usually, I would do a full back ground check, speak to employees, present and previous,” She left out a worried sigh “I just don’t have that much time. She needs to begin working. I hate cutting corners, especially with someones future.”

“Like I said I know Garret six years, he is fair, keeps a level head, and seems to care about his employees”

“He said he would make sure that she got to the ferry safely. I was glad for that. Well, I guess we will just have to see how it works out.” She still had a worried look on her face, but her resolve was set.

She was helping with the dishes “Thank you for dinner Edward, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I figured I would just go home and eat the other half of my sandwich.”

I shot her an angry glare, she giggled. When the kitchen was done, she picked out a movie, and we sat on the couch together. While it was loading and the going through all the previews, I figured it was a good time to bring up my conversation with Aro.

“I want to talk to you about something.”

“What is something wrong?”

“No” I said, tucking her hair behind her ear. “Nothing is wrong. I just want to be honest with you, and I want you to know that I spoke with Aro last night.” She tilted her head to the side “About what?”

“About us, I told him that I had taken you as my submissive.”

“And, what did he say?” The words were common enough, but there was venom in her voice, like she was appalled. What did she think he would say? I was confused “That he was glad.”

Her body stiffened as she pulled back from me “Are you going to tell him, what we do?” Her eyes looked past me. “Not that there is much to tell.” She mumbled quietly. “

What does that mean?”

“Nothing” she spat out, standing up. “I need to use your bathroom.”

I watched her in disbelief. Did she think I would speak of our time together with someone else? Like a high school boy in the locker room, and what the fuck does she mean by, ‘there’s not much to tell?’

“Bel” I started to speak, I wanted her to clarify for me, but she cut me off. “Edward, thanks for dinner, I’m really tired. I’m going to go. I will drop off those papers for you tomorrow, so you’ll know how you can use me on Wednesday.”

Picking up her purse she headed for the door. “Bella! What do you mean use you? I don’t want to use you.”

Coming up behind her, she stopped abruptly keeping a trembling hand on the door knob. Her breath was ragged “You don’t want me Wednesday either?”

I could hear the tears in her voice. “I thought...never mind. Let me know when you want me.”

Her whole body was shaking as she tried to open the door I was blocking with my hand. “Edward please...just let me leave with some dignity.”

I watched her from my porch, as she drove away. What the fuck just happened? She looked tired when she got here, but she seemed happy almost excited. What the hell did she think I would talk to Aro about? She didn’t even let me explain. Besides we haven’t had sex yet, just that one orgasm...oh, shit - ‘not much to tell’ - she was saying that we didn’t have a sex life. ‘Use her on Wednesday’ - “Fuck!”

Could she think I don’t want her outside of the playroom? Why would she think that? I spent the whole weekend with her, what the fuck is she thinking? ‘Let me know when you want me’ - God Damn It! She thinks I don’t want her.

“Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!”

It took me about a minute of standing there playing back her words to try and decipher the hidden meaning behind her terminology. If that is even what she meant, I couldn’t be sure, but I had to find out.

I was in my car and heading over to her house without a moment’s hesitation. Her car sat in the open garage, I pulled into the driveway directly behind her, and I could see Bella was still inside. She didn’t hear me as I approached her, or if she did made no acknowledgment of my presence. Both her hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles where turning white. Her body was slumped forward, with her head resting on the back of her wrist. She was visibly shaking with tears, and my heart broke to see her so distraught.

Opening her door, I squatted down next to her. “Bella” she didn’t answer. My hand slide down the length of her hair “Baby, please look at me”

Her head moved so her cheek now rested on her wrist, she looked at me with red, puffy eyes. Her face was flushed with streaks of black running down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful as she sniffled

“Baby, tell me what happened. There has to be something else, besides our... misunderstanding. That’s what we just had back there, I didn’t make myself clear, and I think you jumped to conclusions.”

Bella sucked in a shuddering breath, “I...I...I, really… try...”

She wasn’t making any sense, and I wanted to get her out of the car, and into the house. So she could calm down and we could talk.

“Come here” After prying her hands off the steering wheel, I pulled her out of the car, cradling her in my arms bridal style. She seemed so defeated and anguished, her head laid against my shoulder, her body still shaking as she tried to get her breathing under control.

“Baby, what’s the code to open your door?”

“7...2..3..8..9" she said through shaky breaths as I held her tightly.

“Do I need to do anything to the security system?” she didn’t answer, just shook her head.

The house was quiet, the only light coming from above the stove, and a table lamp in the living room. I was going to put her down on the couch, but decided that she would be more comfortable in her bed. As I laid her down, she held onto my shirt with both fists, new tears were running down her face

“Baby, I’ll be right back”

I forced her hands off my shirt, kissing her forehead before walking into the kitchen to get her a drink. Seth was sitting by the cabinet under the sink where his food was kept. I figured he was hungry. After feeding him, I took a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, and then headed into the bathroom for some pain relievers and a cold wash cloth.

Bella was where I left her, one arm at her side, the other laying across her face, covering her eyes. The room was dark, except for the light coming through the door to the bathroom. When I sat on the bed, her arm lifted and I could see the apprehension in her eyes.

“I’m sorry Edward” a single tear escaping her eye.

“Here, sit up, I brought you some Tylenol” After taking a drink, I used the washcloth to wipe her face. She sighed and smiled sadly, before lying back on the pillow. Reaching down I took her shoes off, kicking mine to the floor before lying down next to her, and drawing her into my arms. Her body was laying aside of mine, her head on my shoulder, while I rubbed small circles along her arm, kissing the top of her head.

“You feeling better?” her body stiffened at my question as she took a deep cleansing breath.

“Yes, a little bit.” lifting her chin with my hand, I could see the tears threatening to spill again. The pad of my thumb capturing it, she sniffled.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

Her eyes narrowed, “I’m just sorry.”

My arms held her secure, I wanted her to know that I wasn’t going anywhere, but I needed her to tell me what had upset her so much. It had to be more than our misunderstanding. “What exactly, are you sorry for?”

Her body wiggled in closer to me, so her head was higher on my shoulder. I could feel her breath on my neck as she spoke. “For freaking out back there, I should have let you explain.”

I thought about that for a minute, taking her hand, kissing the back of it. “Yes, you should have. That would have elevated some of the problem, but not all of it.”

She was quiet as I continued. “Let’s start this all over shall we? How was your day?”

She sighed “It was good, I guess.”

“You guess?”

Her shoulders lifted in a shrug “I was busy. I got a lot done. Looks like Peggy is going to have a job. But.” her voice trailed off.

“But?” I could hear her breathing become labored; she was fighting off tears again. Pulling back, I tried to get her to look at me, but her head was buried in the crease of my neck.

“Baby what happened?”

All kinds of scenarios went through my head. She didn’t seem injured, so I didn’t think she was attacked. She wouldn’t tell me and the longer I waited the more worried I got, finally I demanded. “Isabella, tell me what happened.”

“It’s stupid, I shouldn’t even be upset. I should expect it by now.”

Piecing together her words, all I could think was it had something to do with the center. “Something happened at the center?”

“She left. She went back to her husband. This is the third time she came for help and she went back again. I just feel like I failed her.” Bella sniffled in my shirt; I reached over to the night stand for a tissue. “Thank you”

I kissed the top of her head, lightly rubbing my hand down the length of her arm. “You’re welcome. Now tell me what could you have done differently? If you have sat by her side twenty-four hours a day, do you think the outcome would be different? Or would she have chosen to go anyway?”

“She would have left anyways, its part of the cycle. I don’t know why I even try. I give so much time, energy and money, why do I even bother? It doesn’t make a bit of difference.”

Taking her face in my hands, I forced her to look at me. “Yeah, your right...you didn’t make a bit of difference in Peggy’s life did you? You can’t save the world Isabella. If five hundred women come through that center and only one gets a better life, is it worth it? Or do you turn down that person, because the other four hundred and ninety-nine, choose to ignore the opportunity.”

She was quiet “What I’m asking, is saving one Peggy worth all your time, effort and money, or is she just not worth it?”

“Of course she’s worth it.” I looked at her waiting for her to see the absurdity of the previous statement.

“You know Bella, I admire you. You see an injustice and you at least attempt to help make a difference. Most people don’t have the courage to get involved.” My arms wrapped around her waist, turning so her back was on the bed, and was looking down at her. I ran my hand through her hair. “But not my brave Bella.”

“I’m not brave.” she said turning her face away from me. I guided it back with my hand.

“You are brave, braver then me.” She shook her head “You are, do you know why I didn’t go into pediatrics?”

‘You said you didn’t get the residency?” Her response sounded like a question.

“There are a lot of residency programs Bella. The real reason, I took a different route was because; I don’t have the guts that it takes to deal with sick children. I could do well visits, flu’s and chicken pox. But when it comes to really sick children, I wouldn’t be brave enough to help them. Even though eighty percent might live, the other twenty percent scare me so much, that I couldn’t help any of them. So I chickened out.”

I kissed her lips tenderly “But you baby, how many woman leave and get a better life, for themselves and their children?”

“I don’t know, more go back, at least once.”

“And yet you’re still there cheering on the underdogs. Courage baby...real courage...I know it must get frustrating at times, but it must be rewarding when you make a difference in some one’s life. I’m proud of you. I think you are an exceptional woman.” “

You do?” She was almost uncertain.

“Yes, I do.”

I kissed her again, this time with more energy. Her hands found purchase on my arms, pulling me closer to her. Her lips opened, biting my bottom lip softly, causing me to groan. My hands moved down along her ribs and under her back, turning her so she was once again lying on my chest. She pulled back from me, and smiled. I stoked her cheek with the back of my hand.

“Do you want to talk about the rest of what happened tonight? I know you were stressed, but we can’t let misunderstandings get in the way.”

She sat upright, with her legs out straight. “I don’t know what happened. It’s just that…” she stopped talking “What?”

“I really don’t know.” leading back against the headboard, my hands folded behind my head, I left out a long breath “Ok, let’s start again. I spoke with Aro last night.”

She pursued her lips but wouldn’t meet my eyes. “Why does that upset you?”

Bella was quiet, playing with an imaginary tread on the comforter. “I don’t want you talking about me.”

“Would it make you feel better to know, as a subject you only came up, when he told me to be good to you?”

That seemed to have gotten her attention because she looked up at me. “Isabella I wouldn’t tell people what goes on behind closed doors. Our time together is just that, our time. No one else’s. Yes eventually, we will join others, or they will join us. But that is still our time, and whatever happens is kept among those who are there. It’s not announced in a monthly newsletter.”

Her eyes lowered “There is not much to tell. It’s not Wednesday yet.” her voice was so quiet, I had to struggle to hear it.

“Are you under the delusion that I don’t desire you?” Her silence was enough of an answer. I laughed

“It’s not funny!” Her anger made me laugh harder

“Oh, but it is.” She bolted up from the bed, left the room before I could stop her. I was going to follow her, when she came back in holding some folded papers.

“Here, Look! I don’t blame you for not wanting me; I am a complete failure when it comes to sex. I hated sex with James, it made me sick to have him on top of me. I thought maybe it was just him, that with some...with you... and I found myself wanting to be with you. When you took me into the playroom, God, all I could think about was what I wanted you to do to me. So I thought that it was him, not me. But every time...”

“Every time what?”

She sat on the edge of the bed tears forming in her eyes “You keep ...it’s so easy for you to walk away from me, so ...I guess it’s just me after all.”

It took a second for her words to register. She had no idea how desirable she is. I stood up in front of her, taking her hand and placing it on my very hard cock. “Does that feel like I don’t desire you?”

Her hand squeezed around me, eliciting a groan. Her breathing picked up as her face turned a shade of pink, but she didn’t remove her hand. “Isabella, look at me” her chin came up, her eyes were a mixture of tears and of arousal.

My lips met hers, as my weight pushed her back on the bed. Her hands came up to my hair, pulling lightly, making my dick grind into her stomach. She opened her mouth for me, sucking my tongue into her mouth, I groaned at the feeling.

My hands were running up her stomach over the flesh of her breast. Her back arched and she moaned as I rubbed across her nipple. My mouth left hers, tracing the contours of her neck with wet kisses. She tried to scoot up the bed, but I held her hips in place. My lips moved to her ears “Oh, no you don’t. I waited long enough Isabella.”
