Mel, I have been reading your story on the other site and I am glad you moved the story here, it was so hard to register there...

I have not missed a chapter yet and I am loving what you have been writing. 

So much has happened and I am glad that they are working on their relationship.. but always in the back of my mind is Carlisle... What is he doing? What is going to happen? What is he planning? etc etc and I am sure I am not the only one. 

I cant wait for the next installment.

Email me sometime and let me know how you have been.

Fiorella

Please let Edward explain what he is going to do to her... 

Really cant she get some peace, it really upsets me that this has to happen.  Can someone just put a bullet in Carlisle head and be done with it.  No one has to know... say he went on extended vacation and dump his body in a deep depths of the ocean. 

I have to say that I am actually sickened with this chapter, I was dry reaching when I was reading it.  It truly upsets me, I thought they were making progress but it is like they have now taken 500 steps backwards.

Ohh well, it all happens for a reason I will see where this is going... thanks for the update and chapter I still love the story... now I am going to get my nerves under control... Have a good week Mel.

Holy crap Mic, you scared me there for a second.

Thank you for not letting Edward break his promise and I just hope Bella is able to get some peace soon, and I hope she marries Edward soon as well.

Please don't let the like of Marcus or Demetri get their hands on her.  Then her life will truly be in danger.  Carlisle is bad enough. 

Mic, I was wondering where you were going with the garden, because as you were describing what Esme went though was similar to what Bella went through and I thought, oh this is a repeat chapter.  I was totally wrong by the time I got to the last line my heart was heavy and I wanted to cry.

Thank you for explaining the garden to us.  As always wonderfully written. 

Mic, I am stupid, I have been going though the review trying to figure out what HEA stands for and I just figured it out. 

HAPPY EVER AFTER.  Clap clap for me. 

Please update soon...  as I said I have been reading what everyone else has written to see if I can figure out who would be on the other side of the door.  The reason I don't feel it is Edward is because she asked for the man up above to give her a break.  

I also have to say I like some of the peoples view of how to get back at Carlisle and I say letting him rest in a prison cell is to nice.  I think a lot of punishment from the 4 ladies would be better and maybe some starvation as well like he did to Esme.  Then I would turn his words against him and get the 3 boys to come up with the most evil thing they could think of him to do like he made them with Esme.  A bit of payback.  Maybe even a bit of back door sex seeing as he seem to like to take it by force.  Let see how much once he has it done to him by force. 

I could keep going by I wont it just get really evil after that one. Barb wire is involved and that is not pretty.  But then only the best for him. 

Mic, I am sure everyone that has read the story would love for you to send it to print.  I know I would buy a book, even though you have to change the names.

I love how they have grown and how they still grow. I cant wait to see what you do with the Epi and I totally understand why it has taken Bella that long to go on an actul date with Edward.

Love this story so much.  Thank Mic for writing it.

ohh, I love caring Edward.

I just hope soon Bella would be okay with everything.

Ohh it is a shame to be cut off there.

Loving the story.

Can these tow not catch a friggen break... I am about to throw my laptop against the wall!!  I really want everyone to fuck off, and Edward to lock her in a fucking room and get this converstaion started othersies they are going to blink and they will be 50 and still not had the conversation!!!!

Still loving the story... just want to knock their blocks off!

YAY!!!!!!!!

They talked and opened up.  I am so proud of them, I know the road head is going to be long and hard but I feel if they are honest with each other and talk they should be right.

I really would like to see Edward put Rose in her place for what she did.  She really needs to be brought down a peg or 20!

Yeah, I am hoping the next chapter they will cover everything that needs to be said.  I really do hope that Bella understand and I really do hope Edward explains properly, no more pussy footing around.

YEAH!!!

Cecilia, 

What a beautiful wedding, and start to their honeymoon.  I really do they have a wonderful honeymoon.  For all the crap they have been though they both deserve it. 

I love it and thank you for the update. 

I have only read 10 chapter so far and I like how you have set this, it is a beautiful victorian story and I am loving it.  I cant wait to see what Edward says, but I am on the fence of wether I am going to like it or not. 

Wow, I am amazed that Bella still has not said anything about Rose.  I am sorry but he should be told what a lying bitch she is. 

I really do hope he does not loose the house.  It does not belong to Rose just because she think she is the shit, she is definitely runny shit. 

I guess that saying "I am your always" is as close as either of them are willing to get to saying I love you.

I like Roses punishment, I think I would like to see Emmett with Angela I think they would make a cute couple.  Seeing as you are at chapter 22 I shall find out soon enough. 

So Edward can't say I love you yet, totally understand about with what that wendh did to him.

Hopefully soon Edward will realise what he is able to say and do because he is stronger than he thinks. 

Yay, about time Edward, see was not that hard...

I am not sure if this is the ending of the story but I have to say if it is what an ending. 

Every thing she never thought she wanted she got. 

Well I am glad that Renee took it better than Charlie did, I really do hope that Charlie tries and says sorry again.

I like how these two have just fallen head over heals for each other and how they are just so loving.

what a loving chapter, It was what they really needed to get their relationship cemented. 

It is going to be interesting to see how you bring James back in.  I was wondering when he would show back up.  I know there are going to be rough times ahead for Bella and Edward when he shows up. 

Ohhh, it has taken me 6 hours to read your story and I have to say you had me in tears, laughing, angry, scarred, pain, joy, and about 10 other emotions. 

I really have enjoyed reading this story and I really can not wait for you to update soon.  I have a feeling that Jessica is going to end up taking the baby and I am sure she need to be punished severely for it. 

OHHH Evil is not the correct word for her... but i cant really use the one I want...

I am sure a lot of people would do something like this if they could. 

Cant wait to see what is going to happen.

OMG I did not realise you were writing Explosive Encounters... I have to say that James is just pure evil in that as well as Jacob and Billy... I really hope you do some damage to them.  Not just a quick bullet.  Anyone how is not reading this story should.  Keeps me on my toes. 

I have not started Ripple Effect yet but it is on my fav's list.  Will start it soon. 

Loved this story and I love the ending, it was beautiful.  I am always sad to see a story I love end, but I know they always have to.  Thank you for writing it and I cant wait for the update on EE. Thank you again for this wonderful story. 

I have to say that the ending of this chapter is the funniest I have read in a long time.  I love how both Alice and Bella were goading the boys and it was fucking funny.  I love how Bella says "I know self defence" and "Bring it" I nearly fell off my chair laughing and just to top it off she poked her tongue at him. 

I feel there will be two very very very saw backsides in the morning. 

But I am sure it was worth it for the both of them 

Ohhh, poor Bella she just does not understand when to say no....  Alice is also a bit at fault.  Bella should listen to her inner self.

Please update soon I really love your story.

As I said, need a cold shower anyone. 

I say bring Jasper and Alice on.

Do I get a teaser now!!! he he he I am so funny.

Whoooo, I get to be the first... The non-beta beta. Haaa Haaa

Just letting you readers know that I can be bought!  It is a high price as well.  Five words for all of you "Robert Patterson and dinner date".  hehehe

If you cant do this for me then I will settle for the following as a dinner date:

Sam Worthington - Fellow Aussie like myself

Michael Schumacher - One sexy mother of an F1 Driver

Alexander Skarsgard - One hell of a sexy man, I love them tall seeing as I am nearly 6".

Only kidding!!!  But I feel the need to keep reviewing even though I know what is happening every week.  I just feel that you would be ripped off if I did not.  

Thank for the fun evening with the chappies as well, loved them and you readers have no idea what is installed for you all, you will love it. 

Wow, Michele the response this week is amazing.  Since everyone is having a little trouble dealing this the jealous issue I thought I would write a review and if people want to read it and get a better understand how BDSM works.

I am "JustJinger or Peoplelikeus" beta and I agree with your comment that Bella should have some balls but to beta this story and to keep it as close to real life I had to buy books on BDSM and I can tell you now I would make a really crappy sub! 

There is not room what so ever for JEALOUSY in BDSM.  As a submissive you have to trust your Dom and I am sorry to say what your Dom says goes.  Hence the reason for safe words.  If Bella was uncomfortable with what Edward was doing to her she should have said Yellow and talked to him or Red and they would have left the party.  But once again Bella's pride got in the way and she said nothing and stewed the night away.

As for what happened with Vanessa, if she was not happy, felt humiliated, or did not want to do it.  Once again she has her safe words.  She chose not to use it.  She is the only one in charge of how she feels and she is the only one that can use them.  Think of it like this, can you tell what your cat is feeling when it meow's at you, can you read its mind, no you cant.  Same with Edward, he has these word there for a reason, to let him know what she if feeling at all times.  He cant make her use them, also he keeps asking her what colour and she keeps saying green.  So he keep going on with his plan.  

Now I am in no way saying Bella is at fault.  I am not.  Edward should have prepared her a little better by sitting her down and forcing her to ask questions about the play party, but once again he asked if she had questions, you can take a horse to water but you cant make questions it drink.  So if Bella let the opportunity go, who is to blame.  

What these two are going through now is a learning curve, Bella has never been a sub before and Edward should have know better.  Bella has a way of not getting the information she needs or say "fine" all the time.  Instead of just leaving it to her to ask questions.  Edward should have sat down with her and had a proper conversation.  Be then you have to keep in mind he has never collared before, so he has never had to teach anyone.  They girls he has always had have been trained and collared many times before.

To be a true submissive when playing is to truly let go of all that you believe.  You have no control what so ever apart from feeling.  This is the point of the Dominant he controls you.  He controls your body to give you pleasure, pain, satisfaction, wants, needs, desire, greed, and so many more feeling.  The only thing you mainly control is how you feel physically and mentally about this.  Is it to much or to little.  I think the best way of describing it is you are Goldilocks inside the 3 bears house.

Edward is already to lenient on Bella, she gets away with so much, the yelling, the disobedience, the punishments, it should be at least 10 to 20 strokes per infringement, Edward is lucky to give her 10 sometimes.  If she was with a Dominant that did not do this her backside would be red not pink.  For example what she pulled in the playroom after Edward did not call for the week, where she had lost the weight etc, she had at least broken 4 or more rules that should have been at least 40 strokes and I totally understand why, but this is just an example of how Edward is being lenient on Bella. 

This is one thing that Michele and I argue about all the time, but at the end of the day it is her story and I am just here to guide her along.  But then again there is also a reason for this in her mind.  I am sure she will tell me soon... 

When I was editing this chapter for Michele, I know I had some of the same feeling and reactions, why this and that, and I had to really go back and read the books and make sure we got is right and I think we came really close.  

As for Bella "growing a pair" when she is collared she cant, she has her rules to follow and the big on is to be respectful at all times, so she can tell him what she feels but she had to take the emotion out of it, she cant yell at him, she cant swear at all, all things you would do if you saw your boyfriend kissing someone else, you just cant do this.   This is where it is hard in these controlling, submissive relationships.  You have to separate your Dom/sub relationship from your boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.  It is like anger should not to be brought into the playroom, either the Dom or sub could get hurt.  This is the same, emotions like these have to be left at the door or you do not play. 

So I hope this helps while you read the rest of the story, if not jump on a few web sites out there, there are some really good ones where you can learn and be informed about this lifestyle.  It really is an interesting way to live, the discipline a person needs, is amazing. 

Thank you for reading Michele's story and taking the time to review.  I hope this has helped a little.  If you have any questions I would try and answer them for you.  I am not into or do not practice BDSM but I have read a lot on the subject for Michele. 

Kind regards

Fiorella Maggiolo

I do not know what story I've been reading but that as sure as hell is not how the last chap ended... something is missing. And I really want to read it before this chap.

You did good as always Michele  Love Ya Fiorella

Hello crazy lady!!!!!!!!!

Hey Michie,

All Rec's are from FF!

Love Ya

What a way to start the story, I was killing myself laughing I actually had to get up and move around to breath.

Wow, Bella's an unhappy drunk.

Well in this situation anyway.

Ohh poor Eddie had a shitty night so to make himself feel better, he roped poor Bella into his boaring doctor night out's. Sure Edward just as friends... *wink wink* *nudge nudge* we all know.

Holy Crap, I want a friend like Edward.  Hmmm yeah I dont think this happens in real life but hey here is hoping.

Can you please tape Edward the next time he talks dirty, I am sure alot of ladies would get off listening to him

This chapter was buring hot.

Cullen is fucked.  I am not sure he realises that he is in the same boat as Bella and just has not realised it yet.

Wow, Edward is really opening up to Bella, it is nice to watch him grow and watch Bella learn pertinence.  They are beautiful together. 

Wow, it is about time he let go of the pass and I knew that Bella was the only one to help him thought it.  It will be interesting to see now that Grandma is not well, it Edward will go looking for his father. 

Try to find the only remaining relative that is left for him.

Just like last time you made me tear up.  I feel so sorry for Edward and the crap his has had to deal with all his life and then to emotionally shut himself off.  Now is has to relive all the emotional again but this time he gets to move on with Bella.  I can understand why he does not want to lean on her so much but it is time like these we are all grateful that he has her. 

I cant wait to see what Edward thinks when he meets Carlisle and Esme.  It is going to be so exciting to see how everything goes down. 

Till the next update thank you.

Wow what a wonderful chapter, I love these two, I hope they renovate the Brownstone and make it into one big home for themselves after they are married. 

I am sorry, but if Edward takes her back with a drop of a hat I will be pissed, not only has Bella put him thought he wringer, but his kids also, and with the help from his brother, I would never speak to them again and then I would go after partial custody for my child.

I would be so angry... and if you don't make Edward that angry, I am though with this story also.

So far Bella = bad and Edward = good. You will not change my mind, I don't care how messed up Bella is from her fathers death, you talk to the person you are having a child with, Edward never got to help choose the child's name, or see him come into this world... Bella did wrong by Edward.

It has taken me a little under a day to read your story and I have to say that it has taken my breath away.  From the raw emotion of what a person goes through when something like this happens to the hurt of reliving it when you close your eyes.  To standing in the shower scrubbing yourself trying to get even a minute amount of feeling clean, which never comes most of the time. I think the dirty feeling never leaves you. 

Yes I have been a victim of rape and thou I do not remember a lot of mine and though I have / was married to my husband of 14 years there are day that dirty feeling never leaves.  Even when I am totally feeling happy. It is a flash and then it goes again. 

So your story is hard hitting to the readers and I am amazed at the depth you have taken it and that is the reason I think it is a wonderful story.  So thank you for writing it truthfully and not skimming. 

I cant wait to read more and I am really looking forward to see how Bella goes during the trial. 

Loved this story from beginning to end.

Going to see what else you are writing.

holy crap, what an emotional story, I dont think I have cried so much,  But I loved it.

Thank you for writing it.

OMG Renee is a crack up.  How funny was she and Charlie was not any better.

I loving this story even though I just started reading on Tuesday.

I cant believe that I just found it by the off chance.  Now you have yourself a loyal reader.

Fiorella

Wonderful as always

Ohh, I have fallen in love with them all over again.

They are just too cute.

Cant wait for the next update.  Loving it.
