Cool! Love Aro!!! What a matchmaker! Thanks!

I really enjoyed the dual POV's.  Lets you know what both are thinking for a more complete story.

So many run ins.  What is Edwards deal?

So Aro is the matchmaker!  Good guy I hope.  I like Jake.

Thank god Bella is being reasonable and not fighting Edward on his ideas to keep her safe. I just hope they can figure it out before any more damage is done. 

I am proud that Bella finally admitted outloud that James raped her. It was a very important moment. It took her a long time to get there, but at least she got there. I loved how all the men in her lif circled around her not giving her any chance to escape. She is under their watch and control until further notice. She can't try anything because they will gang up on her. Edward feels so guilty for letting Bella drive. He knew better and he let her persuade him against his better judgement. Then when Bella said use me, it almost killed Edward. He doesn't want to be like James who used his anger on her. He loves her to much to do that no matter how frustrated and angry he is about the situration. Bella only gets his love.

Can't say I blame Edward for grounding her. Clearly someone is after her and putting your head in the sand and denying there's a problem doesn't make it go away! I can' understand Bella wanting her bits of freedom, but sometimes you have to be smarter than stubborn.

Love how he dealt with the cereal situation. I think it was just what both of them needed at the time. Too bad the comfort that comes from slipping into D/s roles can't seem to stay with them once they have to interact with the real world.

Cheers, Balti K

BPOV:  Glad she got back to work.   Carol was sneaky dropping it on her that way. Carol is right about the hope part.  Wonder where Jess is.  Thinking she'll come back to haunt them later.  oh Eddie.  Using the word grounded is soooo not going to help your case.  oh Charlie, you wanna dig your grave too?  Yea  Id be pissed if they were talking about me like I wasnt there either.   Oh eddie pulling out the Dom card is sooo not right.  Like she is gonna wanna talk to Charlie anytime soon.  She's a moody brat???  Well ya'll are treating her like one so might as well act like it.   She was reasonsable when he actually talked to her.   My whole problem with it was 1) he seemed to be yelling and demanding and pulling DOM on her when it wasnt thier time  2) He allowed Jake and Charlie to yell at her and threaten her too

Ah well.   Still loved the chapter and you hun.

Wow, the next chapter there will be something else?

Ok, this was a great chapter.  Very emotional.  I would like it if Bella explained to Edward her reaction, especially with the sigh.  She understands why she did it and I think it is reasonable.

Amazing as always Ms. L.  Until next time.

Amazing. Please don't ever stop writing this story. 

WOW!

départ canon!

Great update !!!!  very teary !!!

this is crazy mysterious.  love it.  is jess with mike, or alone?  cant wait to see what happens next!

They are all in a state of shock I think. Edward, Jake,  and Charlie.  I don't  think Bella see's the danger she is in.   Very scary!!   When is Edward going to propose??  Update soon.  I am greedy.. Love this story! :-)

oh gosh this just keeps getting more and more nerve wracking lol, keep up the good work Louise

I didn't think they really gave her a chance to say if she would comply or not.    I can understand why all the men are freaking out but did they give her a minute? Nope! 

As for being grounded, I can only hope they can keep her safe until the nuts make a mistake and they can find them.

I'm glad that she was finally able to admit to Edward and herself what happened to her.  It's a breakthrough.

Great chapter!

God things ate really starting to heat up. I wonder if James is in on the whole thing, the undercover club, the pictures, Karen needing to talk to Bella. Is he the puppet master pulling all the strings. Victoria is also a possibility   

There is my Edward:

Call me an over protective dictator all you want, it wasn’t going to happen again because there was no way in hell Bella was ever leaving the house alone until the mess was settled. And if she didn’t like it – tough shit!

LOL

Okay...I give....she is grounded!  ROTFLMAO!

Keye

Bella's comments on pate was a hoot!

Loved this:

What I won’t do is mourn the loss of something you never had. That gets you nowhere. It’s mentally exhausting and right now you need to be stronger than you have ever been, for Emmett, for the baby, and more importantly for Rose.”

Ha!  I KNEW someone would need Advil! LOL!

Tapping?  See?  I learn something new everyday!  LOL

She is grounded?  Did I miss something?

Keye

WOW!  E and B are SUCH A PAIR---it is so fun to read their dialogue and physical reactions to each other.  I am sooo looking forward to him giving her the ring!!

So, the danger is REAL and E, B and Jake know it now.  'Hope you enjoy your time away.

    Thanks for writing.   This is one of my very favorite stories!

ok bella does need more monitoring but those men are in for it if you think demanding it is going to work.  And if e tries to keep her from Esme, E will get his ears cuffed.

Wonderful chapter!  These two never get a down day do they?  Can't wait to see what happens next!  Thank you - Cheri

I left my review on ff, but wanted to tell you Happy Mother's Day!

Thanks for all the Sunday sex, Louise! These two could heat up the whole state of Alaska all by themselves. The act of cock worship was amazing. I can't wait to see what Isabella wrote in her journal about it. But what I really loved was the sex they had when Edward took off is robe. It was just instantaneous lust between them...so hot!

I loved the talk they had about Isabella's period. I thought it was so funny that a man like Edward, who has such an indepth knowledge of a woman's body, didn't know more than he did about that subject.

I was surprised when Isabella chose to end their time early. I'm sure we will find out why she did that.

Women and their tote bags, and men and their not understanding this! I loved how you added this bit of normalcy to their relationship. Great chapter, as always, Louise.

Love the chorus  and the echo...

Oh God, this is serious now. This is a really threat. I hope Bella nos understands that she must be very careful with her safety and respects Edward's limits. OK, it may be anoying to not be able to go out on her own, but she has a group of friends and with a little planning I'm sure it's not impossible! I hope Bella is more reasonable this time...

Hes yelling cause he is in love...its different when you are in love! Poor Edward, and really, poor Bella. Its not her fault but she is being punished by all the important men in her life lol. Have fun on the beach and drinking. I will be on the beach sunday (no drinking tho sigh)and then eating some steak...Yay

Amazing... He was so cute about the fruity peebles.  Then putting his foot down about the "G" word... I hope Bella doesn't fight him (them) too much.

As for the ring... how exciting! 

Where are Jessica and Mike?  Do James and /or Karen have something to do with there dissapearance?  So many questions; I can't wait for answers!

Happy Mother's Day!

I don't know how you do it, but each chapter gets better than the last one. This one had so many wonderful parts that I don't know where to start. First of all, I loved that Edward didn't let Isabella get away with the sighing even though they were at Emmett and Rosalie's house. I also loved how you let Alice get "outed" about her and Jasper's kink! So funny!

The way Edward handled the caning was pure genius! That is what I love so much about him. He thinks everything through so completely; and makes Isabella feel at ease enough to let her own feelings overcome her fear. You are so GOOD, Louise.

I can't wait to see what happpens next at this party; and why Edward left Isabella with Demetri. And of course, I am anxious to see what happens with Mike and Karen.

Great chater, Louise! Your always give me much more than I expect!

L - these last two chapters invovled no playtime, yet they were so intense.  Great job.  I usually don't agree with Edward but I did these last two chapters.  Edward is trying to keep her safe. 

I have no problem with the lockdown. I think that Edward should have had this conversation with Bella in private. It did not need to be sprung on her in front of the whole family. That was inconsiderate of Edward. Then when he tried to use his Dom voice on her in front of everyone, it was too much. Being on lockdown is a major life change for Bella and it should not have been a family discussion. She felt cornered. If Edward wanted backup all he had to do was get Charlie on the phone. Bella would not fight him. Bella was mad, but she was also embarressed. She doesn't like to be the center of attention and once again Edward threw her private matters into a family discussion. If he approached her calmly in private, telling her how scared he was for her safetly, it would have gone over much better I think with Bella. She loves him so much and she would do anything for him. He just needs to ask her the right way. He doesn't need to manipulate her.

I loved that Bella called Edward out for slipping in to his Dom mode.  They were not Playing.   Lockdown. I understand they are afraid for her safety.  She is having one of those it can never happen to me moments. I was glad that Jasoer was able to let her see where they were all coming from. .    She got scared as soon as her car over heated.  I was afraid when Demetri walked out.  So glad it was him.  I loved the comment about babysitting and the raise.  I think it would be cool and Edward would love it if Bella would surprise Edward with one of Demetri's paintings or statues.   I can see him loving that.     I think they are going to find that her car was tampered with.   Did Bella try on the ring that Edward had made for her??     When Edward found the cereal, I laughed. It's going to be fun to see if he lets her keep it.   Looking forward to the next update. 

Hmmm....So much going on in this chapter, but aside from the obvious, Demitri now knows her ring size and the type of ring that will suit her hand. 

Great story

Oh! yeh! loved that one, especially the end.

I was really worried for a minute... it can't be a coincidence that the car broke down. I am so happy she was able to wait for Edward with someone that she knew and trusted. 

I hope that Bella takes this seriously... especially with everyone telling it the right thing to do.  She should not be so selfish to put herself in danger. 

Thanks for the update!

Of course the first time Edward lets her go by herself she has car trouble. You scared me to death with that one. lol! I'm guessing the second ring is her engagement ring Edward is having Demetri design????

Loved that Jane reinterated that even she yells at Aro when the situation warrents. Have a great vacation!

Sounds like a really fun family day. Lots of good natured teasing and affections. I do love that Bella knocked Rose right out of that pity party and then Carlisle was able to snap Bella out of her freak out. Family gives you the reality check you need every now and again. And of course, Bella was victorious in the "Battle of the Bag." Love that Edward can never tease her about it again.

Awesome.

Cheers, Balti K

Hm, is that a redeeming comment trying to peak thru her opinionated view?

Jane is an observant creature. She is also very wise and confident in her understanding of what is required to blend their lifestyle within the norms if their family.

Demetri intrigues me.
Edward is just Edward. He and Bella both have a slight problem with knee jerk reactions. It's a learning curve for both.

Great update! The Fruity Pebbles made me crack up. Poor Bella is going to get it over breakfast cereal. :)

Oh, oh. I'm nervous for them both lol. Edward's timing might not be the best and I can understand Bella being upset.

Bella can't be that dumb not to know that she is in danger of a crazy person. She was updated on the latest information and she knows how protective Edward is toward her. It was only a couple of days ago when that occurred. Even her dad told her she has to be careful. Also Bella is suppose to notify Edward of all of her plans before she makes them. He can say yes or no to any of her plans at any time. He is the Dom. I will be so sad when this story is over. I love this family.

I'm so greatful for the update.  I've just found this story, and I love it!  I must say that I've been reading 50 Shades of Grey and I have a great suspicion that it originated as fanfic probably on this site - and the author changed the names.  I find myself wanting to review every chapter as I read it.  I mention this because I want to tell you that your story is better in every way than that one.  Your characters are deeper; your storyline is more complex;  your BDSM is better (much); you explain the emotions involved much more thoroughly; and finally the feelings evoked in the reader (me) are much more intense!  In conclusion, if she can do it, you can!  Go back, change these names, locations, etc., and submit this story to Amanda - TWCH publishing side - and try to make a go of it.  I really don't mean for you to try to ride the coattails of 50 Shades of Grey, but my God, girl, this story is heads and tails better that that!  Just my humble opinion - for all that's worth.

The verbal sparring is fun. 

Should we remember that she is gounded?  Or did we miss something... like that sigh... is that why?

I loved all the light hearted interaction and some of the adults behaving inappropriately... making the younguns uncomforatable. 

I'm glad Bella has learned some new things about herself trying to help Rose.  As always... I want more as soon as I've read the current chapter.

It was sooo Bella, to help Rose see the value of her own strength and how she's succeeded with her life, despite the past tragedy.   I also think "they are a great group of people"--the Cullen family.  They're so supportive, while also teasing each other in such humorous ways.   One of my favorite things, about this whole story is the humor!  The part about Edward and the Advil was cute---he does have a lot to learn about having one female constantly in his life.

Emmett missed a wonderful chance to rib Bella, after her remark to Mia about girls needing to keep their dresses down (especially around boys); he might tease her about it later.   Of course, he had already teased her some; also, he knows she can punch him again.  When the talk about baseball occurred (and there was so much mentioned about Bella distracting Edward), there was so much staring and smiling by him toward her---I almost expected him to spontaneously propose to her, right there, in front of his whole family.  He must know that she'll say YES, once she's sure he's really said it.

Just love this story.   Thanks so much for updating often.

Me thinks Bella is about to blow up at Edward, and i cant say i blame her. cant wait for the next  update, keep up the awesome work.

Ruh-Roh is right!!!! OMG Louise, dear we have needed a light and comical chattering chapter like this..  I love Didyme, can we keep her?!? She is a hoot! I love how she doesn't let Esme by with the avoidance of sexual talk... it was priceless... Question is Didyme a submissive too? Hell yes, with the full butter versus Margarine for the Hollandaise sauce, you go Jane....I will say hearing Didyme, Esme and Jame did make me think of Rose, Alice and Bella at the cabin....I could certainly see the parrellels between Rose and Bella's situations....with the Rents.....although Roses's mother needs her ass kicked and kicked hard...and when will Big Edward learn that always being prepared is not a bad thing... Sweet Jesus I was so happy someone needed the Advil....Holy crow now she knows the lockdown is coming... like Carlilse was preparing for earlier I fear lightening is getting ready to strike... and jolt the ever lov'n shit out of someone with that revealation.... hum..this line was perfect..."what do you mean my plans, WERE"..... using the past tense is enough to cause a few hairs to stand on end, right?!?!  Next chapter is going to be something... can't wait...   Laters BB  Kathy

I'm surprised and impressed that Bella took her own advise to not morn the the loss of something you never had. Wonderful idea, difficult to do sometimes.
The forshadowing you mentioned.....is it about the trial or does it have to do with Peggy's safety? Either situation may cause Bella to experience her own fears coming back.
I can't remember if Bella's house arrest is from the party or out of caution due to the problems with Newton, Jessica and James' knocked up ex-girlfriend (Victoria's little sister).
Edward should have used better timing. He is about to get his head ripped off. Respectful discourse may not be the first thing on Bella's mind right now.
Love the family fun and witty reparte.
Rose is right; she, Bella and Alice will be just like Didyme, Jane and Esme in twenty years.

Author's Response:

Ohhh... i really would love to share with you the forshadowing but alast i just can't do it, but you will find out soon enough...Bella's house arrest??? B&E had already had a discussion about her not being out alone...it was in front of Charlie and Bella sort of agreed...soooo ...yes Edward's timing was bad but she kept going on-and-on about her plans and i think Edward just couldn't listen to her anymore ...lol...

Hey Louise,

I have once again let the story go to give me more to read.

I know what I am about to say might upset some other readers and it in no ways means I still dont love your story, because I do love these two crazy people.

I know BDSM has a lot to do with this stroy but to me it seems that at the moment it is all it seems to be.  I want to press the fast forward button and find out what the hell is going to happen, the momentum of the story seems to have stopped and veered into a complete different direction, it seems to be about sex, sex, and more sex, and there is nothing wrong with that, but to me, it is draging this story out and not in a good way.

I am more upset that this is happening, because I do love this story, but I want to get into the meety again, I know she is learning, we get it.  We get that she has lessons that have not been covered, so get on with it.  I this stroy had good suspence going and now that seems to have died in the ass and it all about the playroom / club / BDSM, not even their vanilla life gets a look it.

There is more to your characters... well there was, that all seems to have gone by the way side.  Its turned into another "The Training" and that has been done so many times.  Yes it is different or should say was, but now it is like every other BDSM story.

I know this is not what you want to here, but for me it has got to the point of where I skim you chatper and only read the non sex parts... and that is a whole lot of skimming.

Sorry if this hurts your feeling, it is not ment to, as I said, I love these guys and I want to know what happens... even if it takes another 84 chatpers, but I really hope it does not.

Regards

Fiorella

L - the cock worship thing was hot.  Loved E's pov.  sometimes i need to be reminded that this love thing is new to him.

not interested in a dougie playdate. maybe to watch but not participate.

You provided some interesting foreshadowing.  thankl you for E not being mad about the hair.
