It was just a long weekend in Vegas, so how did eighteen year old high school senior Bella Swan end up married to thirty one year old movie exec, Edward Cullen? This is the story of their awkward life. 

After Isabella's transformation into a vampire, her life changed as well. Edward changed and her whole world changed. Sweet Edward is no more and Bella has a potty mouth. Sit back and enjoy the ride between Bella and Edward. This is a BDSM story, if that offends you, don't read it. You have been warned, there are also a lot of lemons. E & B will have a HEA.

AH/Canon couples.  NC-17 for a reason (I mean, it’s me for crap’s sakes!).  Language (again, it’s me).  Shifting perspectives, and unusual twists.  Who doesn’t love a beach getaway?

A heartbreaking tail of Edward and Bella in foster care. How do you become a "normal" person after being abused in every way, brainwashed, and manipulated. can they make it life together or will it rip them apart?

 ***NOW COMPLETE***

Bella Swan had led a very ordinary life.  She'd married her college boyfriend only to be betrayed when he left her for another girl.  After the death of her father, she pulled out a map and threw a dart.  The implications of that one simple act would surprise her beyond her belief.  She found a home...she found a job...could she find love again after surviving a cheating husband?  Only time will tell.  What secrets will the beautiful stranger she meets have and how will she deal with them? 

AH/OOC.  Canon pairings, with twists.  NC-17 for dirty language, a smattering of BDSM, and the usual lemony goodness.  If you wouldn't read it with your mother standing over your shoulder, you shouldn't be reading it at all!

“We found her Chief Swan, she’s ALIVE! We found Isabella!" Alive? She had really survived the last tens years?

They said I was going home but where was home now?

In an alternate all human universe, where society reached modern times with the equivalent to an Ancient Roman appearance and level of technology, sexual pleasure is paramount; the Cullens are a breed apart: sexual vegetarians, if you will. 

Bella is an "Innocent" and so off limits for deeper sexual gratification, a role she gladly embraces, taking pleasure only in giving to those around her. 

That is until she meets Edward.  Suddenly her Father's insistence on her remaining an Innocent and Aro's desires to keep her for himself have become an unwelcome burden to her life.  How will Bella and Edward survive their desire to be together when it is forbidden?

This story is a thinly disguised excuse for steamy lemons in the vein of a Roman orgy, yet there is also a deeper story about selfless giving and how love might just be worth waiting for...and fighting for.
