Sequel to Fighting for Love: Edward and Bella are at UCLA. On their own for the first time, will they be able to handle everything that is thrown at them? Will their past come back to haunt them? Canon coupling, NC-17 and AH.

Meet Masen.

He is not just any thug growing up in a family of organized crime. He is a man who has changed the way families do business.

Masen is in line to be the next "Boss" for his well connected family, and in one night there is a massacre and all his rivals and their families are wiped out leaving no one left behind. The authorities have no clues as to who, why or how someone could pull off a mass murder of this scale. 

Meet Charlie.

A soldier turned businessman who will stop at nothing to give his little girl whatever her heart desires, and what she wants is something no mafia family has ever been able to stake a claim on...the city of Angels.  

Dr. Edward Masen is in for a surprise when his best friend and fellow colleague Dr. Carlisle Cullen invites him out to spend an evening with him at an exclusive member's only club. What Edward does not know, is that the club caters to a select few who share in a unique fetish within a certain lifestyle choice. He meets a brave little girl named Bella Swan who is more than happy to pull him into her world and introduce him to the wonderful lifestyle of Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism.

It is a story about two consenting adults who venture into the relationship of a Dominant Daddy/little girl.  

If you do not fully understand the dynamics of this type of lifestyle I can only inform you that this story has nothing to do with incest, nor are the characters role playing / age playing in any way. It is a relationship where they practice total power exchange in and out of the bedroom on a 24/7 basis.  

If any of what you have read so far freaks you out in any way, then I must warn you now...this story may not be for you.

Edward Cullen is a probation officer. He is used to handling some of the toughest hardened criminals out there. That is until he meets his new proby...Isabella Swan.

Prompt: #46: Pleasure/Pain. E/B. Bella is tiny. Like, 5ft tall on a good day. Edward is at least 6'2. The height difference is a turn on for them both. She loves looking up at her big strong man. He loves protecting his little girl. Problem is, Bella's tiny everywhere. Edward has trouble fitting inside her. Maybe there are a few tears. It hurts so good.

What happens when Bella dials the wrong number one night and instead of getting her Mom she gets an erotic radio station's hotline? "Hello, this is Edward speaking, tell us your deepest fantasies or real life sexy stories."
