Really enjoying your story so far!  I noticed a major inconsistency between this chapter and 16, regarding Edward's housekeepers - the  relevant chunks are below.

Edward’s housekeeper, Maggie Paxton and her husband Reggie had worked for the Cullen’s for a long time.  They were overjoyed when Edward had offered them the position as his housekeeper and groundskeeper/security when he had built this house.  They lived in a lovely coach house apartment above the garages. This afforded them and Edward total privacy and space and yet they were close enough to be on hand when needed.

Edward explained that Reggie was a retired police officer and he and his wife Sarah had worked on his parents Estate, with Reggie being in charge of their security and Sarah running the kitchen.  When Edward had built his home, they were looking for something less demanding than a busy Wine Estate and Edward had offered them the job of looking after his home. He had built them a cottage at the end of his property, so that they would have privacy, and they in turn had looked after his home and grounds.  It was an arrangement that suited them all very well.

I just found your story and read it and the outtakes up to this point over the last few days.  I'm really enjoying it so far!  I realise you have a beta but I wanted to point out that there are still a lot of errors, especially with similar sounding words and homophones (ie. feint/faint, college/collage, fraise/phrase, parameter/perimeter, lose/loose, your/you're, Nomad/Damon, etc.).  It really detracts from the story, which has an awesome plot, and may lose you some readers.

In any case - I'm loving the story and can't wait to read more!

Glad to see you're back - I had almost forgotten about this story!  It'll be interesting to get a bit more insight into Bella and her background.  Hopefully Edward will clean up his act and stop being such a stalker soon - his behaviour earlier in the story was more creepy than dominant!

I'm thinking she hit Jasper.  Glad to see you're back - I love this story!  Your Edward borders on creepy, stalker behaviour but something about him pulls me in.  I hope you update again soon.

Loved the outtake!  Esme & Carlisle are wonderfully done in your story and I'll take as many peeks into their life as you'll write!

thank you so much - I love writing them!

Loved this lesson for Isabella - I saw it coming as soon as the evening started and Edward told her she could come as often as she liked. 

I'm surprised that rape would have been brought up as an issue though.  I think Isabella was so deep in subspace it would have been difficult for her to safeword but I doubt it would have been the penetrative sex with Edward that was the issue.  If she had safeworded it would likely have been over her own painful orgasms or maybe the humiliation in the morning.  She might not have enjoyed the sex or blowjob but it certainly doesn't seem like something she would have safeworded over.  Maybe some readers were feeling like the forced orgasms were rape?

Loving your story so far.  I've noticed a couple of times in the last two chapters that you use the word 'withering' when it doesn't seem to make sense.  Did you maybe mean 'writhing'?  I know you have a beta but there still seem to be a fair few typos and small errors.

Back on to the love though - the plot is awesome!



Author's Response:

Sorry about typos - we are getting better..this is M's first story too ...so if you could just bare with us, maybe by the end of the story it will be perfect ...lol  ...thanks for reading ..lml

Wow!  I wasn't a fan of Esme after the outtake but I think I like Alice even less!  I'm hoping those are just pregnancy hormones talking...



Author's Response:

The Cullen women are -- not outwardly snobby, but it lies underneath. There is a supiority complex they kind of have. Esme's grandmother would call it 'good breading' and 'proper etiquette"  Don't be mad at them though, it was ingrained into Esme by her grandmother and like any prejudice it takes time (generations) for those ideas to widdle away....
