Oh damn, Jacob, right?

Sounds a little..I don't know..I mean Edward keeps saying that what he feels for Bella is MORE then he's ever felt before.  He tries to relive himself, he fantastizes about Rosalie, then Alice, but doesn't get his release until he thinks of Bella and then says that's the most he's ever felt again.  He says this is the happiest he's ever felt..yet says right at the end that he's going to try and make her feel AS loved and wanted as he already feels for Rosalie and Alice?  Is that not a step down from what he already claims he's feeling?  Ok, I know Edward is special...but seriously...being Bella and doing the math, plus knowing how selfish and demanding Rosalie is, what's she going to get?  2:00pm on Wednesday afternoons to 3:00pm?

Can anyone live like that?  Can anyone go into a relationship like that with Rosalie thinking..."I'm the first wife, I always come first!"....I can't see where Edward is going to fit her in without her ending up crushed with her self esteem ground to a nub.

Umm....Sorry, but as far as I'm concered, Carlisle is more then just a Wuss, he doesn't even deserve respect, and doesn't deserve Esme for how he feels towards Tanya after Tanya effectively blackmailed Esme into giving her all that money, losing her home and continues to blackmail.  I can't believe he's secretly in love and lust with Tanya after damaging the woman he supposedly loves.  He'a a total wasteoid and creep!  If it was just the fear of her hurting Esme that keeps his mouth shut then hey I could have somehow forgiven him,  but this other bit?  No way!!  I hope you don't write about this total loser again.

I can't believe that Bella would be the type of woman to use sex as a weapon after all her whinning about Edward not giving in.  Pretty disgusting actually, withholding affection is so immature and unloving.  So where's Tanya when you need her huh?  I think Bella needs a good dose of reality.

I am enjoying this story, I've been reading it most of the weekend between interuptions.  I understand the problems, legal and otherwise that Edward was having with Tanya and appreciated your detail.  I think Bella gives great advice.  That being said, I see the main topic that keeps at the forefront of this story is the age differece and people's reaction to it.  Now THAT I do not understand.  I can understand the fact that he was her headmaster at school and that this actually started before the end of the term being the huge faux pas.  That would make a lot of people uncomfortable.   But you described Edward as handsome, hot.  Unless you are not telling the truth about his looks and he looks much older then his age, haggered and mid to late 40's I can't see where a man in his mid to late 30's and a woman of 20-21 (at the age they started to 'come out') would turn anyone's head.

Since when is a man of 35, 36, 37 an 'old man'???  He is years away from middle-aged at this point.  I have been confused since the beginning of this story for this reason but the last few chapters with Charlie, the Cullens, Rose and Alice's reactions have blown me away!  Men don't often show their age at all during their 30's and even early 40's, some could easily pass for mid to late 20's.  I actually turned and looked at my husband and asked him point blank if a man he knew to be in his late 30's walked in with a woman of 21 on his arm if people would even turn their heads or question it, and he immediately said "Are you kidding?  NO, it happens all the time, nobody would say a thing."  I'm not saying this just to nit pick, I'm saying this out of knowledge, my Dad was 13 years older then my mother, they looked like a perfect match on their wedding day and were married 52 years before my Dad's untimely death.  My great Grandfather had 10 children when he lost his wife, he hired a live in nanny, (turn of the 20th century, around 1900).  the live in Nanny was 15 years old, 2 years later he married her and they had 8 more children and were married until his death.  I know..it happened like that a lot years ago, but still, no one even turned their heads.  Ok, I'm rambling here, but seriously, if people on the west coast are that tight assed and judgemental I'm so damn glad I leve on the east coast...eeeesh!

I'm loving this!  Although I don't know how Alice could ring Edward in 1986, his portable phone would be much too large to carry around in his pocket..:)  Alas, I did enjoy the Brad Pitt movie a lot so am enjoying this, it actually makes more sence then Twilight, considering their age difference, I am a mother of a formally 17 year old girl, so what a 100+ year old Vampire would see in her..I just dunno..;)

Hi again..ok, this is where I picked it up...the 'Alice Ring me bit'  chapter 6

I wasn't sure what to do, and I was surprised that Alice hadn't rang me to let me know what was going to happen, but I couldn't blame this on Alice. I wasn't sure whether or not to tell her the truth, but before I had a chance to decide she was sitting herself next to me and looking at me expectantly

I'm surprised that Edward didn't have a comeback there..He's nothing like a regular Edward, I didn't see much posessiveness there except his feeling about punching Jake that one time.  I don't know if he'd be willing to sit around for 4 weeks while knowing that Bella is still doing Jake while his dick healed...

He's still doing sessions with her even though she's not allowed to orgasm?  I'm still having problems seeing the love, I see possession though.  That magic marker could last for quite a while and if it's still pretty strong at this point it'll take another week to wear off.  That was not well thought out 'if' he really loved her.  Youd' think he'd help her out with that, but now with the tattoo healing, she'll have less chance to help it along.    I'd start feeling resentful waiting through this while we still had seesions and watching him release like nothing has changed.  I am still not convinced at all that he's feeling all that bad about this.  Oh yeah...her look was heart wrenching so I held her to let her know I love her...big fucking deal buddy..that wouldn't make me feel you love me, I'd take that as condescending.

Sounds reasonable.  However, as I asked in your extras, since Tanya also signed this type of a contract can she assume that even though this contract has been terminated that the friendship/relationship/lover aspect still be alive?  Or is Bella's contract different from the one Tanya signed?  Just curious as Tanya is having Alice make her an outfit hoping that Edward will unwrap her and she's nosing around the club asking questions.  Sounds like she's going to be a big problem when she meets Bella.

Edward does seem to want this, he's going quite fast and has seen her every day since they met.   It's not surprising that he's adding the 'boyfriend' extra time into this scenerio.  I think Bella will need this since she has major trust issues.  Now if James stays in Forks ( I worry about all this pushing by Jake , Leah and family about Charlie's birthday, Good Lord, you'd think they'd understand better and make a trip to her for the celebration, they are as annoying as F*ck about this..), and Tanya stay out of the mix, this will be good for both of them and I can see them ending up like Emmett/Rose and Jasper/Alice.  But I guess a story has to have drama..*sigh*

No wonder Irena wanted to Switch, Edward needs a spanking..:)  He's a little devil, isn't he?  So, can you send him over here anytime soon?

I can understand Emmett just walking in, maybe in some families, but my brother doesn't have a key to my house, nor do I his.  But different strokes for different folks. I did have issue with his actions though, since he's a part of the lifestyle he should have realised after he saw the collar that this was their first 'weekend' so Bella would just be getting used to this and might be uncomfortable, Edward realised she was instantly.  That being said, he should have taken their feelings and privacy into account and made the visit short and sweet, not stick around for coffee and breakfast.  That was really rude.   Later in their relationship when she knew the family better would be different.  Just saying..

I was glad Bella set Emmett straight, about time someone did.  I was amused at how often Edward got 'pissed'.  He really doesn't like to share does he?  I do find this family a little intrusive, sorry.  The relationship is so new and yet they're constantly intruding on any alone time.  Alice bugs me a tad also, not so much Rose.

Well you keep leaving us "eggs", like the speeding car, the white van...Hummm(n)..

Ok, I have to go back and read, I'm usually pretty good with little details, but I recall Alex, but I don't know if it's from a previous chapter or all the other FanFics that feature Alex, there is a Jane in this story..:)

So Irena thinks Bella is going to autioned?  Then why should she mention her previous relationship with Edward?  That makes no sense unless she trying make Bella insucure for some odd reason, perhaps for Tanya, but that doesn't make sense either. 

I did not like the guilt trips, not at all.   I think he was too harsh.  Yes, he was worried and angry, I understand that much.   However there must be a better way to get his point across then shoving himself in her mouth for his pleasure and then pulling out to demean her with that humiliating comment.   I think at this point if I were in her shoes no matter how much I loved him or care for him I would have taken Seth and left for the weekend.  Punishing is one thing, but him taking his pleasure then pretty much slapping her across the face shows a tremendous lack of respect and my respect for him would have dropped dramatically.  I don't think I'll really believe too much of what he says from his POV next chapter, that was simply nasty.

Yeah...maybe a little mad at Edward, but worse at Bella.  Because of the way I would have reacted, I would not have seen any love there.  None of that was loving.  She admits it was all animalistic/lust.  So how could she see any of that as loving?  Especially after being barked at.  If he's going to hand out punishment like that and claim it hurts him, then he should not expect pleasure either, that's just rubbing her face in it and that is NOT LOVING.

I've read  a lot of BSDM tuff in fanficion and to be honest?  This is the first Edward who really pisses me off at least once a chapter.  There seems to be something missing which makes me doubt his love for Bella.  Right at the beginning of this chapter I was sincerely annoyed when he mentioned that if she'd been allowed to soak that the writting would be gone by now and that punishment would be over, he blamed the tattoo which he made sure she got right after he put the writting on her foot.  He claimed that he hated that writing was still there and she still couldn't achieve orgasm which he also claimed it punished him as well and stopped him doing the things he wanted, but if that was the case, why couldn't he have suggested a foot soak or two, you don't need a whole tub to soak your damn foot!!  I sense a sadistic streak in Edward and a whole lot of selfishness.  So again..still doubting the love in a major way.  Plus I'm still upset he set up this weekend so new into their relationship  he should have waited to get several weekends under their belt before subjecting her to a disaproving Alice and Jasper for a whole weekend.  She's feeling unworthy enough and obviously still pretty insecure and I don't think it'll take too much before he has her destroyed once again.  Or maybe that's what he's counting on, he seems to enjoy make her cry a LOT.

And Bella's foot still hasn't fadded...ugh

So what's Edward 'waiting for'....cause he sure and heck is 'waiting for something'.  Perhaps he just found it?

So, since Tanya signed such a contract, can she still assume that she can be Edward's lover too?  Just wondering.

I think he was pleasently surprised.  I believe she gave more then he expected.

Yes I like it, sounds very interesting!  I await your updates.  :)

Interesting, I am surprised that he actually punished her after they both lost their virginity, I understand that it comes hand in hand with the lifestyle, and he felt he had to, but still.  He's also already talking about the end of the arrangement.  I didn't think he'd be 'there' after only 3 meetings. 

Absolutely perfect, are you going to drop the other shoe any time soon?  *gasp*

Oh well, this is just great, his family seem to prefer Kate, Bella is going to feel so insecure and how the Hell is Edward going o get out of this?  "You've come back to me"...I hate this.

My Gawd, he's so cute I want to wrap him up in a huge red bow and drag him home!!

Well it's about time, give the guy a chance Bella, he'll forgive yo for Afica...whatever happened there. 

HUmmm(n)....guess Edward is going to have a lot on his hands..

Anyone else seeing a crazy ass Tanya pulling  a Glen Close?  Bella should have left Mojo in NYC..nah...you wouldn't do that would ya?    (Definately NOT trying to give you ideas here..no Mame!

Blue

This story has changed, at the beginning, everyone, Alice and even Bella said that Edward would always be first and he'd never lose her to anyone else, the love she had for Edward would always be stronger then for anyone else.  I have no idea where you are going with this, but again, I feel that you are doing to Edward what SM did, pull it away from him.  Make him second, lessen his part in the story and in the love affair.    So I ask you, what is your beef with Edward?  You must have one, he's being shoved to the side after you stated he'd always be number 1 in Bella's heart..that is not so, now he shares equal status with Jasper and frankly over the last few chapters, he's definately second fiddle to Jasper.

Can't take it huh?  Ok, last review you ever get from me.  If you don't want your readers to 'think', then don't ask for reviews.

Doesn't sound like Edward is going to last very long in this job, I guess it was easier before because he didn't really love Lauren, but Hell, being apart when you're in love is a nightmare.

Great, they finally got that out!  I think Charlie was out of line, it was Bella's job t tell her parents, not Edward's.  He did what he could, Charlie shouldn't have sent him on that guilt trip. 

I enjoy part of the story, the Edward bashing is really repulsive though, even after he made amends.  You are almost as bad as SM.  I don't think you could belittle him any more then you already have, but then again....Bella was never good enough for him anyway, she deserves Alice's seconds..:)

Just get rid of her, she doesn't know how to play nice..Edward doesn't want her anyway, never did. 

The more I get to know Carlisle the more I think he was the one who should have been shot.  He was the one who picked Tanya for Edward in the first place and is so fricken controling.  Anyhow..the story is interesting, but I really dislike the whole lifestyle and can't really see any merit in it.   It no wonder they end up with James' and Tanyas'...

There is always the speech you plan to say, the speech you give, and the speech you think of later that you should have given.  Always three of them, never just the two.

I don't agree with some, no, I don't think she should have stayed 'pissed' at all.  You only stay pissed if you don't mind him leaving and can live with that.  If you love someone, you have to know when to put yourself second and put the relationship first.

Stubborn isn't the right word here, pig-heaed-BITCH..yeah...I think that about fits.  But you know what?  After the last few chapters I'm starting to hope Edward finds himself someone with a lot more maturity then this dipshit.

Ummmm...so did they become Prom Queen and King?  I still think she was being a ridiculous Bitch and shouldn't have broken off with him especially after he confessed his true feelings, that was far more cruel then what he had done, and she already accepted to go to Prom with him, breaking that date so close to the event after saying that she wanted to start all over again was lunacy.  Besides, you can't start over from day one after all the steps they've been through, you're killing the fire that you've already built up and it'll never be as intense.  Edward should have gone running, I mean if she can't stick around to work out their problems and dumps him over such a minor offence she's setting up a pattern where she'll feel in control of the relationship from the start, and any relationship that isn't at least 50-50 is doomed.    Right, keep him scared to really speak his mind, never make a mistake and in fear of her walking over any little thing.  Disasterous. 

Well Damn...I hate Angst...think I'll skip tomorrow..

Not sure who's using who here, sounds like a tie..But I have a feeling Edward is falling.

OOps!!!   That's a biggy!  He forgot??

I am enjoying this story, although I am rather disappointed with this new 6 year old pissy Bella.  Edward has never done anything to her at all, yet everytime she gets a little miffed (at things a 6 year old would get miffed at, I might add) she throws a fit and strikes out at him.   I dunno, but my interpretation of loving someone is showing that person respect, the stuff she does in relatiation to a little teasing shows no respect at all.    I hope she grows up and fast, her antics are really annoying.

Oh Boo Hiss!

Very well done!  It held me captive until the end.   Great one-shot..wsh it was longer.

I meant to mention this before, but refering to the comment about Bella and Jacob having O Possitive blood and the baby having AB Negative as a sign that the baby wasn't Jacob's. That is no sign at all. My husband and I both have A Possitive, our Daughter is O Negative and there is no doubt in my mind who her father is, absolutely no doubt, I never cheated on my husband. I asked the doctors about it and was told that it happens, and is not uncommon, too many things determine blood type.

Author's Response:

That's true, but Bella already knew about the baby's paternity, and she knew it wasnt Jacob's she used it as the launching point to tell him, not knowing he already knew.

I don't normally like Carlisle or Jasper combinations, just a personal thing because I don't find the actors that play them personally attractive.  Sorry, I'm totally Team Edward..:)  Which is the only compaint about this story...Edward gay????!!  Ok...guess you'd have to do that because once she'd see Edward and if he were straight..?  Well Carlisle and Jasper would be toast..ha!

Oh yeah!  Lots of potential.  :)

I should go to more weddings! 

Love those two...ok, love all of them, but Carlisle and Esme..hehehe...Love creeping out my daughter!
