*grins* What a crazy night. Bella shared so much, but saved the best part for while she slept. I do hope their chat in the morning is even more fruitful than the one this night!! Now that Edward has a hint at what Bella's heart holds, I do hope they each are able to reveal years of supressed emotions to the other.

Seeing poorEdward physically ill at the thought of 'his' Bella being used by other Doms was very moving. He has kept his adoration for her a secret for so long (so he thinks!).  He has wanted to claim her as his own for so long and tonight was a first step. Last night, while incredibly hot beyond wildest imaginations, was without knowledge of who the other was.

Bless Edward for not listening to his dick. He did seem to recover remarkably well to the shock he suffered. Virgin? How would he have thought it.

Will be most anxious to see what the morning brings!!!!

The night is just FULL of surprises for Edward!! Yikes. He might just want to let her put her mouth back to use before his dick falls off.

Who would want to return to the 'real world' after such delights as they have shared??? All Bella needs to say is 'yes' and they need never fully return to reality. They have the power to create a new reality for themselves, together.

I love the morning time with Seth, even though it was cut short. Bella's visions of the children she and Edward might one day have was a pleasant addition. I loved how Edward appeared suddenly to 'save' her from Jacob's clutches.  Poor Sue, Leah is such a hateful shrew that she will not be missed, but Sue's dreams of the daughter she imagined are shattered once again.

I enjoyed the silliness of the spa afternoon with the girls. Then seeing them to try their best to set Bella at ease over her first weekend with her Master was the eppitome of how friends should be.

As expected, Bella was frazzled to begin her evening with her Master. The panic attack seemed so appropriate. He had the opportunity to soothe her then to begin again. And what a lovely time they had.

Now, wtf, you don't just spring a new dog on somewone!! My assumption is that Edward got Mojo a friend.  I will be most curious to see how the tiny terror accepts having cometition of the canine variety.  He has had enough of a time trying to train Edward after HIS sudden intrusion into their world. (Mojo's opinion, not mine!)

Aaaargh!!! Poor Edward. Sick psycho bitch has done something with his Bella!!! Could she have somehow orchestrated the ice/elevator mess???

*sigh* So glad she has asked him to be her weekend sub! That man's gonna need Mondays off to recoup from weekends like that.   yum.

They are each terribly enthralled with the other. I can see that it will be quite some time before either would dare to confess the depth of their feelings to the other. Must say I am looking forward to naked Edward day! (*sigh* if only...)

It shall be interesting to see how Isabella chooses to react to Edward's journal entry. I imangine it to be a touchy thing, merging the personal emotions with the D/s. However, as the saying goes: nothing ventured, nothing gained. I do hope they both gain from this admition. These two are well matched and have the potential to find great joy together that reaches far beyond the playroom.

Aaargh! Being lost in the moment really cost Edward this time. Shit. I do hope Bella decides to open up soon. Given she has the wrath of Charlotte to deal with if she doesn't, it will happen but the when is what is in question.

I am very pleased to see them developing the strong foundation that a lasting relationship needs. They are growing together and developing a stronger bond than just that of Dom and sub. They are very fortunate to have the guidance of Master Peter. He is very supportive of each of them and wants to see them happy. If that happiness is found in each other, even better.  I was happy to see them each choose to set aside their BDSM relationship in order to develop a deeper connection by dating and learning about each other as individuals.

It is good to see them find their normal. With the insanity that their lives have become, I can see just how much they need their D/s roles returned to them to help them each find their calm centers.

I do hope Bella doesn't over think Edward's statement that he would like her to one day be his wife. He needed to express this to her to show her the depth of his devotion to her.

Yaaay! They have a baby! Oh my, he proposed. Wonder how emotional, I just delivered our baby, I must look like hell Bella will react?

Aaaargh! I must say I am grateful Bella's tantrum was resolved so easily. I am perplexed as HELL by Edward's father.

I am thrilled to see these two start over! It is time for them to rediscover each other. So much has changed, yet so much is the same. They have grown as individuals but still love each other desperately.

I think I am amazed you are writing now given your loss. That is a difficult thing, I feel for you. Take time to mourn and return when it is time.

Aaaargggh!! Stupid, stupid man! TRUST YOUR WOMAN! The danger now is, will she consent to being your woman ever again? Idiot.

Bella's resolve is crumbling. Edward is being a good man, showing her his love without smothering or pushing. Perhaps a day with his mother and sisters will help nudge things along.

What a dramatic mess for the hormonal one! It is good that she learned how her father had been paying more than she ever thought. While she does need to take things slowly, it seems she is willing to start over with Edward. He deserves another chance with her.

Very pleased to see Edward FINALLY claim Bella. It certainly will be interesting seeing how the rest works out.

You made me cry! Not just shed a couple tears, you actually made me cry. The hospital scene with Billy was so sad. His pending death would have made me weepy, but having him know Sarah, Jacob and Charlie were there waiting was more than I could withstand.

Jasper's secret will really remain just that, won't it? Guess it is one of those 'I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you' things. Making Edward (and me) really wonder though!

So glad they were able to switch the ring. No way could she wear it after everything that happened, even if Renee hadn't died wearing it! Glad to see Jessica is moving on with her life.

I saw the surprise party just moments before they walked through the door. Good thing the crowd reacted whan they did or else they'd have had quite a show.

I really liked the build up to Bella’s first pregnancy. That Alice was pregnant too was a bonus. Rose and Emmett’s adoption was icing on the cake.

The time progression was very nicely done. I was pleased to see the closure among so many of the characters, Aro, Mike, Chelsea and all the others seemed to find acceptance and their happily ever afters.

I was pleased to see the development between Ant and Lily. His behaviour the first day of school only grew as they matured. Seems the tree house concerns were well founded if each set of parents utilized it for nefarious purposes!

I shall truly miss these characters. It has been a marvelous tale.

Incredibly fantastic tale well told. This has been a beautiful journey. They all will be missed.

Hateful. Vile. Reprehensible. Toxic. She may have given birth, but that woman certainly is no mother. What an awful person. As horrible as it was for her to see, I am glad Bella witnessed the horror show for herself. Just wish it was before any money left her possession. Certainly the money was the only reason Renee was there at all.

We still have the random issue of her perfume and the outdoor survival classes.  Something else is up with that crazy woman. She is devious and manipulative, traits of many prison inmates.

Bella certainly has been welcomed into the fold. I look forward to her meeting Edward - er - Alice's parents. I guess that they will think similarly to Alice toward Bella.

Hehehe! What are the chances that the scene in Alice's office was orchistrated byt the girls??

Rose really set Bella up for an incredible opportunity. Edward's arrival back home couldn't have been any more perfect! Then his eavesdropping on the girls really was an eye opener for him. I wonder if Alice knew he was listening?

I bet if Bella makes herself go on a date with Mike, she ends up miserable pining for Edward. Edward who know is mentally referring to Bella as 'his'... very interesting development!

A couple days of true reflection and healing for Edward. Time to move forward. A night of drinking and dancing, and one HELL of a hot kiss!

Hmmmm. A month? The man is crazy! Incredibly sweet, but CRAZY!! Come on, he just about busts out of his pants any time she is near, and she's waking up panting over dreams of HIM. And to bet Alice? The man HAS to be nuts.

Renee is one crazy nut case! I've begun to suspect Phil divorced her crazy ass. Otherwise, why would she be away from him for so long?

I am happy the visit with Billy went so well. It must have been difficult for him these past months, losing his only son and his best friend. When Bella left, that had to take another piece of his heart too.

I like that Bella is going to give the house she shared with Jake to Jared.  It seems the perfect thing to do.

At last, the lovers have had their moment!! Alice might need special equipment to seperate the two of them long enough to work. Course, it would seem the same for her when Jasper's in town...

What a sexy chapter! Waking up with a VERY 'awake' Edward, naughtiness while swimming, and the car fantasy fulfilled!!

Kinda feel a little bit sorry for Leah; pining all this time for the life she thought Bella had... Guess there is a lesson in that. Quil is just a dumbass!

Yikes, adrenalin all around; voluntarily by clif jumping then a hasty retreat from a bear. Oh my!

Ooooh, just what was Edward about to say before Alice appeared??

The men are all jewelry shopping freaks!! I ADORED the Bilbo Baggins reference! Having Edward and Jasper meet at Tiffany's was a hoot. I loved how Jasper cut off Edward's questions with raunchy references he knew would shut the man down.

Go Bella. Just awesome how she reclaimed her man at the car show.

While his rant was creepy, I think Jared was drunk and depressed. While he surely has had dark thoughts, I like to think he really doesn't feel as poorly toward Bella as his voicemail makes out. (I hope)

So many suspects removed from Jasper's critical list! How wonderfully easy it was for Bella to make nice with Jessica. Aro, well, he is a special case; spoiled and expecting any and everything he wants to be presented handily to him. Tanya seems a bitter woman who likes playing games but not having the tables turned.

I love the idea of a Christmas wedding for them. My question now is, how long an engagement do they want? Alice and Jasper definitely do things their way, don't they? Edward needs to bleach his brain from THAT image. Wonder which is worse, that one, or what he heard from his parents hotel room?

Darn cliffy! At the same time, I shall be releived to have this madness behind them. Once Edwar wakes and realizes his Bella is missing, we can get on with her rescue. I am not sure that whatever is about to happen will exceed the stress of imagining all manner of things such as they all have been doing.

Dear heavens. Edward might just come to adore those damn doves after all!

Oh my. Do wonder just what Jasper has in his wallet!! So, who is injured and how badly?? Think Charlie and Jacob had their own justice delivered from above? Yikes.

Despite the violent assault, thank heavens Emmett appeared before they had time to violate her further.

Wow! Zorro is NAUGHTY. Yum. How lovely.

Perhaps THE hottest o/s Jasward EVER!! Beautiful piece. (greedy thing that I am, would love to read more if written...)

Sweet, fluffy goodness!

Hmmmm. Very interesting progression.

Waaaahhh! How terrible! My mind keeps asking if Alice was merely negligent or was she culpable?

Very glad Carlisle 'happened' to meet up with Bella in the park. Even more pleased he has accepted that she IS his mate. With that in mind, I wonder how he will handle the next two weeks?

Very nicely done!

*Grins* Awesome. Fun fic.

What a superb story! Only took me maybe ten days or or so to read start to finish. Absolutely loved it. *BIG smiles* Thanks for such a wonderful distraction.

BEAUTIFUL

Wow. Learning her story will take amazing skill and finesse.

Glad to see a mature, well thought out response from Em rather than. the explosive reaction Edward feared.

Author's Response:

thanks!

Hmm. Mr Cullen certainly is an interesting puzzle.

Yup, still feels like he is grooming her in some way. ...and I don't mean like in her hair!

Really enjoying watching Edward flirt his way into Bella's heart.

I am glad she admitted to searching out information on him. I would have hated to see her resort to snooping to appease her curiosity.

A fun weekend that ended quite nicely!
