Yippee finally a grown up conversation and Bella putting her foot down.

Having said that it's really starting to bother me that Edward only listens to an opposing argument when it comes to Garrett or Jasper, now I understand that as Bella's dom he has the "final" say but when ever Bella tries to talk to him without anyone else sticking their oar in he is immediately dissmissive of her feelings, we had it at the first party and to an extent here. It doesn't make for a good Dom/sub relationship. It's lucky that Bella has her journal but she should be able to talk to her Dom and not be dimissed just because he doesn't like that he is being critized that makes for a bad Dom.

Edward also tends to let his dom side show during their "normal" realtionship and  the both of them really need to seperate the two things, if Bella doesn't want to drink a smoothie when she isn't wearing her collar that is her business Edward shouldn't be going to Dom mode and overruling her, they aren't in a 24hr relationship and for Edward to continue to try and "control" her actions to suit what he wants outside of their collared relationship is damaging to both of their duel realtionships. The pair of them have two different types of relationship and they need to figure out how to balance the two so they co-exist.

I have to say I will be slightly disappointed if Bella allows herself to be collared and goes to the party as Edward's sub, yes Bella broke Edward's trust but Edward's breach of trust was far more damaging to both of their relationships and I really think they need to work together to repair the damage that has been inflicted before Bella trust's Edward again. I really think that with everything that has happened in such a short space of time the best thing they can do is take a step back and repair their relationship before they add extra dimensions to it it will make them a stronger unit before they go back into the playroom because at the moment their relationship is like a house of cards.

I am really looking forward to the therapy sessions I think it will do them both the world of good steps forward only people!

This is my first ever review yeah me :-)

Okay so Bella completely spazzed but it wasn't without provocation, Edward allowing other women to kiss him on the lips is just plain disrespectful to his submissive nevermind his girlfriend (because although Edward is Bella's dom they are also in a monogomous relationship) . As for Edward allowing another submissive to kneel in front of him in front of a play party well that just goes beyond being disrespectful it was embarrasing and humilating for Bella the two things that Edward said he wouldn't do to her and that's before he engaged in a sexual act with Bella in front of another woman major fail on his part. Yes Bella was wrong  to fly of the handle she should have safeworded but Bella put's Edward's needs before her own even when it's too her detriment a fault she must sort out if they are to continue having a dom/sub relationship even so Edward completely failed in his role as a dom to respect his sub, does Bella deserve a punishment for dis-obeying the rules, yes of course she does but so does Edward. Edward would shit a brick if Bella behaved the way he did and Bella needs to point that out to him (in a respectful way). I'm far more pissed of at Edward that Bella at the moment I hope Jazz intervenes and tears strips off of Edward.

okay I have some pretty mixed feeling on this, Bella got her punishement and dealt with it brilliantly but I just feel that Edward got away with his actions and i'm really really disapointed that he thinks his actions are okay. It's good that Bella is getting more training but I would really have loved to have seen Bella remove her collar and get her training from someone other that Edward like Alice did, I still think Edward massively disrespected Bella.

But I love your writing and am still holding out hope that either Jasper or Alice kicks his arse.

Maybe i don't understand, as her Dom, her first Dom Edward promised to teach her and guide her through their Dom/sub realtionship which has been rocky at best even he has admitted that he doesn't really know what he is doing, yes he had a somewhat relaxed conversation before the play party and he didn't push to ask the questions she should have asked but Edward as her Dom knows that Bella has low self esteem and he knew that they were going into a situation that would bring those fears to the fore front of her mind, he should as her Dom have prepared her properly for their first play party and he didn't do that, he should be punishing her properly he's not doing so and as much as he commented on the blurry line btween sub/girlfiend he is equally as guilty and he knows it. I just feel that Bella faults were righted and she is working on her part to become a good sub but Edward isn't being held accountable for his faults.

Don't get me wrong I love this story and am enjoying the journey you're taking us and can't wait to see where they go next!

OOh I loved this chapter, esp Edward's conversation with Garrett and his realization that he too was in the wrong, a wake up call he needed. Loved the apology to Bella and the truth or dare. Really enjoyed this chapter.

Can't wait to read more!

First off, go Carlisle I hope his rips his son a new one, someone needs to.

I can see why Esme was pissed but there were better ways for her to handle the situation, re-enforcing Edward's abandonment was harsh, and potentially damaging to their relationship.

Bella, well she cocked up no doubt but she was caught between a rock and a hard place. It wasn't Bella's place to confess Alice's sins for her and Alice should never have put her in that situation. Did Bella deserve "punishment" that's a tough one, did she deserve the punishment she got no. What Bella did was fair she told Alice she had to confess and she would not keep her secret for her and gave Alice a chance to come clean I wouldn't have done anything different and doubt many other people would either.

What Edward did was nothing short of emotional abuse and i'm quite sickened by him at the moment he knew full well that Bella has abandonment issues, low self-esteem and has just gone through a traumatic experience, and yet he choses to abandon his girlfriend and his sub with no word leaving her to face the paps with no thought and without caring about the ramifications. How can he expect Bella to put her trust in him when he pulls a stunt like this, infact Bella shouldn't trust him after this it was a huge betrayal of Bella's trust and I hope this will be adressed in the next chapter. He knew full well that Bella had a nightmare about him abandoning her and deliberately chose to make that nightmare come true and that is beyond cruel.

I hope Bella thinks long and hard before she allows Edward to collar again because in all of this fuckery it is Edward that has done the most damage to their sub/dom relationship. Bella is an inexperienced sub and as such is expected to make mistakes but Edward is an experienced Dom and should know better his subs well being should come first and foremost.

For every step forward they take they take 10 steps back.

I can't wait to see the next chapter and how they're going to resolve this and if Edward is going to pull his head out of his arse and realise how much of a thoughtless twat he can be!

In just how many ways does Carlisle rock, please tell me you'll think about doing a C/B fic one day. (esme tends to piss me off)

Slightly disappointed Bella let Edward collar her simply because he broke her trust in the cruelest of ways and Bella giving her trust straight back to Edward , IDK it just doesn't sit right with me. However maybe the little voice inside Edward's head will punish him more than refusing to let him collar Bella could, does that make sense?

Having said that the party was excellent, I loved that Edward was more of a wreck than Bella, and how beautifully Bella coped. Edward finally putting the two skanks in their place publically was brilliant, public fuckery would have squicked me out but the crawling was a really nice way of Bella showing her devotion to her Dom, not squicky at all.

Really looking forward to therapy, and you know more carlisle.

But a whole chapter between the two with no steps back, finally! you must be so proud of them. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Do my eye's decieve me did I just read Edward Cullen acting like a grown up instead of having a temper tantrum hallelujah! Finally steps forward no step back betweeen the two of them. I love that Bella wrote in her journal that she wasn't collared when Alice confessed and that she felt she was given a collared punishment because that's exactly what happen and when Edward read that it gave him food for thought.

Love that Edward recognises that the lines in their relationship are blurred and they need to work on defining them.

Rose the beast had me in stitches I hope she rips Jasper a new one too! Pregnancy hormones are so much easier to deal with when you have somewhere to direct the rage.

Nice cliffhanger can't wait to see what happens.

My only complaint, no carlisle :-( maybe he could stop by in the next chapter ya know lol



Author's Response:

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Edward being an adult - the beast - glad you liked it - sorry about Dr C... but I'll send you something from me!

Oh yet another chapter with no steps backwards they're growing up so fast *wipes away a tear*. Fantastic chapter as usual.

Edward's male "fat" slip up, classic, I love that all the other men had no sympathy and pretty much laughed at his misfortune, seriously you'd think that at his age he'd know better.

Loved that Bella gave Renee both barrels it was fantastic to see her have the confidence to deal with her mother by herself instead of relying on Edward.

And of course the return of Doctor C!

Loved it looking forward to next week.

Okat first off if Edward and Bella are going to be playing infront of Kate and Garrett can you please post a warning That's a hard limit for me I'll just skim that bit it squicks me out.
More steps forward, good communication, very nice now let's move on to the most important part.....The return of Doctor C he was there and then he was gone *sob* if found please send him to me here in snowy Devon, England,.

Liked it a bit concerned that Bella is losing some of her fiestyness and spark but i'm sure that won't last.

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Author's Response:

hey sweetie - okay - be warned now - Edward is planning a surprise next chapter - it will come in about half way and you will see the warning signs! But I promise it won't be too bad  - the emphasis is not on Kate and Garrett, but on Bella and Edward and how they respond to each other.

Doctor C is making a comeback and you will need to tell me after the next chapter if you would like the out take from the fall out that's coming up.  Bella's spark will never go away, she will just learn to channel it into more appropriate times.  Keep warm! Love Michele

Esme really what were you thinking, silly woman if you don't want Dr C i'll  take him off of your hands lol. I would love the outtake.

Bella telling Edward made me laugh but Bella asked Edward not to tell Emmett and the minute she was off the phone he completely disregarded Bella and did it anyway, after the whole Alice debacle isn't that a huge double standard, will anything come of it? If Edward can pull out the dom card at anytime to get what he wants or justify ignoring what Bella wants or asks in their day to day life how is the relationship equal does that make sense i'm a little confused?? I shall have to go back and read from the begining lol

It was a huge rollercoaster ride this chapter I have to wonder if Edward is going to push Bella too far only for to snap and safe word.

I steeled myself for the squickyness of the voyuerismy bit and wasn't too squicked out at all I kinda forgot Kate and Garrett were there too. Mind you I did read it really quickly lol.

Really liked it looking forward to next week.

How can a woman go on after learning that the love of her life has
committed one of the ultimate wrongs. Bella will have to fiind out for herself
after she learns who Edward truly is.  Will she love him regardless of his
flaws?

Date: 12 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 10: What She Said

Wow just when I though I couldn't hate Edward any more what an arsehole, If it's true and he knocked up his skank whore it opens up all new questions did Alice know about this before she tried to excuse Twatwards behavior? if she did what does this say about her friendship with Bella if she was my friend she'd be quickly kicked to the curb. If he has knocked up tanya then does Bella need to be tested for STD's if Edward wasn't using condoms with either of them sheesh, as if ruining Bella's hopes and dreams wasn't enough he's risked her sexual health too? And with someone that works in the same hospital as Bella talk about rubbing her nose in it. I hope Bella get her answers and walks any and I hope Edward gets every bit of pain, heartache and humilation he's dished out to bella tenfold. So so pissed off, How on earth there be a HEA after this i don't know, but I can't wait to see where you are going to take this story.

I love this strong independant Bella. Glad to see she has no intentions of going back to thing 2. Will there be a showdown between Bella and Edward. well it wouldn't be much of a showdown really Bella is strong and independant and Edward is a pathetic excuse for a man with no balls, he seems to have handed them over to Skankya.

Loved this chapter can't wait to read more.

So we now know who the mystery woman is, I have to say I was convinced it was Edward's bio-mum.

Love that Bella got closure with James one arsehole down one to go!

 Loved it! Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Wow, Bella gets shat upon from a great height and everyone of her support system feels sympathy for fuckerward. I'm glad that Bella is getting her closure with Edward but am not sure I can see a HEA between B & E. It looks more and more likely that Edward is the daddy.

And Malice is still a two faced bitch glad that Bella has said her piece and cut ties with her.

Date: 09 Sep 2010 Title: Chapter 17: Confessions

Damn so he is the daddy, and he what expects Bella to forgive him and accept his son, the child he concieved whilst cheating on her? He seems awfully blase about fathering a child with another woman.
