The First Six Months

EPOV

After Bella left and I sat on that stool for hours thinking about what she had said. I was still having problems with the whole 'beating women thing.' But Bella was right, I did enjoy spanking her and the riding crop was a turn on too, I didn't feel like I was beating her while I did it nor I did I feel like it now. I knew enough about Isabella to know she would never let a man beat her. Ok, time to move past that Edward.

I picked up the information she left and went to my office to really look it over with an open mind. It was fascinating, I could see exactly what she meant about me having dominant traits. As I was reading about how the Dom takes care of the sub I couldn't help but think of myself and Isabella, I wanted to take care of her like that. It wouldn't be controlling her but taking care of her and helping her to be the best person she could and her serving me was also helping me to be the best I could. The more I thought about it the more I liked the dynamics of the relationship. Was I drawn to it because of Tanya's controlling nature? Maybe, but I did not want to control Bella's life, I wanted to take care of her and show her that I cared. I wanted to guide her but not make her decisions for her. Thinking about everything made me realize if I did this it would have to be with Bella.

For years I have watched Bella grow into a very special young woman. She is gorgeous on the outside and the inside is even better. For the past couple of years I found myself thinking she would some lucky guy very happy and I always felt a little weird about that. I have noticed her looking at me a few times and always thought I knew what those looks meant but to have it confirmed had me on cloud nine. She wanted me, there were a lot of other guys she could have and she wanted me. I have never liked the looks she got from the boys at school or other men on the street, I always felt it was disrespectful to her but if I was being honest, and I was, she had starred in a few on my morning jerk sessions also. I didn't love her, not yet at least but I cared deeply, more deeply than I originally thought and like Bella I knew it could build into love very easily.

That still left the age difference, which was a problem. She said it didn't bother her, which led me to believe that she realized it would bother most people. I didn't think it would bother me, I was sure some people would call me a pervert but I could handle that. What I wouldn't be able to handle was if people said things and it upset Isabella or my kids. I would have a large problem if my kids suffered because of this. I'm just going to put that on the back burner for now, it may be a moot point anyway if I decide not to do this for other reasons.

As I continued to read I came to the realization that D/s relationships were as varied as normal relationships. Some focused on pain, some on pleasure and some on the fine line in the middle. Since most of what Isabella left did not deal with pain I assumed she was not into a lot of pain and that was good because if she wanted that I knew I couldn't give it to her. Some small pain like we had already done is fine but I wouldn't be able to step it up to much more. Then I came to the information about limits and safe words and I knew having that conversation with Bella would take quite a while because there was no room for a misunderstanding on that.

I went on line to do some more research and holy fucking shit the things there were to use on her had me instantly hard. Nipple clamps, gags, binding ropes, the cross, the whipping bench, suspension systems, dildos, vibrators with remote controls, play parties and the playrooms, I couldn't believe the things that were out there. Bella had also left 2 business cards, one for a fetish shop and the other for a private club. On each card were the names of a D/s couple she had talked to and found very informative but non-judgmental considering her lack of experience. She hadn't told them my name but they were willing to talk to me also. I wanted to talk to them before I made a final decision but I knew barring anything really strange this was something I wanted to do.

Tanya and the kids arrived home on Monday and everyone appeared to have had a good holiday weekend. During dinner I picked on things Emily,11, and Ethan,9, said that led me to believe that Tanya did not spend the entire weekend with them. I had received pictures in the mail a few weeks ago that showed her leaving a motel but she was by herself, it looked as if I needed to hire a private investigator to follow her. If I wanted to walk away from her with my kids, and I did, then I needed to have all the dirt on her I could.

She was pissed when she saw the empty beer bottles in the trash but yet I wouldn't take one when she offered it to me.

"Edward I don't understand why you won't drink around me?" She asked as she tried to sit in my lap. "We used to have some very good times once you would relax. Don't you remember?"

"Tanya what I remember is that every time I get close to my limit in this marriage, close to actually leaving you, you ply me with booze, we have sex and surprise you get pregnant. Now I know you recognize the signs and are trying to do the same thing again. You need to see I have learned my lesson and won't repeat the cycle."

"You don't know what you are talking about. I will not allow you to leave me Edward and you will not get the children, you need to remember that." she yelled at me as she stomped up the stairs and slammed the bedroom door.

She slammed the door so hard she woke up our youngest, Evan,6. I put him back to bed and went to the guest room, I was anxious about seeing Bella for the first time tomorrow but when I smelled her on the pillows I fell into a peaceful slumber. I dreamed of Isabella, she was tied to a cross bent over and I was fucking her like my life depended on it. She was begging me to let her cum and when I finally let her she screamed "Master" and I woke up right as I jizzed my pants but with a big smile on my face. I hurried to get a shower, I wanted to get to school early and not see Bella. Mrs. Cope cornered me as soon as I arrived in the office.

"Head master you wanted me to remind you about Ms. Swan and her uniform violation."

"Thank you Mrs. Cope. I actually took care of that over the weekend when I saw her out."

It was less then 5 minutes before the final bell rang and the halls were still full, so I went out to shoo the students to class. As I turned into the science hall I could see her ahead with her friends and it looked to be a heated conversation.

"I told you 2 already what I did Friday night is none of your business. At different times you have both wanted things to just be let go; well now it is my turn let this go." I heard Bella say.

"We just don't want to see you get hurt Bella and it is not like you to keep secrets." Alice told her.

"I understand and I appreciate it but Friday is off limits I will not talk about it. I was not hurt and nothing that happened on Friday will hurt me. This could be a deal breaker guys I mean it - drop it."

I couldn't see Bella's face but I did see Ms. Hale's and Ms. Brandon's when she said deal breaker and they looked shocked, I decided to step in.

"Ladies it is time to go to class, do you need help with that?" Her 2 friends shook their heads no, Bella turned and lowered her eyes, "No Head Master." The way she stressed master made my cock twitch and I watched her walk away.

True to her word nothing Bella ever did would make people wonder about us. If I ran into her in or out of school it was as if nothing happened. It made me realize she had also meant it when she said I would have to go to her if I wanted this, she would not come to me.

For the last 2 weeks things at the school were great, at home - not so much. Tanya was pissed because I had moved into the guest room and the kids were asking questions about if we were going to get divorced. Tanya's answer was no and mine was more honest - I didn't know but mommy and daddy are not getting along.

I found time to go to Seattle twice and talk to the couple that owned the fetish shop, Peter was the D and Charlotte was the s. I could tell right away why Bella picked them for me to talk to, he was about 12-15 years older than she was. I was able to talk openly to both of them but especially Peter. I told him how neither of us had done this before, how I felt neither of us were into pain, I did not want to train as a sub first I wanted us to do this together and the biggest thing our age difference. He listened to my worries, he thought we could do it together as long as our limits lined up but recommended we come to the club or attend workshops to learn the finer points of some things we wanted to try.

Lastly he and Charlotte were very honest about the reactions they got in public. In the BDSM community the reactions were mostly fine, there had been a couple of run ins with former subs of Peter's but he insisted he thought it was more a case of jealousy since he had ended both relationships. In the 'vanilla' community the reception had not been as good. He had been called a cradle robber and a pervert, she had been called a gold digger and been accused of looking for a sugar daddy. Then he said the thing that put most of my worries to rest.

"In the end Edward none of that matters. I love her and nothing could ever convince me that my life or hers would be better if we were apart. The people who say things like that are jealous, narrow minded assholes, they wish they had what Charlotte and I do and sometimes I pity them and their mundane lives."

A week later is when I called her and asked her to meet me at the school, to bring her research and her application to Washington University. She squealed at a "yes" and was in my office 20 minutes later looking very nervous.

"Bella there is nothing to be nervous about, obviously I want this or I wouldn't have called you. However there are things we need to discuss before we can commit to this. Right now I just want us to be Edward and Bella and talk openly about everything. Ok?"

"Yes. I understand this is breaking new territory for both of us and the only way to do this is with complete honesty and openness."

"Good. I feel I should tell you about where my marriage stands before we go any further. I am sleeping in the guest room and have plans to look for an apartment soon. I am going to file for divorce as soon as I have the information I need to make sure she can't take my kids from me. You need to know that we would need to keep things hidden at least until the divorce is final and that could take a while. How do you feel about that?"

"I understand that completely. I would never do anything that could jeopardize the relationship you have with your children. You are a great father Edward, it is one of the things that draws me to you. You do know that Tanya likes to hang out on the rez don't you?"

"No, I had no idea."

"Well, she does. For the most part they are a very closed community but if you are sure you really want to know what she does there, I know someone you could talk to about her."

"I need to find out what she is doing there so I will take any help you can give me on this."

"You need to talk to Leah Clearwater but wait until you see her someplace other than the rez. People won't like that she talked to you, even as much as they hate Tanya's ..er.. activities when she is there, they won't like that Leah talked to someone outside the tribe."

"Why would she be willing to talk to me then?"

"She is not happy about Tanya's involvement with her brother Seth. If you tell her who you are and why you need the information I am pretty sure she will tell you everything you need to know."

"Thank you Bella, I will get in touch with her. Now, I think it is important to ask where you see all of this leading in the future?"

"If I am honest Edward I don't know, I am having a hard time seeing past the fact that you want this. I was being truthful at your house when I said I don't love you yet but I can easily see it happening, that is still true. I do know that when I look five years down the road I see you in my life. Why? Where do you see this leading?"

"I don't know Bella. I do know that I care for you, deeply but I don't want to lead you on if I can never give you more than this. At this moment the thought of marriage turns my stomach and if that is what you are hoping for..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa stop right there. First, it would be impossible for you to lead me on, I mean I started the whole thing so that thought is just, well, dumb. You know how my mom and dad's divorce went so the thought of marriage turns my stomach now too. What I am sure about is that I want this with you. I want you in my life and the rest we can figure out as we go along. I understand there will be up's and down's and it may get slippery at times but I am willing to do that as long as you are there with me."

"Ok, ok, we will take this one day at time and see how things go but I want you in my life also Bella. Now lets talk about limits and how things will work now."

We spent the next hour going over limits and we were pretty closely matched. I was right she wasn't into hard pain but she did admit she loved in when I spanked her and the riding crop. I was surprised to find she was a little bit of an exhibitionist and wanted to explore that. We went over safe words and would use the green-yellow-red system when actually playing and to end everything the word was 'butterscotch'.

I told her about parts of my conversations with Peter and how he had mentioned some form of exercise to increase stamina. We agreed on jogging and I wanted Bella to do yoga for flexibility and balance. I didn't want her to get hurt when we really got into things. The last thing we did was look over everything for college.

"Bella, how do you see things working once you are in college?"

"I'm not sure. I mean freshman are required to get dorm rooms and my scholarship covers that but I have been talking to Renee and she and Phil are going to pay for me to get an apartment so I can have quiet. I assumed that depending on how things are going with you we would decide if I would come here or you would come to Seattle. I know things will be very up in the air for a while and I am willing to work through it with you."

"Yeah, things will be up in the air and last minute until I get things more under control with Tanya and I appreciate that you are being so understanding." I was running my hand through my hair pulling on it.

Bella came around to my side of the desk to kneel at my side with her head lowered. "You seem really tense Sir, may I help you with that?"

"Now how would you do that Isabella?"

"I want to suck your cock Sir. I have missed it."

"You've missed my cock?" She nodded yes. "Lower my jeans and boxers then and remove your panties."

"I'm not wearing panties Sir." Fuck me and she is in a mini skirt.

"Get your ass on my desk you naughty girl and hike your skirt up so I can see if you are wet for me?" She hurried to do what I asked and when she lifted her skirt I could she her thighs were wet already. My cock twitched, he had missed her too.

I lightly slapped the inside of her thighs, "I am waiting Isabella. As much as I love your mouth, I have missed your pussy. You are not allowed to cum until I say and not a sound Isabella."

She was just getting back on the desk when I wrapped her legs around me and slammed into her. "Fucckkk, you feel so good. I have missed this little girl." She was biting her lip trying not to make any noise, but that wouldn't do. For what I wanted next I needed her to make a noise.

I picked up my pace and started moving my hand towards her clit. "I swear I could live inside your pussy. Put your Kegel muscles to work and squeeze me."

She was trying hard not to say anything and just as she squeezed me I flicked her clit. "Aaahhhhhhhh" and there it was, I stopped moving and gripped her hips.

"Really Isabella, so soon?" I pulled out of her, pulled her off the desk, turned her around and leaned her over the desk. I opened one of my desk drawers and pulled out the surprise I had for her.

As I pushed back into her I leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I have a surprise for you. You are going to love this but first your punishment for not being silent and this time I want to hear how much my naughty little girl likes what I do to her. Five swats kitten, count them off."

I brought my hand down on her left ass cheek as I pushed into her. "One Sir."

Now her right ass cheek a little harder. "Twoo Sir. Mmmm you feel so good."

Left again as I pushed in harder. "Three Sir. God I love how your cock feels, sooo big."

Right again as I picked up the surprise. "Four Sir. Please may I cum Sir?"

"Not yet Isabella." I was close and wouldn't last much longer. "Damn you're so fucking wet and tight. Squeeze me, hard."

My hand landed on her left cheek as she clamped down on me. "Fiiiive Sir." Her legs were shaking and I pushed the dildo I had lubed into her ass and that was all it took. Her voice went up about 3 octaves. "Fuck Sir. I need to cum. Please, please, please may I cum? Need...to..please."

I felt my balls tighten, "Cum Isabella. Cum all over my cock, NOW."

"Jesus Christ," I yelled as my cum shot into her hot pussy. I didn't know if I could take cumming that hard on a regular basis or not but I loved the idea of finding out.

"I'm cummming Sir," she shouted and her legs were shaking. I held onto her hips to make sure she didn't fall.

Once our bodies calmed down I pulled out of her and sat both of us in my chair with her on my lap. She curled into my chest with her head on my shoulder. I barely heard her say, "Thank you Sir. You make me feel so good."

"Thank you Isabella. Lean over the desk and let me put something on your ass to take the sting out of your spanking."

The summer was hectic to say the least. I talked to Leah Clearwater and that conversation pushed me into moving out and finding an apartment. Tanya had been screwing around for years, I hired the P.I. to get the dirt I needed on her and I didn't think it would take too long either. Isabella and I went to Seattle one day to find her an apartment, mmmmm road head nothing better.

Her apartment was actually the bottom floor of a house and had a private entrance in the back. It would be easy for me to come see her. We didn't think any one suspected anything but I wouldn't put it past Tanya to have me followed. We had not had many opportunities to get together over the summer but e-mail and web cams had come in very handy, plus it would be how we communicated when she was in school. We used this time to get to know each other better and work out any concerns we had about our arrangement. We were always very honest with each other but some things were just easier in an e-mail than face to face.

I became worried when she told me Rose and Alice would be going to Washington too, but she assured me they knew the rules about not coming to her apartment unannounced. They had really tried to get information out of her over the summer and she finally had to tell them to make a choice. Either give her privacy or find a new friend. I felt bad when she told about that, she had been friends with them forever and I didn't want to be the reason she lost that. I decided to discuss it during our Edward & Bella time so she would know to speak as freely as she needed.

"Edward, they are just being nosy. They have each had things they couldn't tell for a while and I have always respected that. The one time I ask for that kind of privacy they give me shit, they will back off or they aren't the friends I think they are. When I put it like that they understood. Also I gave them a little information. They know it concerns a man and the situation is complicated but I started everything and am not being forced into anything. I told them I would explain as soon as I could and even if by some chance they happened to see something they shouldn't to question me or talk to anyone about it would be a deal breaker. They respected that and are willing to wait as long as it takes for me to explain. The fact that I am so happy is another reason they let it go, I mean you can't be bad for me if I am happy all the time."

That was when I realized I was falling in love with her, that right or wrong I wanted to keep her. That was the night I didn't just fuck Bella. I don't know that I would say we made love but we definitely did more than just have sex. In that moment is when I knew I would adore and cherish her for as long as she would let me. I would protect her and take care of her with every fiber of my being, she was a part of me, maybe the best part. Time would tell.

It was the weekend before she left for school and I had a surprise of her. I was going to collar her this weekend. I had been searching for one for some time and couldn't find anything I liked so I had one made. I couldn't use anything that obviously had my name or initials on it so I order her a platinum choker but the clasp was my initials in Chinese symbols and it closed in the front. I really hoped she liked it.

When she arrived at my apartment I had a picnic dinner laid out on the living room floor for us. It was all finger foods and we spent the meal feeding each other and talking about what had been happening lately and the fact that she would be leaving in 2 days and we weren't sure when we would see each other, it depended on how she adjusted at school.

After dinner I ordered her to the bedroom, "Isabella I want you naked and in your position in my bedroom. I will be up in 10 minutes." I could hear her rushing to comply while I picked up after our picnic. When I pushed opened the door she was kneeling next to the bed with her head down and she was a sight to see. I wondered if she has seen the ropes on the bed, my naughty, naughty girl loved to be tied up and I found I liked it too.

"Before we start Isabella I have a present for you. I know we are both committed to this but I need you to have something when you are at school that reminds you and me that you are mine. I am the one who takes care of you, I am the one you come to when there is a problem and I am the one that gives you pleasure and the only one you want to please."

I walked to the dresser to retrieve the box. "I have a collar for you kitten and if you want to continue on this road with me and only me than stand and receive it."

As she stood I opened the box so she could see. She looked up at me quickly and then back down. "Speak freely Isabella and you may look at me."

"Oh Sir it is beautiful. I will wear your collar with pride, I love knowing I belong to you and only you. I love how you take care of me, I never want for anything."

"The symbols are the clasp so it goes in front." I told her as I put it on. "Do you like it?"

She walked to the mirror to look at it on her. "I love it Master, thank you so much."

As she said Master my cock twitched in my jeans. "Then crawl up on the bed because I am about to show you how much I like seeing it on you."

I tied her spread eagle to the posters of the bed, I gave her pussy a quick lick before I moved into her field of vision. "You are going to have your mouth full while I eat your sweet pussy. Be as vocal as you can and cum when you want as often as you want. Because you will not be able to say your safe words if at any time you are uncomfortable snap your fingers and I will immediately stop. Do you understand?"

"Yes Master."

"Then open up kitten I have missed your mouth on me." She groaned as I slid my cock into her mouth and positioned my mouth over her pussy. As I licked her slit it shook me every time how damn good she tasted and god she was so responsive, moaning around my cock. She was taking me all the way in and I was on the edge already, if she swallowed I would cum for sure. I pushed 2 fingers into her and sucked her clit. I think her orgasm surprised her as much as it did me because she would have been screaming if she could and then she swallowed - twice - hard.

"Fuck baby I'm cumming." I ground out. She was swallowing my cum and that just pushed my orgasm longer. After she licked me clean I rolled to the side and undid her bindings. I rolled her onto her stomach and got the massage oil to do her aftercare. When I was done I pulled back the covers and climbed in bed pulling her to my side, "You are sleeping with me tonight."

I felt Bella jerk awake in the night and waited for her to go back to sleep, but she was fidgety and wouldn't calm down. "Isabella is something wrong? Why can't you go back to sleep?"

"I had a dream Master, a really good dream and now I am horny." she said shyly.

"Really, well lets see how horny you are." I reached down and god she was wet, instant hard on. "let's see what I can do for you." I told her as I slide her leg forward and entered her. She groaned and then stopped herself. "Oh no I want to hear my naughty girl. Waking your Master up because you need to be fucked, you really are my little slut in the bedroom and I love it. Hold on."

I rolled so I was on my back and she was sitting reverse cowgirl on me without losing our connection. "Ride me Isabella, I want to hear how only I can make you feel."

She started riding me hard. "Master you feel so good. You make me feel so full. Fuck Master so close."

"Do not cum Isabella, touch your self."

I knew she was close, she was squeezing me so tight and her legs were shaking, she was having a hard time keeping her rhythm. I quietly licked my thumb, grabbed her hips and leaned her forward more. "Now Isabella, now." I yelled as I pushed my thumb just inside her ass.

"Holy shit Maaaaaaaaasterrrrrrrrrrr." She screamed as she clamped down on me harder than ever, her entire body was shaking as I came inside her and then she just collapsed onto my legs.

"Are you ok?" I asked rubbing her back. "Isabella?" I could feel her breathing. I pulled her off and up so I could see her face. "Isabella," I said sternly "I asked you a question. Are you OK?" She opened her eyes at least and nodded slightly. "Are you sure?" Again a nod. I watched her for a few minutes. "Can you talk to me now? You are scaring me."

She finally spoke softly, "I am sorry Master, and I didn't mean to scare you. It was just so good. I have never cum that hard before and it sucked all my energy. May I sleep now please?"

"Yes my sweet girl, go to sleep." As I watched her sleep my heart rate returned to normal. As I drifted off I wondered what I would do while she was away.

Isabella being away was hard. It wasn't like I got to see her much over the summer but knowing I couldn't see her if I wanted made things more difficult. As she went back to school so did I and to say people were shocked about Tanya and I would be an understatement. It didn't stop the single female teachers from hitting on me though. I gave my standard answer, 'We're just separated nothing has been decided about a divorce yet. It just wouldn't be right.' I was seeing my kids, avoiding Tanya and talking a lot to Isabella. You would be amazed what you can do and see with a web cam, it was no where near the same as being with her but it was a lot better then jerking off in the shower.

I had received some information from the investigator right after Halloween and I wanted to discuss it with Bella before I saw a lawyer. She was so insightful when it came to people's actions, I was surprised when she majored in literature instead of psychology. I was going to talk to her over Thanksgiving and then go see a lawyer. My plans went to hell when I received a call from my mother saying we had to come to Chicago for Thanksgiving and she had invited Tanya's parents. She wouldn't take no for an answer and when I told Tanya she wasn't surprised at all. She had talked to either her or my mother and I was pissed, there was no way she had been honest about the split and I would get grilled all weekend. When I called Bella she wasn't happy either but she understood and told me to make the best of it.

"This is your chance to warn your parents about what is coming Edward. Don't give them specific's but let them know what Leah told you and that you have hired someone to look into what she is doing. Tell them about your suspicions and that you are trying to do things in a way that guarantees you get primary custody of the kids. Use this chance to really get them on your side and maybe they can look out for stuff she says or implies that will help you. In the long run this could be a good thing Edward. I will miss you and wish I could see you but I am in this for the long run and you will not be happy without your kids."

"You're right. I should stop focusing on the negatives and look at ways I can use this opportunity. How is it you know how to calm me down after just a few months and people who have known me my entire life can't?"

"I just have your best interests at heart Edward. No ulterior motives, no wondering what's in it for me. When you are happy, I am happy. It is just that simple. Am I allowed to text you while you are in Chicago?"

"Of course."

"Even pictures?"

I sucked in my breath, two weeks ago she had sent me a text while I was at school. I was actually walking to the cafeteria when I opened it. It was Isabella on her kitchen table naked except for her collar and nipple clamps I had yet to see in person, holding a flogger. She had brought her feet up so they rested on the edge of the table and I had a perfect view of her pussy. The caption on the bottom said, 'Missing You.' I had stopped to talk to one of teacher's while the pix was loading, when she walked away I looked at the screen. "Fucckkk," came out of my mouth softly, but not softly enough as I saw a few students turn to look at me. I walked straight to the private bathroom in my office, called her and had some much needed phone sex.

As I came out of my memory, "even pictures, Isabella."

She giggled, "good cause I really liked your last reaction when I sent a picture."

"Good night, Isabella."

"Good night, Master."

Thanksgiving was a nightmare, Tanya was trying to act all lovey and I was focusing on the kids. With her parents there of course we had to share a room, I slept on the floor. Thanksgiving dinner was tense as Esme and Carmen, Tanya's mother kept making comments about how nice it was for everyone to be together as one big happy family. Esme made the mistake of asking the kids how school was and how things were in Forks.

Evan laughed, "If we are at Dad's things are great and we do things as a family. If we are at Mom's we just pray the babysitter isn't Jessica because she is mean."

Out of the mouths of babes, the adults just looked at each other and had no idea what to say. I stood up with my plate, "Mom we'll clear the table while you get the desserts. Kids if you are done bring your plates in the kitchen." The subject was dropped until Saturday afternoon, Tanya had taken the kids with her parents to Chuck E. Cheese so they could spend some time together.

"Mom, Dad, I really need to explain the situation to you so something like this weekend doesn't happen again." As Bella suggested I explained everything to them, our entire marriage. I told them how I had been close to leaving twice before and the surprise pregnancies, my suspicions about Tanya, Leah's confirmation of some things and that I had hired someone to follow her.

"I want my children, I am what is best for them. As soon as I get enough information I am divorcing her and taking the kids."

"Edward, why didn't you ever tell us it was this bad between you two?" Carlisle asked.

"I am 35 I should be able to do this on my own. It makes me feel like failure to admit any of this to you let alone all of it."

"Edward, your father and I are on your side in this. Anything we can do to make this easier on you or the kids just let us know. I love you, son and you are not a failure. I know you and am sure you worked at this as hard as you could." Esme said.

"Thank you, it helps knowing you don't view me as a failure and I did try to work at it. I didn't decide to move out until it was confirmed that she had been with other men. That is when it ended for me."

I felt better after my conversation with my parents and I knew I wouldn't have to worry about a weekend like this again. How they dealt with Tanya's parents was their business. I grabbed my phone, I had received 3 texts from Isabella but hadn't had the opportunity to open them, and I now knew better then to do it unless I was alone. The first 2 were very naughty and had me hard as a rock. The third was a video and had been sent just 20 minutes ago. The video was 3 minutes long and ended with her favorite vibrator buried in her pussy and she was whimpering "Master, please call I need to cum."

I was releasing my cock as I dialed her number. I didn't even give her a chance to say hello. "Did you cum?" I snarled into the phone.

"No, Master I would never unless you said it was Ok. But I need to sooo bad. Please?"

I was working my cock and after that video was so damn close. "Is the vibrator by you?"

"Yes Master."

"Put it in your pussy, turn it on high and then leave it alone."

"Aaahhhhh Master, please, please."

"No, you have been a bad girl sending me something like that. Touch your clit kitten."

"Ooohhhh Master, please, please I can't hold it. I'm sorry pleasseee." she was whimpering.

"Shit, cum with Isabella, now."

"Yessssss," she screamed. "Soooo good Master. Thank you."

Listening to her cum was making my dick hard again. I calmed my breathing down, "You do realize that the only thing keeping you from getting a red ass is the fact that you didn't get a release earlier. Don't you?"

"Yes Master" she replied sadly. "I'm sorry. I just thought this weekend would be stressful for you and maybe it would help you relax. I didn't mean to be disrespectful."

"Ok, I understand your reasoning behind it and I will hold off on your punishment until Christmas. I fly back tomorrow and we will web cam tomorrow night."

"Yes Master I can't wait. Good night."

I chuckled, "Good night Isabella."

Tanya and I didn't talk the entire flight back to Forks. I knew she felt the shift in things after returning on Saturday and was trying to ignore it. I was busy planning a Christmas surprise for Bella. When I moved into the apartment I came across the deed to a cottage my uncle left my last year. It was about an hour outside of Forks, deep in the woods. You needed a 4X4 to get there and it didn't have electricity. I have been fixing it up but mostly importantly I turned the second bedroom into a play room and it was not easy getting some of the things out there. I hoped she liked it, I was pretty sure she would.

We wouldn't be seeing each other until after Christmas but it would be worth the wait. I had also gotten her a new collar, a thicker one for when we were in the playroom with D rings. I got hard just thinking about it. I knew she was on her break, the kids and I ran into her at the food court in the mall. Emily had been acting off all day and was really excited to see Bella. I was returning from the men's room with Evan when I overheard part of their conversation.

"Emily have you tried to talk to your mom about this?"

"She is never around Bella and I wouldn't feel comfortable asking her anyway. We don't have that close of a relationship."

"Have you tried your dad? He loves you Em you must know that?"

"I do and I was going to try today but you're here and I would feel more comfortable with you."

"Ok, I will ask your dad if you can ride with me and we will go to my house and talk about everything. But you should know, I was raised by my father and while I understand these types of conversations can be very weird with your father, they can be muddled through. He is there for you Em, no matter how weird it may seem he would learn about anything, even this, for you. He loves you, never forget that."

"I know but it would be weird."

Then Bella saw me walk up to the table, "Mr. Cullen would it be alright if I gave Emily a ride home. I need some girl time and Emily can give me that."

"No problem Bella just have her home by dinner."

"Thank you, Sir. Lets go Emily."

I was concerned about Emily but by what I had heard I thought it was probably about female things. I was glad Emily felt she could talk to Bella about those things, I was hoping it would make things easier when it came time to tell the kids about her. It felt right to have her there with the kids and it turned me on when she called me Sir in public and she knew it. Her and Emily got home about an hour before dinner, Emily ran right up to her room while Bella and I went to the kitchen.

"I know you heard most of the conversation at the mall but I did ask Emily if it was okay to tell about this and she said yes. Some of Emily friends have gotten their periods and while she hasn't yet she is showing the signs of it. So expect that in a few months."

I know my face paled because Bella laughed and patted my hand. "I took her to Wal-Mart and got her tampons and pads and explained how they work to her so you don't have to worry about that part of it. I did tell her that when she started and ran out of what we bought she would need to tell you exactly what kind she had so you could get them. And yes size and everything is important so when she tells you to buy a certain brand be sure you do. Ok?"

"Yes I will. Thank you for handling that for me. You were right, I would learn if I had to but I am glad she would rather talk to you."

"I thought so. Also a part of this is her breasts have started to come in. We got her a few bras too but depending on how fast she develops she made need a larger size in a few months. Just leave her alone in that department and buy whatever she picks. If you have a problem let me know and I will talk to her. I gave her my cell phone number so she could call with any questions. Now, I want to talk about some other things she mentioned and I have already warned her that you may want to question her about it later. She begged me not to tell you and I assured her you would not be mad about anything or make her stay home until she is 30."

At this point I had no idea what to think but the 30 comment made me think it involved boys. "Emily has just turned 12 right?" I shook my head yes.

"She has a couple of friends who are 13 and one just turned 14, they are starting to experiment, with alcohol and boys. They aren't encouraging the other girls to do it but they talk about it a lot and I felt you should know. We did not discuss sex in any way, she didn't ask and I didn't offer but definitely keep an eye on those friends and when she is with them."

"She is only 12 Bella, how can this be starting already? I am not ready for this yet."

"I suggest you get ready because it is here. At this point she is very uncomfortable with what they are saying. But you and I both know what peer pressure can do to someone. I don't want her feeling pressured into anything she knows she isn't ready for."

"So what? Keep an eye on her friends and what they are doing?"

"Yes and pay very close attention to the older ones and be sure a parent is present all night for any sleep over's. This brings us to the last thing but it was the most upsetting to me. I should warn you this is what she knows you will freak about but you can't show her your anger." I nodded. "Not good enough Edward, promise me you will not speak to Emily about this at all tonight."

"I promise I will not talk to Emily about this tonight?"

"Tanya is not around much at all. Emily told me a few weeks ago she was sick in the night and went to find Tanya and couldn't, she wasn't in the house and her car was gone. She was so scared she waited up for her. Tanya came home around 3am, stumbling around is how Emily put it and went to bed. The next morning Emily had to get the boys up, breakfast and ready for school on time. She said getting them ready in the morning has happened a few times but that was the only time she knew of that Tanya wasn't at home."

"What the fuck Bella! She left them alone and has my 12 year old daughter doing what a mother should."

She grabbed my hand, "I know. I know but you have to be calm, this is why you will not talk to Emily tonight. You need to be calm for this."

"How can I be calm, she left them alone! What if something had happened or someone had come into the house? They should not be with her."

"I agree with you 100 %. Sit down and I will tell you what I think you should do. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve so you need to be calm and happy for the kids. You need to talk to Emily tomorrow and tell her you are proud of her for protecting her brothers and getting them to school. However, stress to her that if it happens again she is to call you no matter what the time and you will come get them and bring them here. You will not be upset with her and you will not yell at Tanya about it. You just want them to be safe. If she runs late in the mornings she is to call you and you will come help. Once again you will not talk to Tanya about it, you want them safe."

"How can you expect me not to bitch Tanya out over this? The woman is a terrible mother."

"Because confronting her only shows your hand. What you do is pick them up and leave a note for Tanya saying you have them and you keep track of it all. I will warn Charlie about the conversation we are having now so that if she gets home, doesn't see your note and calls the cops they will know to call you first to see if you have them. The next morning after you drop them at school call Social Services and let them deal with it. That is how you get them taken away from her. Take the high road Edward and let your kids see she is the one at fault not you."

"I know you're right but it may take more than one night to calm down from this. I never thought she would endanger the kids that way."

Bella came up behind my chair and put her hands on my shoulders and whispered in my ear, "I would love to help you relieve some of that anger but now is not the time. Maybe after Christmas?"

I groaned, "Do you think you could sneak off for a day or two right after Christmas? I have a surprise for you and you could help me then."

"Yeah, I already planted the seed with Charlie that I may need to go to Seattle for a day or two for a project I have ongoing. So, I will see myself out, have a good Christmas with the kids and e-mail me the information. Merry Christmas, Master."

"Merry Christmas my sweet, beautiful, naughty little girl. I will miss you, Isabella."
