IN THE LAST CHAPTER:

So, this is where we left our two favorite people in the world…

"But you don't have a girlfriend or a submissive?" she was watching him closely.

Edward took his time and answered slowly. Here goes.

"No. I've never found someone that I wanted to date who would fit the role of sub as well." Her eyes didn't leave his, "Until now."

CHAPTER 7

Bella froze. "W-w-what do you mean?" Have I lost my mind? HAS HE?

Her palms had started to sweat and she tried to pull her hand out of Edward's. He looked at her calmly and opened her hand and wiped it on his thigh, and then he deliberately held it again. "Relax Bella! We are only talking here. Breathe".

She took a couple of deep, slow breaths, but her heart was still racing.

Edward kept looking at her with a mixture of amusement and concern, Bella looked at him and swallowed "Okay".

He smiled at her and brushed his knuckle over her cheek. "I like you, Bella. It's obvious that we have a connection, an attraction – the electricity –"

"The electricity!" they both said at the same time and suddenly they were laughing.

"You felt it too?" she said.

"Of course I did! I thought I was crazy, but it just keeps happening every time –"

"…we touch". She finished his sentence and then blushed.

"I like you too, Edward". She giggled "Fuck, I feel like I am 15! Only then I didn't say the word 'fuck'. Well not out loud, anyway" I am SO out of control now!! Her thoughts were jumbled. He likes me, he likes me, fuck, is he unstable? He must be, HE LIKES ME!!!!

"So what, Mr. Dom? You want to whip me and tie me up?" Filter, where are you? OH! FUCK! Thanks for deserting me NOW!!

Bella looked up at Edward and burst out laughing at his expression. His eyebrows had shot up into his hair line and his mouth was hanging open.

"Oh! Edward! Y-y-you should s-s-see your face!" and with that she flopped over the couch and just let the laugher take her.

Edward's mind went blank for a moment. WHAT THE FUCK? Did she just say that? Was she kidding? Of course she was, sick fuck! Goddamned evil minded asshole!

There was a part of Edward that hoped that she would never stop surprising him and that she was serious – so she wanted to play did she? Edward smirked to himself, two could play this game.

He smirked down at Bella as she was trying to sit up and wipe the tears off her cheeks, she was still snorting at him.

"Be careful little girl. You wish is my command."

Bella stopped snorting immediately. It was Edwards turn to laugh.

She punched him on his arm "Bad Edward! Don't do that!"

She was pissed off. If the truth be told that was EXACTLY what she wanted! Okay, maybe not the whip right now, but for him to spank her and maybe tie her up? Bella's mind began to turn. Could she get him to do it, without her having to ask him? Hmmm…

"Don't do what?" Edward whined as he rubbed his arm.

"Don't tease" She whispered – was she really doing this?

Edward looked at her, suddenly quite serious "Bella, I never tease unless I plan to follow through."

"Really?" Her voice went up into a squeak.

"Really."

"Oh" FUCK!! Yes!

They sat staring at each other. There was enough electrical charge in the room to light a small town. Slowly Edward traced her cheek with the tip of his finger; he moved it down her neck to cover the throbbing pulse in her neck.

Bella couldn't keep her hands to herself anymore. She leaned across and traced his eyebrow with her fingers. She brushed his hair on his forehead. She jumped and pulled her hand away as he spoke.

"Do you trust me, Bella?"

"Yes" she didn't hesitate "I do. Do you trust me?"

"Yes"

"Edward?"

"What Sweetheart?"

"Will you kiss me? Please?"

He slowly moved forward, not taking his eyes from hers and very gently and softly, he brushed his lips across hers. He did it again and this time he brought his hands to rest gently on her back. She parted her lips and his tongue brushed over her bottom lip, before it dipped into her mouth.

Suddenly, the dam that was holding Bella emotions in check broke and she was moving and crushing him against the pillows of the couch, she wrapped her arms around him and sunk her hands into his glorious hair. Her tongue darted into his mouth, drinking him in. His tongue met hers and she moaned into his mouth.

Edward froze as Bella climbed onto him. Holy shit! Where is this coming from? His dick was rock hard and he ground himself into her leg. He wanted to rip her clothes off right now, but he had to exercise every ounce of control that he had.

He gently disengaged her hands and pushed her off him. He held her wrists in his one hand.

Bella was flushed, her mouth swollen, her breathing was erratic – more like panting than breathing.

"Wow", she murmured and opened her eyes slowly.

"Yeah, wow" he said.

Bella's eyes focused on his and she suddenly pulled away from him. "Oh! Fuck! I'm sorry! You kissed me and I attacked you like some stalker or crazy person. I AM crazy! Okay, not really ..." she was rambling now.

Edward put a hand over her mouth "Bella, shut up". He said firmly as she frowned up at him.

"Damn woman, you answer your own questions and you think too much! Do I look traumatized?"

She shook her head.

"Do I look afraid?"

She shook her head again.

"So, am I okay?"

She looked at him for a moment and he felt the smile under his hand, she nodded and he took his hand away.

She pursed her lips "Um, so what now?"

He smiled at her "Why don't we take it slow? There's no pressure and no rush, at all okay? We can move at your pace?"

Bella grinned at him "You're giving me control? Not very Domward".

Edward cocked that seriously sexy brow at her "Only for now Isabella. Only for now."

Bella stopped grinning and bit her lip. "Okay. Um, can you kiss me again?" she was blushing again.

Edward smiled at her. "Why don't you kiss me?"

She scowled at him. "Why?"

He wasn't smiling now, he was looking at her very intensely, and very deliberately he lowered his voice, "Because I want you to. Because it would please me. Do you want to please me, Isabella?"

Was she ready for this? He had to know now, before this went any further. He knew that she was the One for him. Was he it for her? Would she understand his queues?

She was blushing but she met his gaze steadily. "Yes Edward, I want to please you," she whispered and licked her lips.

Bella rose up onto her knees and turned to fully face him. She climbed onto his lap. She wriggled her hips slightly and Edward's hands moved to grip her hips tightly, half in warning and half in lust. Crap! She wasn't going to make this easy, not at all.

Bella could feel his cock against the inside of her thigh, almost at he junction of her legs. She could feel the moisture in her panties. She wanted him. She had never wanted anyone or anything more in her life. Bella moved her hands up and over his chest, her nails raking his nipples, causing him to moan. Her hands snaked up his neck and into the back of his hair. She loved his hair, so fucking sexy and erotic and it just said 'fuck me' like nothing else! Bella locked eyes with Edward, determined to assure him that this was what she wanted.

His eyes were emerald green and burning with a fire that Bella hadn't seen since they had met. He was pulling her in to his gaze, she was dazzled, enchanted, and she wanted to be anything that he wanted her to be. Could this man hold the key to all her desires and fantasies? Could he be her One?

Bella groaned and leaned forward and kissed him. Softly, almost mirroring his earlier kiss. Over and over she brushed her lips over his. She took his lip into her mouth and sucked it, she bit down slightly and ran her tongue over it.

"So good" she breathed against his mouth as she pressed her body up against his. She ground her pussy into his crotch. She needed release, she need to cum. She wriggled her hips against him.

Edward was in Hell. He was in Heaven! He wanted to fuck her right here. He wanted to take her against the wall, he wanted to take her hard and fast and make her scream his name until she couldn't remember anything else! He wanted to lay her down and make sweet love to her. Edward couldn't remember ever making love to any woman before. He wanted to flip her over and to have her bend in his arms, to melt for him, only him.

He was sweating as he held himself in check. He had to let her lead this! He wanted her to trust him not to hurt her. So, Edward responded to Bella's onslaught without acting on his desires. This was about her after all. If she was going to be his sub, and he knew she wanted to be, then he had to get used to putting her first. He could do this, he was used to this role.

When they needed to breathe, Bella leaned her forehead against his and smiled "Is this okay?"

"You are killing me!" He groaned and pulled her closer against him. "You are so beautiful and desirable and totally dangerous!" He laughed.

Bella pulled away from him with mischievous look and gave him a mock shocked look "Am I doing it wrong 'Sir'?"

Edward ran his hands though his hair. "Fuck Bella! You can't say things like that while I am in this condition and did I give you permission to call me 'Sir'?" He felt his control slipping.

"Look, I think that we have had enough excitement for one night, don't you?" And with that he picked Bella up and moved her off his lap and to the side of the couch, while he moved away from her.

Bella jumped to her feet so quickly that she stumbled and had to right herself. She walked away 2 paces and then swung back to face him with her hands on her hips.

Uh Oh. He knew that expression. She was pissed off and frustrated.

"Why?" she spat out at him.

Edward stood up slowly to face her and ran his hand through his hair.

"Why?" he repeated back to her, giving her a chance to think this through before she took him on.

Apparently, she didn't want to think anything through. "Yes, why? Why is it enough? Because YOU said so?"

Shit she didn't just go there, did she? They were going to do this now? Fuck caution! Bella thought, let's see how far this can go. She felt a fission of excitement run through her.

Edward began to get exasperated. Damn she knew how to push his buttons. "I'm not a patient man, Isabella and yes, because I said so. I am not without my limits". He was warning her. He stood tall and folded his arms, frowning at her. Do you know what you are doing Bella? He could see the excitement in her eyes, she wanted to agitate him, and she was trying to see how far she could push him!

"Well, Edward Cullen, you don't scare me so you can wipe that scowl off your face." She was angry now, hell yes; he was the most beautiful man she'd ever seen, but fuck! He had made her want him, and now she did and he wanted to call it a night! I don't think so Sparky!

Now he was glaring down at her "Isabella, be very careful how you proceed."

But she didn't want to be careful, something inside her was forcing her to push against his will she wanted to see what he would do if she pushed him too far. She knew that she trusted him, and she also knew that he was capable of hurting her, but would he? Or would he be able to feed the need that she had inside of her, without humiliation, without shame?

She had to try, she had to know if Edward was the one she had been waiting for all her life.

She walked forward until she was toe to toe with him. She deliberately growled at him and poked his chest with her finger. "I. Am. Not. Scared. Of. You." She said softly, while looking into his eyes.

Inside, Bella was shouting at him. Hear me Edward, please! Please show me if you will do this with me, will you be my Dom? Please, I want to submit to you so much, please don't leave me hanging out here to dry!

Nothing. He just stood there glaring at her, assessing her, judging her. Bella was defeated. Maybe he did like her, but not like that. Not in that way. She still had her pride. Bella swung round and walked across the lounge, swinging her hips a little more than she normally did. "Man up, Cullen." She said over her shoulder as she walked into the kitchen.

The ground disappeared beneath her and she screamed as Edward swung her up over his shoulder. His hand came down on her bottom – hard. "That is just the beginning! I have had enough!"

Bella kicked her legs. "Let me go! Put me down you caveman!" He smacked her again "Stop that! Damn it!" he growled as he dropped her sprawling on the bed. She bounced a few times and tried to crawl off the end of the bed. She was puffing and her face was red, but her heart was pounding and Bella felt her pussy was swollen with her juices, she knew that she was close to cumming just from the thought of what may be about to occur.

Edward grabbed her and pulled her over to him. She scramble to her knees. His hands were on her shoulders holding her still. "You had to push me! Didn't you?" he barked at her.

She answered honestly "Yes, I had to. I had to see."

Edward felt the earth shift. Oh my God.

"Do you want to be punished, Isabella?"

Bella groaned and closed her eyes – the Voice, Oh! The Voice, that Voice, the voice of her Dominant. She loved that voice. She knew – he was the One. Her One.

"Yes, please." And with that she surrendered to Edward. She bowed to his will, and she gave him her heart. She bit her lip.

Edward felt his heart catch fire! He wasn't even feeling his dick right now. It was all about her.

"Look at me, Isabella. 3 warm up smacks and 8 as punishment for being cheeky and deliberately provoking me."

Bella broke away from his gaze. "What?"

"Not what. Pay attention at all times, I don't like repeating myself! You will count and you will thank me when I am finished. Do you understand?"

"um, yes"

"Yes, Sir. Look at me."

Her eyes shot up to his. "Yes Sir" She bit her lip and couldn't keep from smiling.

Edward wanted to roll his eyes at her. She looked like she was going to do a fucking happy dance! But he frowned at her.

"Pay attention Isabella!" She stopped smiling "There are Safe Words. "Red" means stop all play – immediately. "Yellow" means slow down or go cautiously. Do you understand so far?"

"Yes Sir"

"Are you okay Bella?" She could see that he was in control, keeping her safe, checking on her. He looked at her closely looking for any fear or apprehension, but there was none. He only saw excitement and arousal and trust in her eyes.

"Yes Sir", she smiled at him and took his hand, squeezing it.

Edward turned and sat comfortably on the side of the bed. "Come and lay over my lap, Isabella."

Bella scrambled off the bed and quickly walked to where Edward was sitting, she was somewhat awkward and half fell into his lap. Once again Edward was tempted to roll his eyes at her attempts, but he reminded himself that he had a duty to make sure that she was okay. He concentrated on her body and her non verbal ques.

Bella could feel his erection underneath her stomach. If she could move a little, maybe she could get the ridged outline of his cock over her clit and get some of the friction that she craved. She wriggled around a little and felt his hand smack down on her backside.

"Ow! You could have warned me!" she hissed at him trying to see him over her shoulder.

"That's for moving around – now fucking stay still and count 3 warm up spanks. I need to make sure that you aren't marked."

Bella felt him pull up her sundress. OH MY GOD! She was drenched in her panties already!

SMACK!

"One" she mumbled as she tried to catch her breath.

"Louder Isabella" His voice was steady and strong.

SMACK!

"Two! Ow!"

SMACK!

"Three!"

This wasn't unpleasant, Bella realized, each smack had left a warm and almost tingling feeling and a pulling from her nipples into her pussy.

Bella felt Edward rub over her butt and legs, massaging and soothing as he went.

His hands gripped the sides of the lace waistband of her boy shorts "Lift up, I am going to take these down."

He pulled them midway down her thighs and she wiggled again – Fuck! She needed friction!

He smacked her lightly on her thighs "Stop that"

He bent over her and whispered in her ear "Are you turned on, Isabella?"

She almost came right then, "Y-yes"

Another light smack, this time at the junction of her legs "What?"

"Yes Sir"

He sat up and in a louder, but firm voice he commented "Too bad. This is punishment, so you get no release now."

"Please?" Oh! She was not against begging now, in fact, Bella knew that she would do just about anything to cum for Edward. She twisted around to look at him.

He just smirked at her. "Not now! Have patience, Isabella. Are you ready?" He ran his hand over her ass. It was warm and pink – beautiful.

SMACK! This one was harder!

"One!"

SMACK!

"Two!"

At 5 her butt was smarting and Bella could barley keep still. She felt the tears well up in her eyes and she was breathing as if she had run up a hill.

Edward stopped and leaned forward and once again whispered next to her ear, "Do you want to say a safe word, Isabella?"

She bit her lip to keep a sob inside. "N-n-no Sir!" She stuttered as she felt the tears spill over.

Just for a moment she felt his hand in her hair, gently, lovingly "Okay, baby?" his words touched her soul. He was still in control, he was still keeping her safe.

She smiled through her tears "Okay"

"You are doing very well, Isabella. I am proud of you. Let's continue, with 3 more.

Bella felt her heart swell up at his words. He was pleased with her. He wanted to do this with her and for her. She could do this, even more than that, she WANTED to do this!

SMACK! 6

SMACK! 7

SMACK! 8

Then he was rubbing and massaging her stinging ass. She was trembling. She was sore, but she was so aroused! Her pussy was swollen and she was dripping onto his jeans – she could feel the wetness, so could he, and she didn't care! She was vulnerable and exposed and she needed him to give her release.

Bella felt Edward grip her hips. "Lie on the bed, Isabella". The Voice was tight and hard now. Not so in control now, Sparky? Bella thought with a spiteful feeling of satisfaction.

She slipped off his lap and moved to pull her panties up.

"No! Leave them where they are. I am not finished yet" He looked at her, and she stared down at him, he saw the confusion and frustration and the lust burning in her eyes. "Lie down on your stomach".

He got up and went into the bathroom as Bella lay down. She heard him opening the bathroom drawers and cupboards.

Bella lay on the bed and pulled her dress down over her smarting behind. It felt sensitive and she hissed as her hands brushed against her cheeks. She thought about what they had done. She had felt so safe and she knew then that she would do anything with him, for him. She knew that Edward would never abuse her or loose control. She knew that he may push her limits, but he would never go too far. She smiled into the pillow that smelled like him and tucked her hands beneath it. She snuggled down, rubbing her thighs together; here was the pleasure with the pain!

"You look entirely too happy and satisfied for someone who has just punished, little girl." Bella jumped and squealed at the sound of his voice. Edward was back and standing next to the bed.

She quickly looked up at him, but he looked amused, his expression belying the stern tone of his voice.

Bella giggled and turned her face into the pillow before she uttered something into it.

"What did you say?" Edward sat down next to her.

"Nothing" Bella wouldn't look at him.

"You are a bad liar, Isabella, and a bad girl for tying to lie to me and for not answering me when I asked you. Now, what did you say?" There was no smile in his voice now.

She turned her face to look at him, she was blushing now, having been caught out. "I um, I thought the um, s-scene was over?"

"Did I not say to you that I am not finished?" He looked stern, his 'Dom' voice fully back in place.

Fuck! Now she had done it! She had displeased him again.

"Answer me Isabella. Stop hesitating!"

"Yes, Sir. You said you weren't finished. And… I said that you made me happy but not satisfied – not yet."

Her face and neck were scarlet. She could feel the blush sweep down her neck in curl into her belly. She wanted to look away from his lazer green glare, but she couldn't she wanted to drown in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Ed – Sir. I'm sorry that I lied to you." She whispered.

Bella put her head down on the pillow and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see the disappointment in his eyes. She couldn't get this right – she never would. She wanted to cry again, but fought the feeling back.

She felt him move closer to her and then she felt his hands gently pull up her dress again. For a moment she felt nothing and then she felt his lips raining little kisses all over her back and ass and thighs. Gently, softly, like butterfly kisses.

"You look so pretty like this, Isabella. All warm and soft and pink." He whispered against her skin. She felt his hands brush across both cheeks, gently and she hissed at the sensation. "Are you sore?"He asked quietly.

"Not really. It feels tender and sensitive rather than sore" she whispered again.

Edward sat up. "Now I am going to finish giving you aftercare, Isabella. Every time we had a session like this, I will administer aftercare to you. As a submissive, as my submissive" Bella breath caught as his words sank in, but he didn't stop there, "you are my greatest concern. I want to, no I need to take care of you." He was opening something and he rubbed his hands together. Bella recognized the smell of her lotion. He put his hands on her thighs and moved them up and across her ass. The feeling was wonderful, his hands gentle but firm and soothing her stinging ass and she felt her body relax under his touch.

"For a Dom, his world revolves around his sub. You said earlier that you have done research, and you weren't too off base, but your view is a little one-sided."

"Everything I will do Isabella will be for you. I know what you need, what you desire, what you fear. My 'job' as your Dom is to meet your needs, and your desires and to never EVER take advantage of your fears. It is my 'job' to make sure that you are healthy and safe and loved. You and I have to trust each other. We have to be 100% honest with each other."

He pulled her pants up and she whimpered in frustration and disappointment, but she bit her lip to stifle the sound. She did not want to make him unhappy again. She really wanted to please him. He pulled her dress down and stood up, Bella rolled onto her side and looked up at him. He held out his hand to her.

"Come here, Isabella." He commanded softly, his eyes shining with warmth and affection.

She moved quickly, grimacing a little at the tenderness as she sat up and then stood before him- she took before him and took his hand.

"You did very well, Isabella. I am proud of you. Even though you deserve further punishment for your sassy mouth and for lying to me and being greedy and impatient."

He saw a spark of anger flash into her eyes and he put his other hand over her mouth.

"I caution you to choose your words carefully, Isabella. Your backside is already sore, so if you want to get any release this weekend, I warn you, be careful."

Fuck! He's serious, Bella really wanted to call him out on his high handedness. I'm so not afraid of you, Sparky, she thought, but I fucking need to cum soon! She wanted to throw him on the bed, but she knew that this wasn't the time.

So Bella stood quietly staring at him as she willed herself to look calm and impassive. She lowered her gaze and looked at the ground, she had read that subs did that. She looked at his toes.

Fuck! He's even got sexy feet! She felt herself blushing slightly.

Edward squeezed her hand and removed his other from her mouth. "Very good girl. Look at me."

Bella took a deep breath and looked up into those beautiful eyes which were warm and tender.

"This session is over. Let's to and have something to drink and talk." He turned and led Bella to the kitchen. "What do you feel like love?" Bella's eyes flashed at him, but she just smiled and said "I will make some coffee if you like?"

He smiled back at her "That sounds great, let me help you"

"NO!" She spoke quickly, too loud "I mean, no thanks. I really would like a few moments alone if you don't mind".

She pulled away from him and gathered up their wine glasses and the bottle and walked into the kitchen.

Edward knew that they had to talk. She must have a million question and he had to set down some ground rules. He was frustrated that he didn't know what she was thinking.

Had they been too hasty? She had initiated it, she had wanted it, should he had have let her lead them down this path so quickly? Did she hate him now? Resent him? Fuck! He needed to speak to Jasper or Garrett. He really needed their guidance now!

Edward forced himself to calm down. He put some music on the iPod. Then he sat on the couch and waited. Bella came in carrying a tray with milk and sugar and their mugs.

She set it down and then sat down next to him. Bella leaned forward and busied herself pouring milk into their mugs and added Edwards 1 teaspoon of sugar. Edward felt ridiculously happy that she knew how he liked his coffee.

He put his hand on her arm to still her movements. "Come here" he said softly and he pulled her towards him. At first she resisted and then as he moved to touch his lips to hers in a soft kiss, Bella's out of control emotions spilled over again and then she was kissing him, as her hands moved into his hair and she tugged and stroked as she kissed him with an aggressiveness that she never knew she had.

"Whoa! Baby, slow down!" Edward pulled away slightly to look at her. She opened her eyes and pulled away from him "Sorry! I don't know what is wrong with me!" You fucking liar, you are horny,just tell him already! Oh Shut up!

"Hey love, I understand" He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "That was really intense, but we need to talk about our session and we need to talk about where we go from here."

"You are right, we do need to talk" Bella moved away from him with a sigh and they reached for their slightly cold coffee.

Edward knew it was now or never, "Did you enjoy our session? Remember this will only work if we are honest with each other."

Bella blushed and dipped her head to sip her coffee. "You know I did. I'm not really sorry that I provoked you."She looked up at him through her lashes, "I wanted to see what would happen, what you would do."

He frowned at her, is she nuts? "That was dangerous and foolish. You don't really know me well enough to push my buttons, you have not idea what I could have done to you as punishment! You don't know what my limits or my preferences are, Bella!"

Edward put his coffee down and went to the kitchen and came back with a beer. "For fucksake, do you want someone to really hurt you?" He was pacing now, running his hands through his hair.

Bella felt awful. How could she explain this to him? She got up and walked in front of him as he turned to pace again, at the closeness of her, he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Edward, I am sorry. I didn't mean to do it for that reason only. I knew you wouldn't hurt me like J- like him. I feel safe with you. I would never have done that if I didn't". She reached out and tentatively put her hand on his chest. "You make me safe, Edward", and then Bella smiled and at that moment Edward felt the world fall out from underneath him.

He knew that he'd sooner cut off his own balls than to ever let this beautiful woman go or be hurt. She was his!

He stepped closer to her and put his hand against her cheek, he rubbed her lips with his thumb. "Thank you for your trust, Bella." He leaned down and kissed her once, twice, just touching, pressing.

Edward stepped back and gave a laugh "You are very distracting. We have to set some ground rules."

Bella frowned "Wait. What sort of ground rules?"

"Like when, where and how we will play, that's if you want to. Also, we need to know each others hard limits and preferences. We may not be matched to do this." Edward was almost talking to himself as he moved around the lounge, he was restless, thinking.

Bella's voice stopped him again. "You know that I want to do this and only with you, but what the fucks are hard limits again?"

Edward looked at her and smiled "I forget that this is really new to you. You know you are going to have to learn submissive ways." I'm going to enjoy teaching you, little girl, he thought to himself, as he watched her face. She was so expressive. He could see that she was eager, almost joyful, but at the same time she was apprehensive, she was biting her lip again.

"Okay, hard limits are just that, things that are out of bounds, that we don't want to do. We can talk about them, but we have to be respectful with each other".

Bella grinned at him and then she yawned. Blushing she made to sit down again, but Edward just took her cup from her and smiled down at her. "Time for bed, I think".

Bella clapped her hands. Oh! God! Can I be anymore pathetic? Fuck me, take me, please!! "Goody! At last!" Now she was beaming, her eyes shining with lust and excitement. She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him down the hallway.

She was brought up short, turning she saw that Edward hadn't moved, and he had a decidedly amused look on his face. She frowned up at him "You think this state" she indicated her body, "is FUNNY?"

"Bella…" He pursed his lips as he looked at her.

"Your place or mine" and she laughed at her joke. Please, please stop talking! Her other self pleaded.

Edward took her hand again. "Bella. It's been a long day. A very emotional day for both of us, and you will need to be rested for tomorrow." YES!! "Go to bed, Love."

When she looked like she would argue, he took her in his arms and whispered into her ear, "Make no mistake, I want you Isabella. Tomorrow. Patience, my Bella". Bella shivered at his tone. She could feel his arousal against her and she knew that he wanted her as much as she wanted him.

He held her face and kissed her lips lightly and then he pushed her towards his bedroom.

"Your room? " she said with another yawn.

Edward laughed "Yes, Honey. I want to sleep with you, so go to bed. I need to make a call and then I clean up and lock the house up."

"Kay" Bella suddenly felt as tired as she went into their bedroom and closed the door.

Edward picked up his beer and took his cigarettes outside and sat on the steps of the porch. He pulled out his phone and dialed Jasper's number.

"Hey there bro'! 'Sup?" Edward snorted his beer all over the stairs. "Fuck Jazz! You are having a gangster moment again?"

"Gotta keep ya on ya toes, boy! So how the fuck are you? I spoke to Alice, so I am up to speed. So tell me what's really going on?"

Edward smiled listening to his friend. He lit a cigarette and took a long pull on his beer.

"I need your advice Bro. I've met someone."

Edward almost threw the phone down from the sound of the rebel yell that Jasper let rip.

"How? Wait! Your housemate! I knew it! I knew there was something more to Ali's story. So, tell me, is she an Italian beauty?" Jasper was happy for Edward, him and Alice were beginning to think he'd never open up to someone.

Edward was smiling "She is a beauty but she's not Italian. She just moved to San Francisco actually. She's from Washington. She's here on holiday and yeah I'm staying with her." Edward hesitated for a moment, "Jazz?. She's ..We've.. we're .. Oh! Fuck it! Jasper, Bella is a submissive, and I'm crazy about her!"

His friend was quiet for a moment, "What? You're shitting me! A sub and you like her? Wait – crazy about her as in – girlfriend crazy"

"Yeah! Look, it just came out and we are getting closer and I don't quite know what to do now."

Edward felt like he was a school boy all over again. He and Jasper took their lifestyle very seriously and Edward knew that neither Jasper nor Garrett would let him fuck up.

Jasper became serious. "You really do like this girl, don't you?"

Edward finished his cigarette and whispered into the phone "I feel like I have been hit by a hammer! Bella is amazing."

"Okay, how far have you gone? It's only been like 4 days, Dude. Can you trust her?"

Edward relaxed against the door frame "Okay, listen. I will tell you all about Isabella Swan and you can judge for yourself…."

As Edward told his best friend about how he and Bella met and how their relationship has progressed, he was once again struck by how he and Bella just seemed to fit together, like two sides of the same coin.

"…so she's gone to bed now. I told her we needed to lay down some rules and do our lists tomorrow. So, what do you think? I've never felt like this before Jasper. Will you help me? You and Alice? Jazz? JASPER!"

He heard Jasper laughing "Calm the fuck down Edward, I was just thinking. Of course we will help you. You know that we have your back, always.

Bella sounds great, but Edward, you know that this is going to be a little different. You are going to have a LOT of patience." Edward snorted and swore under his breath "Don't swear at me Edward. She has no experience. NONE. She doesn't know how to sit or kneel or stand, she doesn't know our ways or how to behave. That's not going to happen overnight"

"And you, my friend, are going to have to learn how to separate your sessions as Dom/sub time and your relationship time with your girlfriend. I take it you want to keep seeing her when you come home?"

"Absolutely"

"Well then, to make matters more complicated, there's the fact that you are Edward, fucking, Cullen and you are in demand and recognizable by most people over the age of 6"

Edward began to feel depressed. He sighed heavily "I know Jasper! What if she can't take the pressure and the separations? I'm gone a lot and why would she want to wait around for me? Fuck Jazz! I'm and impatient prick and you know I am going to fuck this up! I'm gonna blow this – big time! I should just give it a miss now. I'm gonna hurt her –"

Edward could feel himself getting into a full blown panic attack.

"Edward! Man – fucking breathe and shut up for a minute. Jesus! You need to calm down. Are you okay?"

"Yeah" He felt light headed and sad. There were so many complications…

"Edward, just tell me this one thing and I want you to really think about this – can you let her go, Dude? Can you just walk away?"

Edward thought about the woman that had stolen his heart, yes he had to admit it, she had stolen his heart. He loved her – as insane as that sounded, he could never let her go, he had to try, THEY had to try and make this work.

"Edward?"

"Yeah, I'm here. The answer is NO – I can't let her go. There's something about her, I can't explain it, but it's like she has put incredible color in my life. Everything is so right when she is near me. Even if we are fighting and she is sassing me! She's spirited and sassy and cute and funny and fuck! She is so sexy – she's like breathing to me."

Jasper laughed "Oh man! You are so pussy whipped and you haven't even gone there yet! It's over for you Dude!"

Edward laughed but didn't deny it.

"So when are you coming over?" he asked.

"We will be in Italy on Sunday, late. I am flying out tonight. Then it's Lake Como for 10 days! Fuck, that sounds good!"

"Are you meeting Alice at the villa?" Edward had bought a villa in the tiny town of Bellagio on the shore of Lake Como about 5 years previously. The Cullens tried to all get away together at some time during the year.

"Yeah. You and Bella coming up Next week? It will give her and Alice time to bond and Ali can be there to talk to, help her. In the mean time my advice is to take it slow with the sessions. Get to know each other. Get to know her body and let her explore yours. Let her gain some confidence and Edward, if you do play, BE PATIENT with her. Listen to her verbal and non verbal ques. Check with her often. Praise her good behavior, but you will need to let her know that wrong behavior will be punished. Remind her of her safe words, you need to just keep going over the basics. Don't push her limits for now."

"Thanks Jazz, I hear you. About the villa – that's what I wanted to ask you about. I know you guys want alone time, but would you mind if we came down? I am not sure when the family will get there. Obviously I need to ask Bella first. Thanks for listening, bro. Do you want to ask Alice as well, you will need to tell her everything."

"Edward, it will be fine! It's your house, fucker. It's not like we will trip over each other" at that they laughed. The villa had 8 bedrooms, all with dressing rooms and bathrooms and it also had a full play room in the attic. 2 sitting rooms, a formal dining room and a den. There was a swimming pool, 2 hot tubs (one in the master suite), no space would not be a problem.

They spoke for a few more minutes and then said their goodbyes. Edward went inside and cleaned up. He secured the door. He walked up to the loft and looked for a writing pad and pen.

He took a seat and began to write out some basic rules.

When he finished it was 2.30 a.m. Edward realized that he was so tired. He switched off all the lights as he made his way into the bedroom. The bathroom light was switched on and it cast a feint light across the room. He saw her lying in his bed. She was in his bed! His breath caught and his heart swelled with love. He pulled his clothes off and put them in the hamper. He washed his face and brushed his teeth. He was too tired to shower. He left his boxers on, even though he didn't normally wear anything.

Bella lay turned away from him on her stomach. Her hair was wild around her shoulders and pillow. He gently pulled her hair back off her face. She's so very beautiful, he thought to himself.

He climbed into bed behind her. She was wearing one of his t-shirts – it had ridden up over her hips and he could see she had her boy shorts on. Hot Pink, cute and fuck hot!

Edward pulled a sheet over them and slipped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. Bella snuggled up against him, she let out a soft sigh and then "Edward".

He smiled into her hair, his one hand rested on her stomach and the other was curled around her breast and sighed as he closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

A/N:

So what did you think? I have just popped my first session "cherry"! Did it suck? I have no experience in B/D/S/M/ at all. It is just me and my imagination. (Sick and twisted!!)

Next chapter is the morning after the night before…
