Contract: Page 2: Entitled Privileges: Part 1: The Sugar daddy:
1: The Sugar Daddy has a right to know where his Sugar Baby is at all times. The Sugar Baby must understand this completely, and be willing to share this information with her Sugar Daddy.
Ok, that's a problem. I realize that he worries, but I didn't want to be overly controlled. No tracking devices, or constant calls. That was a definite no.
2: The Sugar Baby must be willing to accompany her Sugar Daddy on important outings for business, travel, and company.
No problem.
3: The Sugar Baby must be comfortable with accepting gifts, money, and anything else her Sugar Daddy wishes to bestow upon her.
They had to be within reason. I mean, I already was not comfortable the ones he gave me, but I had also come to know that in this relationship it was an inevitable part of arrangement. We could have to compromise.
4: The Sugar Baby and Daddy maintain a concrete relationship, therefore neither partner will entertain any other relationship or flirtatious actions with anyone other than the Sugar Baby or Sugar Daddy.
This was a problem. I needed to be able to see multiple clients at the same time. He could not take all my time. I still needed to make money. He needed to understand that others are willing to pay for me too.
5: The Sugar Baby must be comfortable with sexual play. Note: Not as payment for what she receives, but for the enjoyment of her and her Sugar Daddy.
Sexual play was ok.
6: The Sugar Baby must be respectful of her Sugar Daddy at all times, in private and public settings.
Of course.
7: The Sugar Baby must dress in attire worthy of the status of her Sugar Daddy.
I would need Alice's help, I was not too good at picking clothes on my own.
8: The Sugar Baby must maintain a moderate healthy diet, exercise program, and sleeping schedule.
I guess that was not too much of a problem.
9: The Sugar Baby must be willing to attend all medical appointments needed to assure that she and her Sugar Daddy are safe of any complications that may come from intimate times with one another.
I'm all for being safe.
10: The Sugar Baby must be willing to be waxed, and be clear of any hair on her body, except that on her head and eyebrows.
No problem. I already was.
11: The Sugar Baby must not dabble in any sort of drug (do not include medical), or drink extreme amounts of alcohol to the point of intoxication.
I smiled at this. Seems the intoxication rule had already been broken last night.
12. The Sugar Baby must be willing to accept any punishments chosen by the Sugar Daddy that may come to her if any of the above rules are broken.-(see page 5, punishments)
Punishments?!
Contract: Page 3: Entitled privileges Part 2: The Sugar Baby:
1: The Sugar Baby is free to maintain any hobbies/ activities that do not put her at risk of endangerment.
2: The Sugar Baby is free to dress to her style as long as it is presentable for the occasion.
3: The Sugar Baby is free to plan personal days for herself so long as she makes her Sugar Daddy aware of them well in advance.
4: The Sugar Baby is free to express her limits on sexual play, and decline if not comfortable at any time with good reason. Any hard limits will be acknowledged and followed by the Sugar Daddy. (see page 4, sexual play).
5: The Sugar Baby is free at any time to discuss the rules of this contact, if needed, with her Sugar Daddy and even void the contract if relationship is not to her satisfaction.
6. The Sugar Baby will receive an allowance on a prepaid credit card, of 20,000 a month. This is hers to spend how she chooses so long as important things are taken care of first (having presentable clothes, shoes and accessories).
7. The Sugar Daddy will be responsible for all financial transactions that come along with taking care of his Sugar Baby's needs. (Food, clothing, phone, medical appointments, hair appointments, wax appointments, dental, automobile repairs and gasoline, date nights, travel expenses, and college). Thus the Sugar Baby will not be responsible for any financial transactions that involve her needs.
8. The Sugar Baby will be treated with the utmost respect at All times.
The space provided below is for the Sugar Baby to manually fill out any additional requirements or privileges she wishes to add to this contract before it is final
For the Time: Optional Arrangements:
Beginning:
The Sugar Daddy would appreciate it if his Sugar Baby is willing to spend several days, such as weekends, at his home. A guest room is provided. This would prove to keep the Sugar Baby close to her Sugar Daddy for company. This would also prove to be safer for the Sugar Baby's wellbeing as it cuts down on travel time.
The room will be separate and private. The room will be accompanied with a private bathroom, and electronics (computer, TV, media player, private phone line, etc.). This room will belong to the Sugar Baby only, and the Sugar Daddy is respect that at all times.
The room will be fully stocked with any supplies the Sugar Baby may need and want.
Progression:
However, as time progresses, and the relationship becomes more secure, this optional arrangement has the potential to turn into a requirement for the Sugar Baby. Should the relationship prove to satisfy both parties, the Sugar Daddy will expect his Sugar Baby to move in to his home permanently where he and she will both be more attentive to each other's needs.
At this point: The Sugar Baby will have complete run of the house, with respect to her Sugar Daddy's rules.
The Sugar Baby will be able to keep her room for her private use, but will also be expected to spend nights in her Sugar Daddy's room, unless circumstances do not permit it.

By the time I finished reading all the punishments, I took a deep breath. Edward and I had a lot to talk about.
I picked up my phone, scrolled to Edward's name and hit text. "I am reading your contract" Send.
I waited for the reply, he normally texted back so quick but there was no reply. Maybe he was still in a meeting.
I turned the page to the section where I could add my own stipulations, clicked my pen and jotted down some questions/concerns.
-What if Sugar Daddy breaks any of the rules?
-I should get some say in defending myself, if Sugar Daddy decides to punish.
-If I move in, I should still have the option of not staying the night.
-I should be able to work other jobs with different clients so long as it does not interfere with my Sugar Daddy.
I felt my phone buzz against my leg. I picked it up and looked at Edward's reply. "How is it?"
I laughed, "I have some concerns".
"I would be concerned if you didn't. Which part?"
"Actually, several".
"Hmm. I think that's good. It means you're taking it seriously."
"Edward, if I don't agree to this contract the way it is, will this not work?"
"It depends. I am willing to be flexible with the contract Bella."
"Ok, well when is a good time to discuss the contract? I'd rather not do it over text."
"I agree. Dinner tonight?"
"Ok. Just to let you know, we have a lot to discuss."
"I look forward to it." I could already see the smirk on his face from the other side of the phone.
"And this time, I won't be getting drunk and breaking rule number 11."
"Look at you, already remembering the rules. That pleases me Bella. I'll pick you up at 4:00 sharp. Please be ready." I laughed. Bossy.
"Yes Sir." I laughed again.
"Oh, I like that. Careful Bella. I'll see you tonight."
I found a simple black opened-back dress, to go along with a simple pair of black opened toed heels. I did light make up, and curled my hair so that I had wavy loose curls. I applied a little red lipstick and sprayed some perfume on my neck and shoulders.
Just in case it was cold, I grabbed my shawl and stuck it in my small handbag. I wanted to look nice tonight, but not over the top. This was business, and by the end of tonight I would either be a real sugar baby, or a girl looking for another job.
Alice gave me the thumbs up on my outfit. I told her I was to meet Edward again tonight for dinner, but nothing about the contract. In fact I made sure to put the contract in the bottom of my bag for safe keeping and to have at the meeting.
Alice looked at me while I waited by the door. "No spending nights unless you check in first."
I laughed, "I know. It won't happen again." She smiled at me.
"I just want you to be careful. It's a good business, but also dangerous if precautions are not taken. I want you to be safe."
"I will. I promise. In fact I won't even drink tonight."
"Well, you can drink. But know your limits."
"No. Tonight, we have somethings to discuss and I want to be completely alert."
"Oh. Bravo Bella. What things?"
"Our arrangement. What he wants. And what I expect."
Alice smiled. "Alright then. I would like to take credit for training you well. Be firm, but not too critical or open to his opinion."
"You trained me well. Don't worry."
"Is Jasper picking you up?" I smiled at her, half laughing.
"I don't think so Alice. But I'll be sure to tell him you asked about him."
"Oh be quite. I was just asking, so I would know who was dropping you back off, and who to kill if you don't return."
"Yeah, ok." I laughed again.
True to his word Edward showed up at my door at 4:00 sharp. I smiled as I opened the door. He too was dressed in all black. We looked like we were off to a funeral. But he did look remarkable, as always.
He smiled as he looked me up and down slowly. "You look amazing."
"You're not too bad yourself," I said blushing a little.
"Oh, you think so?" He put his hand out to me and we started to make our way to the car.
"Yes Mr. Cullen. Very appropriate for the occasion."
"Oh why thank you Miss Swan. Great minds think alike obviously," he said motioning to my black dress. I smirked at his wittiness, and slid into the car.
Surprisingly we didn't go that far from the house. We pulled up to a small little Asian restaurant. I felt he was feeling the same way as me. That being, we might or might not be together by the end of this date. I guess he wanted to be able to drop me off quickly if not.
"Hmm, I didn't know we would be so close to my house. I could have drove and met you here."
"No. You are my date. And it's my job to drive as the gentlemen."
"Well, I guess it's good you picked this spot. So conveniently close to my house, in case things don't work out you know." Edward looked at me for a moment before focusing his eyes back on finding a parking space.
"I'm sorry, Bella, I think you have the wrong idea here. Yes, I chose this place because it was close, but not to make things easier, as you put it, if things don't work out. As you and I both agree, we have a lot to talk about. I would rather use the time to talk, rather than traveling over to where I live as we have in the past. This way, even if we need to stay longer we have the option, knowing that if it gets too late I can take you home quickly."
"Oh," was all I could dumbly mange to say.
"Plus, the food is great, and we will have exclusive privacy. I've already reserved a private booth for us. I want us to take this night seriously."
"Yes, I do too." I looked out the window as Edward parked and shut off the engine.
"And I would also like you to know that I'm not looking to end this. Look at me now."
I immediately turned my face from the window to him. I saw the ends of his lips twitch a little into a tiny smirk but it disappeared too quickly. His face suddenly got very stern. "So whatever we discuss tonight, I will do my best to make you comfortable and be as flexible as I can with what you are uncomfortable with in the contract. I hope you understand that. This is not a game to me."
Edward's eyes where so intense and serious, all I could do was nod like a young child. He brought his hand to my face and cupped my chin stroking the side of my cheek with thumb. He smirked at my submissive face, "good. Let's go eat."
I let out a breath that I didn't know I had been holding in as Edward got out of the car. He could be so intense sometimes. It scared me, but also intrigued me. Maybe it was the fact that he was older. Or maybe that was just him.
Once we were seated Edward ordered us some appetizers and drinks. Even though he insisted on having some wine, he understood my not having any and actually agreed.
I looked at my purse, wondering if it was a good time to just get started with the contract. Edward seemed to be enjoying the first few sips of his wine while looking at me in between with a smirk.
I cleared my throat. "So, how was work? How was your day?" This seemed to surprise him as he tipped his head to the side and smiled a wide grin.
"It was good. Stressful at times. Thinking about you, and looking forward to this meeting kept me content. Thank you for asking."
I looked down at the fork on the table and nodded. "So I guess your meetings went well?"
"Yes. They did," he seemed so amused by my asking, I couldn't help the blush that came over me by the way he smiled at me. "And how was your day Bella? What did you do all day?"
"Me? Oh I just talked with Alice, you know. Read through the contract a good part of the day. So, yeah, it was good, I guess you could say." He picked up his wine again and sipped it slowly. I didn't know someone could look so sexy in just taking a sip of wine.
"Speaking of that contact, shall we get to it?"
"Yes," I sighed a sigh of relief. I was not good with small talk. Something I think Edward picked up on as he almost started laughing at the look on my face. I pulled it out from the bottom of my purse and set it out on the table. Edward sat there looking at me as I smoothed it out and sat up straight.
He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the contract. He also took out a small note pad and pen. "When you're ready Miss Swan."
I nodded again nervously. I was very thankful we had so much privacy because this was awkward. "Number one on page two. Seems a little bit restrictive. I mean, I want my privacy."
"Yes," he said with a smile, "of course you do. And I'm not trying to take that away. It simply means, I want to be aware of where you are so that I may have the option of meeting with you at any time. It also means I would like to be able to have contact with you by phone at any time. I am not requiring you to contact me every time you get up and go somewhere, but if I call you or ask, I expect you to be honest and tell me. Does that sound ok Bella?"
"Yes. Ok. I can do that. Just no tracking devices, or constant calls right?"
"No. No tracking devices. Or constant calls. I realize that would be a little too overboard."
"Ok, that sounds good."
He smiled, "Good. Next?" He wrote something down next to the number on the contract.
"Well, um number two is good, but-"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure about what?" I asked confused.
"Number two is ok with you? Because they should take precedence over perhaps what you might want to do that evening. And you are ok with that?"
"Well, it's my job. So yes. Unless I have an emergency of course. Like, I'm sick?"
"Yes of course," he smiled. "I was just checking." He wrote something else on the paper and motioned for me to continue.
"So, number three. I know gifts come with this arrangement. But I hope they are within reason."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, not getting several a day. Maybe one every once in a while. It's something that I'm not too comfortable with."
"Can we compromise on this? This is a big part of the arrangement. One of the main ways I show my gratitude to you besides bodily affection, is gifts. A gift does not have to be expensive either. Simply paying for a meal, or a dress while shopping can be considered gifts. Those are two simple examples, and yet they are both separate gifts given in one outing. I know you are not comfortable with it. I ask you to accept the little gifts always, but in return, I will also try to make fairly expensive gifts to you less often." I guess that was the best I was going to get on this. At least he was trying I guess.
"Ok, I can agree to that. I guess that's the compromise. Number four. This is a problem." Edward leaned forward and looked at it carefully.
"hmm, explain."
"Well, even though you are my first client. I should be allowed to have others. After all as long as you get what you pay for, why do you care if I do my line of work for others?"
I saw Edwards cheek bones stiffen. "What I pay for is you. I pay to have you to myself. And that is what I want. If you plan to see others, then we do not need to continue."
"Why?" I asked a little irritated.
"Is the money I pay you not adequate enough to keep you to myself? Am I not capable of covering your every expense or anything you desire? Why, do I need to share? Why do you need to turn to another for what I am more than capable of giving to you?"
"I just thought, that maybe it's a little selfish? That I should be able to meet with others if I need extra money."
"I am selfish. If you need extra money that is my job to provide for you, to make sure you will want for nothing. I will not give you a reason to go to another. Bella, I do not wish to share you with anyone. In return you will get me. I will be loyal to you for as long as we are together. I ask the same of you."
How could I argue with that? He shot down every reason I gave him. He did have a point though. I really didn't need to go to someone else, as long as he was paying for everything and my needs were covered.
"Ok. Just us then." He smiled at me and relaxed a little, pouring himself another glass of wine.
"Thank you," he said taking a sip.
"Number five, sexual play." I blushed a little as I turned to page four and looked at the list. Edward smiled at me as he followed suit. "I was ok with most of it. Dress up?" I laughed a little.
"Is that a problem?" he asked chuckling a little.
"No, you just don't strike me as a man who likes that stuff." I laughed awkwardly.
"Bella, I like a sexy school girl as much as the next man. Pigtails and a short skirt would look nice on you. Or do you prefer to be a maid?"
I laughed. This was so awkward. "Should I call you professor then?"
"Yes. I can teach you many things. Like how to behave." I laughed again, as Edward just looked at me with that intense stare. He looked down at my chest and seemed to be imagining something in his mind but then put it out of his mind and smiled at me. "I think, Isabella, as you get to know me you will come to find out many things you did not expect." He traced the top of his wine glass and continued to hold me in his intense stare with a small smirk on his lips. "Continue, please."
What did that mean? Seriously, what did he mean by that?
"Ok, um, candle wax. I don't want to do that. Just strike it. No discussion."
He chuckled, "consider it gone." He took his pen and scribbled something.
"The rest seemed ok."
"Alright. And Bella, if you don't want to participate in some sexual activity when I want to, I will respect that." Good to know. I nodded.
"Punishments," I said with a deep breath. Just then the waiter brought our appetizers out and asked if we had decided on anything to eat. I had been so busy with the contract that I had forgotten to even look at the menu.
Edward looked at me, nodded, and just ordered a few items. Chicken chow mein, beef and broccoli, walnut shrimp, and rice. We already had wanton soup and spring rolls on the table. I was thankful he took control.
Edward took the two small bowls that came with the soup and served us both some of the steamy wanton soup. "Punishments," he repeated, "what about them?"
"Thank you," I said motioning to the soup. He nodded and picked up a soon to start on his. I watched as he scooped up some of the broth and blew on it. Watching his pursed lips made me think about what they tasted like. Especially with the taste of wine on his tongue. "Well, um, maybe it's just me, but why are they needed?"
He chuckled, took a bit of his soup and looked at me. "Punishments are there to punish you."
"Right, but why? I mean, spankings? Grounded? Why do I need to be grounded? Change of my bed times?"
"Simple," he smiled, "I have rules. They need to be followed. And if they are not, punishments need to be given. Of course all punishments are to balance what was done. You will not be punished to the extreme for something minor. You will take the rules more seriously if punishments are there as well."
"Ok, what if I disagree."
"What do you mean?"
"Like, um, let's say you want to punish me for something I feel I don't need to be punished for?" His lips twitched into a half smirk.
"You will always have an opportunity to plead your case before I punish you. You will never be in the dark about why you are being punished. If you make a valid case, then I will be fair to you and not punish you."
"But what if I still don't think I need to be punished? What if we differ on opinion? And you still try to punish me?"
"Well, that will be rare Bella. Since I only punish on rules that are broken. You either broke the rule or you didn't. But let's say it does come up, I will take into account your stance and opinion on the issue. But in the end, I am the Daddy, you are the baby. There will be times, where you will have to see things from my point of view and take your punishments."
I sighed. I was starting to think there was no way around this one.
"So, I am to trust you to be fair? And not acknowledge what I feel is fair?"
"Yes. And no. I think you feel I am eager to punish you. That perhaps I am watching your every move, waiting for an opportunity. Let me set you straight. When I punish you, it will be because a crucial rule was broken. There most likely will not be a gray area. As I said, you either broke it or you didn't. And I am always willing to consider your side first."
"And what if your punishment is too harsh?"
He smiled at me, "I always try to balance it. But again, I am the Daddy, it is my right. But you are well within your right as the Baby, to ask or even beg for a lesser punishment."
I put my head down and looked at my soup, which I had not touched yet. Beg? Really?
"Bella, I don't want you to fear punishments. This is a relationship. A well brought up child recognizes that their parents have to take control and punish them from time to time for their bad behavior. But on the other side, that child does not live in fear of punishments. They recognize they are more like guidelines to keep the child in check. Same here. And I typically give warnings, unless it is blatant disrespect."
I guess that was the best I would get. Edward did not seem to want to budge on this. The rule was to stay on his good side. Follow the rules. The only thing was that I had my own opinions too, so rule following was not my thing. I guess I would try. Maybe. A part of me wanted to scream 'do your worst' just to challenge him, but the other half picked up on that unyielding look in his eyes and said to be submissive.
"Ok. Well I try on this. But I expect what you said to be abided by. I want to still be able to have my freedom, to speak up if I disagree."
Edward held an amused smile, "I will abide by what I said. And you will. Always. Please eat Bella, your food is getting cold."
I picked up my spoon and scooped up some of the broth. I swirled it around in the spoon, thinking intently. Many thoughts were running through my mind. "Edward, what if you break the rules?"
Edward paused for a moment. As if it was something completely foreign to him. "Break my own rules?"
"Well, say you disrespect me. Or I feel disrespected, when one of your rules say you will show respect at all times? Just an example."
"You will get a sincere apology," he said while seeming to be holding back a laugh. "But, me breaking my own rules, I would venture to say would not happen. And if it ever did, it would be rare indeed."
I took a sip of the soup. It was warm as it ran down my throat, and my mouth instantly craved more. I had not realized how hungry I was to this moment. I began to slurp the soup up faster, eating every morsel in the bowl. The soft dough wontons were delicious, along with the small pieces of shrimp and chicken.
"I would like to manually add that to the contract."
"Add what?"
"Sugar Baby is allowed to hold her own opinion and express to the Sugar Daddy when he is out of line."
"Within reason," he added giving me a stern look.
"Deal" I said with a smile. "Put it in there." He looked at me again with another stern look. I could tell Edward did not take too kindly to the fact that I was ordering him.
"Respect," he said through gritted teeth.
"Please," I said with an innocent smile, "please put it in there." He looked down at his contact, and jotted something in.
"Is that it then?"
"So far," I looked at optional arrangements. "Optional arrangements."
"Are you opposed to them?"
"I'm not. But, Edward, I thought you were here on business. This is not where you live. I'm not too keen on leaving Alice and Rose to travel to your home, wherever it is. I'm sure it's out of state. How can you expect me to fly back and forth?"
"I don't. Since we are moving forward, I've taken it upon myself to live and work from here. My company has many headquarters around the world. I do have a home here, with a very nice guestroom. I've already started prepping it. Of course, you will not have to pack every time you decide to spend the weekend with me. The room will be fully stocked with your things, which will always be there for you when you come to visit."
"Wait, you just bought a home?"
"No. I've always had it. It just stays dormant most of the time, since I only come here for a few days on business and a hotel is easier and more convenient. Plus, it gets lonely. Being in a rather large home, with no one there, besides myself, makes the silence all the more eerie."
I felt a hint of pity for him. No one deserved to be alone like that. Why had he become so alone? He had enough money to buy anyone.
"But of course, I'm hoping that's something you can help me resolve. It's a very nice home. It's in Cliff Hill." Oh my I knew that was an exclusive wealthy area. Really, people could only dream of living there. Especially people like me.
"I'm sure it is. I don't doubt that it is."
"Maybe I could give you a tour. It is a place I would like you to feel comfortable in. If not, I could always get another."
I shook my head violently. "No, Edward, of course not. I'm sure its fine. I'm not going to make you get a new home. A tour, though, that would be nice.
He smiled, "It's nothing. It's just a house."
"It's your house, obviously you would not have it if you didn't like it."
"There are always more houses for sale."
I laughed, "not everything is for sale when you want it to be."
He laughed back at me, "that's a matter of opinion. So you are ok with staying a few nights with me, and eventually staying permanently if we progress to that point?"
"Well, for now I'm ok with the few nights. Like a weekend. But I still want to be able to spend time with Alice and Rose. I don't know about permanent arrangements."
"You will have personal days, you can always take time to visit them whenever you want to as long as you let me know in advance."
"Whenever I want," I repeated.
"Yes," he said smiling, "whenever you want, but within reason Bella. I don't mind you going for visits, or even having them come down for a visit. But I expect to have my time with you as well. So as long as you are not getting up and leaving every other day then I see no problem with you going down for visits."
I nodded. It seemed fair. "Ok Edward, I guess we can see how it goes."
His little smile reached his eyes and he got this glint in his eyes. "Thank you, for being so agreeable."
The waiter came rolling a cart of the dishes we had ordered to our table. He smiled stiffly and looked at me. "Was everything satisfactory Miss?" I look up at him and then at Edward who just stared at me with a smirk.
"Um, yes," I said looking down at the table.
"Can I take your finished dishes, or are you still working on yours?"
I nodded to him, "yes you can take it, thank you very much."
"My pleasure," he smiled at me. Edward never thanked the waiter as he took his finished bowl of soup, just simply looked the other way and waved him away. I almost said something, but decided against it when I saw the glare he gave the waiter as he scurried away.
Instead I looked at the many wonderful dishes that were laid before us. The smell was amazing. I couldn't help digging into the first dish in front of me. Chicken chow mein. I scooped some up from the main dish with my fork and placed it on my plate.
"Hungry?" Edward chuckled. I actually was. The soup had wet my appetite for more solid foods.
I smiled, "yes, it smells wonderful."
He looked to be thinking about something, as he grinned at me. But he seemed to let it go as he picked up the serving spoon to the walnut shrimp and put a few pieces on his plate. For a moment we just sat in silence, eating and enjoying the meal. It was actually nice to sit and eat in silence. I gathered he felt the same as he too was concentrated on devouring the food on his plate.
After a little bit, Edward looked up, poured himself another glass of wine and took a sip. He pushed his empty plate away from him, and straightened his tie. Why did he always have to be so proper? So elegant. Maybe that's what money did to people.
I too sat up straight and pushed my plate away, smiling at him. There was something about having a nice warm meal in your stomach that just made everything so much better. I could think back to when even a small piece of bread in the trashcan was gold. How my life had changed.
I felt a warm feeling. Like the day when the nice man had brought me a warm pastry. He had such gorgeous eyes. Gorgeous face. I wondered where he was. I wondered who he was.
"Are you ok Bella?"
Edward's voice yanked me from my thoughts. I looked up to meet his eyes. His green eyes were staring back at me, with a smile on his lips.
"What?" I said in a daze.
"Are you ok? You seem to be off somewhere."
"Oh no," I snorted a laugh. "Sorry, I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"Someone, I met a while ago," I smiled again. He looked at me, leaned forward, waiting for me to say more. "It's nothing. They were very kind to me when I was having a rough time in life. I remember how it feels to be hungry. The meal tonight was so nice. I'm just rambling. I'm sorry."
"It's ok," he grinned, "I believe no one should have to go hungry. And if someone is in a position to do something nice for one who doesn't have much then they should. Even if it's just buying them, oh, say a pastry."
I immediately looked at him with wide eyes. He just smiled. "It's just an example Bella. I'm sure it was their privilege to help you."
"Yeah…" This was too weird. It couldn't be….. him, right? I mean, if it was he would have told me. Right?
He cleared his throat and sat up straight again. "Is everything else in the contact ok with you? I have a few notes here of what you do not want, and things you want added. So besides what we have talked about, is there any other changes?"
"Um," I said looking down at the contact and flipping through the pages. "Well, no, not that I can see."
"So again and to be sure, you are ok with moving in?"
"Moving in?" I said in a daze. Edward sighed and gave me a stern look.
"Contract," he pointed to the papers in front of me.
"Oh." Why was I so out of it? This was not professional. I sat up straight and looked down at the contract. "Yes, moving in. I thought we could see how things work out first before I decide on that one."
"Well, of course. I know you would not be moving in with me, unless we worked out. But if there is a steady progression, and we are still together, I would need to know that you are at least willing to move in. Call it a goal. A goal I would like us to work towards."
"Yes, Yes I feel I would be willing if everything works out and stuff."
"Very good," he folded the contract and placed it in his jacket pocket, along with the small notepad and pen. "I will have a modified contact to you by tomorrow, one that you can look over again and sign."
"I can sign this one, no big deal. I mean the signing sheet will be the same. I'll just sign it now." Edward looked taken aback.
"Bella," he paused, "I'd rather you take another day to think about this. And I would rather you wait for the final contact."
"I trust you Edward. I trust you will modify the contract correctly, but I can still sign it now."
"It's not about me modifying the contract correctly, Bella, it's about you taking some time to make sure again that this is what you want to do. I am asking for a great deal of your time, your loyalty, and obedience to me."
"I understand Edward. I've made my decision." Edward looked at me again. I could see hunger in his eyes. Lust.
"Very well, Isabella," he said in a deep voice that made it sound like he would pounce on me any second. He slowly reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out the pen he had been using, and handed it to me. He held a dark smile, as I reached and took it from his grasp.
I flipped to the last page and looked at the line for my signature. Edward was completely still. He looked as if he was holding in his breath just waiting for me to sign myself over to him. I put the pen to the paper and signed my name on the line. I licked my dry lips, swallowed hard and handed the papers to Edward so he could verify my signature.
He took it slowly, a smile spreading across his lips. He held it as if it were gold. He flipped to the page where I had signed and looked at it intently, as if he could not believe it was truly there.
"Now what?" I asked laughing awkwardly. He looked up at me with that lustful look again.
"Thank you Isabella. Now you are mine. You have made me a very happy man, and I will take care to make you a very happy woman."
I laughed, "It's my job to make sure you're a happy man Edward, not the other way around."
"I disagree," he grinned, "part of a man's happiness is having a happy woman. Haven't you heard the saying, happy wife happy life?"
I laughed again, "well, I'm not your wife, but I'm sure I'll be happy Edward. You are a very generous man."
He looked at me again with his memorizing eyes just beaming at me. "Generous? Hmm, no one has ever said that to me before."
"You're kidding," I laughed. "How could they not? I can see that you are generous in just the short time I have known you." He just smirked at me.
"Let's celebrate our companionship over some dessert. There is still some daylight left. Its only 5:50."
I gave him a strange look, "I didn't know Asian restaurants served dessert."
"You are right, they usually don't. This one doesn't. But there is a pastry shop up the street. Do you like pastries? They have some of the best."
"You are just full of surprises Mr. Cullen, aren't you?" I giggled, "and yes I do like pastries. It sounds good."
"Excellent," he smiled as he motioned for the check. I felt butterflies in my stomach as Edward and I left the restaurant. It was a new chapter in my life. Something I had never done before. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him placing a quick kiss on the side of my forehead. I blushed as I looked at the ground. He showed me affection so easily in public. I had a feeling it would take me a little bit more time to do it as easily as he did; especially in public. "This is going to be a wonderful relationship Bella."
"I know you will be good to me Edward." I also hoped I made the right decision.
"I'm going to show you my world Bella. So few have entered it, but it will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. There are few who enjoy the privileges that I do, but I am happy to expose and share them with you." I was excited. I didn't want to show it too much, but I was really excited to be with Edward. I knew he felt that I chose him, but I couldn't help feeling that it was he who chose me. I was so ordinary, and he was a billionaire. He could have anyone, but he chose me.
When I got in his car, he stood by the passenger's door, leaned over me and fastened my seatbelt good and tight. Then he placed another quick kiss on my lips. "I want you to be safe baby girl." Edward seemed so relaxed now that I had signed the contract. Like he was free. Instead of holding back or reserving himself, he now was more forward than ever in expressing himself. It was a pretty quick transformation. As I said, I felt it would take me a little more time to warm up.
It was a quick drive, just as Edward had said, the shop was right around the corner. We got there in no time at all. I immediately recognized it. It was the same parking lot I had been in with the kind stranger, in fact it was the same expensive French pastry shop. I looked Edward again. He just ginned, "let's celebrate. Ready?"
I cleared my throat and nodded, "yes." When walking up to the shop Edward reached down and grabbed my hand intertwining his fingers between mine. His grip was warm, but frim. "This looks like a nice shop," I said smiling at him. Although I was feeling a little uneasy. Everything we did tonight had reminded me of nothing but that stranger. But it was a while ago, he was probably long gone.
"It is. It's one of the best. You'll see." He held the door open for me as I walked in.
A big fat jolly man with an Italian accent immediately shouted at Edward, "Ah, Mr. Cullen. Pretty late today. I normally see you in the morning eh?" He walked up to Edward and patted him on the back, "but show is better than no show eh? What can we get for you?"
"Something this lovely lady would like," he said looking at me with a soft smile.
"Ah, Bella," he said looking at me, "beautiful," he said kissing his fingers and flinging them in the air.
"Yes she is. Perfect name for her." I blushed deeply, to which Edward just grinned and pulled me up to the counter with him. "What looks good?"
It all looked good to be honest. It was all so delicate. Each pastry was a work of colorful art. Chocolate cakes with raspberry puree drippled over the top, fruit tarts with cream, lemon tarts, croissants with strawberry or chocolate filling, cheesecakes, sweet breads with cream filling, the list went on and on. I could barely chose.
The jolly man bent down next to us, "what are you looking for, I can help you. Something in particular? Something special?"
"Oh yes, something very special," Edward said in a velvet voice.
He clapped his hands once, "what's the occasion?" He gave Edward a sly grin and elbowed him, "engagement?" I blushed even deeper at the thought and smiled at the man. I assumed he took that as a yes and he bellowed out a laugh.
"Something like that," Edward smirked.
"No no no," he said waving his arms, "say no more, it's on the house!" He clapped his hands again, and kissed Edward on the cheek. He then motioned to the women behind the counter, "ladies, ladies, give this lovely couple whatever they want to try. Consider it my gift. A very special gift, for a very special couple."
Edward nodded to the man, with a thank you. He leaned into me and whispered in my ear "what do you want Bella? What looks good?"
"Um, well, I like strawberry. So maybe a strawberry croissant?" He smiled at me and ordered it. He also got one cherry pastry as well. The ladies individually bound each one and handed them to Edward. Edward didn't pay, but he left a tip, which might as well had paid for the pastries. He thanked the jolly man as we entered into the outside where a cool evening breeze greeted us.
Edward stood in front of me and handed me my pastry. "I hope you didn't feel too uncomfortable in there."
"No not at all," I laughed, "he was nice." It was a little uncomfortable, but I wasn't going to admit it.
Edward smiled, and placed a stray curl behind me ear, "you are cute when you get shy."
I rolled my eyes, "I wasn't that shy."
Edward grabbed both my arms with his hands and pulled me close to him, "first of all, Bella, please don't roll your eyes at me," I immediately looked at the ground. I felt in trouble already. Edward snorted a quick chuckled, "and second, yes you were, I could see it all over your blushing face."
"Sorry," I mumbled out.
He cupped my chin and lifted it, "be sorry for nothing. Bella, this is all new. Please don't feel put out or embarrassed when I correct you. There will be many times I'm sure where I will have to correct you, and perhaps times where you might correct me, respectfully and with limits of course. Do you understand?"
"Yes," I said with a small smile. I understood, but I thought he was a little harsh.
"There's my good girl." He kissed my forehead. "By the way, this place has a special meaning. It's why I brought you here."
"Oh?" I said. I knew it was him! I knew it! It had to be!
"Yes, it does. It's a symbol of our union. Our first moments together, happened here." He smiled, and avoided the questioning look I had on my face. I wanted to ask him. The thing was I felt he knew, while at the same time wondering if I knew. While at the same time, I felt I knew, and wondered if he knew. It was confusing. "Let's eat," Edward said opening up his pastry.
I smiled and opened mine as well.
"To a new chapter and happy memories together," he said as he took a bit. I nodded with a smile.
"May they be many," I bit into the warm crispy pastry. I couldn't help the moan that escaped as the delicious strawberry cream hit my tongue with a burst of flavor.
"mmm," Edward said as he licked his fingers that had some cherry filling running down them. I licked my lips wondering what it would be like if I licked them for him. So I grabbed his hand and put his finger in my mouth and sucked it, licking it with my tongue. I was right, it was a amazing, especially with the cherry flavor on them. Edward just stood there, his eyes widening a little at the jester. It was nice to catch him off guard every once in a while. To surprise the great Edward Cullen. "Oh Bella," he said watching me as I sucked each of his fingers, "you know I have to take you home tonight. Do you have to torture me so?" He grinned at me.
He then took his hand out of my mouth, closed the small distance between us and locked his lips on mine. I could feel his tongue glide across my bottom lip as I opened my mouth for him to enter. His tongue poked and massaged my mine, as our lips sucked each other in. Edward growled a little as he pulled me tighter into him, his kiss getting more aggressive. But I liked it. I liked his control.
He pulled his lips away and quickly moved down my neck to my shoulder placing small kisses on my skin as he did. I nearly dropped the small pastry in my hand as I felt him harden through his pants. I gasped at the feeling, it was big. Oh goodness was it big.
"I want you," he whispered in my ear, "You can feel it. I have always wanted you, since the moment I saw you. And now, I finally have you." He breathed in my scent, as I placed a soft kiss on his warm neck. "I should take you home," he said huskily.
"You don't have to," I whispered grabbing his tie to keep him close. He placed his hands on mine.
"Yes I do. I can't take you to my place Bella, it's not fair to you."
"It's not fair to you either," I said putting my leg between his and hitting his erection. "I want to please you." Edward looked down and smirked.
"You do please me. In time you will please me in other ways, but not tonight. When that moment comes, it will be perfect. And you will be ready."
"I'm ready now."
"No you're not. You are still very shy around me Bella. I want you to be comfortable and overflowing with pleasure when I take you."
"But what better way to celebrate our union then to honor it the way we would a wedding. After all, we are a couple." Edward eyes glided down my body taking me all in.
"I'm a lucky man," he smiled, "but the answer is still no tonight, despite you being very persuasive and persistent. Don't worry little one, it will come sooner than you think. I don't imagine I can keep my hands to myself for too much longer."
"Alight," I whispered. But I felt a little rejected.
"Don't do that," he said taking my face in his hands, "don't pout like that. Then I'll have to do you tonight. Please, help me keep my self-control tonight. Let me take you home unmolested. Tomorrow, you will come to my home and I will give you that tour." He grinned at me, raising a brow.
I smiled at my dirty thoughts. I would like a tour of his lower regions.
"Ok," I said smiling at him, "take me home then." He looked at me for a moment. Oh, yes the ordering around. Big no no. "Please, can you take me home Edward?"
He then smiled widely like I accomplished some sort of trick, "you are getting faster at reading me Bella. Yes, I will take you home now." I was starting to pick up on how much Edward hated being ordered around. It really did make him angry. I laughed to myself. At least I knew how to push one of his buttons.
We had wrapped up our pastries and walked to his car. Edward started the engine with a loud rumble and turned out onto the main road. He reached over and grabbed my hand bringing it to his lips. "I really enjoyed you tonight Bella."
I truly enjoyed him tonight as well. I was officially a Sugar Baby. It was nice being with Edward. It just felt right. He was a little controlling at times, but nothing I felt was over the top. I liked Edward too much to let it get in the way of the relationship.
"I had a really good time with you too Edward. Thank you for the evening."
"You look so beautiful. I'm pained to let you go tonight. I really wish to take you with me. I wish we were driving back to my place, where I could hold you for the night."
"You could just keep driving Edward. You don't have to stop at my place." Edward pulled into my driveway. Somehow I knew he would stick to what he said no matter what I said.
He turned to look at me, "goodnight Isabella." And there it was. Never failed.
"Goodnight Edward," I turned to open the door but it was locked. I looked at Edward to unlock it but he just sat there staring me. I smiled at him as he got a devious looking smirk on his lips.
"Screw it," he said as we drove off, my home getting smaller and smaller in the distance. Well, I guess maybe sometimes it failed.
So there you have it. Please let me know what you all think. Review. This contract looked very similar to my own contract, so if any of you are wondering what one looks like, that's an example. Not exact, but close.
Any questions you have about the story, please let me know. Ask. And I'll do my best to answer them with the next update.
The Doctor Rose: Sorry for the cliff-hanger lol. I'm a fan of them.
Guest: Hey! I got a kick out of the fact that you introduced your friend to her fiancé by way of a sugar daddy. I have to say that a sugar daddy was the last place I expected to find love, but hey it happens. Congrats. And as far as you being too afraid to put your work and writings out there, I totally understand. I get it. But at the same time it's nice to share. More happiness in giving. The fear is there for me too, but the feeling I get out of having you lovely people read my work trumps it. Lol. Keep reading. Thank you.
en-mi-corazon-para-siempre: Thank you for reading. I know you have been impatiently waiting, but I'm glad to have you.
All of you thank you for reading! If you get a moment, review.
