Chapter: 11

I look right at her and she seems stunned. I frown a little, not understanding her reaction. It's not like we haven't shared a bed before. Granted, Bella was out for the count much before me most of the time, but it's still no reason to look so shocked. I curl my lip, over my bottom teeth and keep looking at her.

Her cell rings making her jump, she takes it out and her face pales.

"It's Renee again."

I nod at her. "Put her on speaker."

Bella nods and answers her cell. "Hello, Mo—"

Bella doesn't even get to complete her hello, Renee simply starts to talk in a very snobbish manner.

"I called you earlier! Where were you that you were too busy to take my call? Never mind, no matter. Phil has a special off-season game in Seattle.

"I just know this going to be his turning point. They're all going to see just how great he is. I need you to come to the game, too. No excuses, Isabella! Apparently, having a family is good for a baseball player of his age. Anyway, we will stay with you. All the good hotels are booked, and there is no way I'll be seen in that shabby hotel where his team is staying. You have to pick us up Monday at six in the evening at the airport. Wear something nice, so you don't embarrass me. See you then… kiss, kiss."

I look at Bella's cell; a little taken aback that not once did Renee ask Bella how she is. Apart from the hello and m-o, of mom, Bella was unable to say a word before Renee disconnected the call.

I open and close my mouth a few times really unsure of what to say, or even what to make of the call. "But you can't drive," I blurt out.

Not the first thing I would've chosen to say, but it seems to just come out.

Bella nods, her eyes sad. "I know, and I think Renee has forgotten that fact, yet again."

I sigh and pull her to me. "I'm so sorry, love." Because Bella's so close to me, I can feel her heartbeat pick up when I call her love. "I'll pick them up with you, and it's fine for them to stay here." Bella looks at me and seems to be really unsure. "I swear it'll be fine." I kiss her forehead.

"Now, are you going to share a bed with me, love?" Again I feel Bella's heartbeat race at the term of endearment, and it makes me wonder if she's ever had someone tell her they love her.

"I would like that, but I'm ... I can't … I just don't …"

I shake my head at her, stopping her stuttering. "I know you're not ready, my beautiful girl. I would just like you close to me tonight and we'll take the rest of the nights as they come, okay?" She nods her smile more natural. "Come on, let's get to bed."

I lead her to her room, kissing her forehead again as I let her go in to get changed. I walk back into mine and quickly change, putting on some cotton boxers. I glance at the mirror as I walk to my bedroom door, and I'm a little surprised to find a huge grin on my face. I shake my head at myself and open the door to find Bella standing there biting her lip. I scan her body, and see that she's in a tank and boy shorts. I chuckle, seeing that they have a bear on them. I look her in the eyes and grin.

"You look lovely, Beautiful, come on in." Bella walks in, and I watch as she seems to be a little shaky and nervous. I turn her to look at me. "You can say no and go back to your own bed; I promise I won't be upset with you. I'll be more upset if you do this and later I find that you didn't want to."

Bella smiles at me. "I want to. It's just, I've never ... only those times that you looked after me and I was sleeping and didn't know until I woke up ..."

I smile, amused at her rambling. "We'll just lie down and talk. I want you, I won't lie about that, but I want you to want it, too. Your body language and your words will tell us both when it's time to go further."

Bella nods at me and I pull her to my bed, which is almost exactly like the one in the playroom, but without the riggings built in.

Once were are lying down and I look down on her. "Tell me why you wanted to skip class today, Beautiful."

Bella looks at me and sighs. "The class is boring. I really wish I had a better answer than that, but I don't. It's just… I swear I try to pay attention, but honestly, the professor isn't teaching me anything I haven't already learned or read before." Bella closes her mouth and eyes, groaning. "No wonder people think I'm a stuck up."

I shake my head at her. "No, you only told me how you felt."

Bella sighs again. "I'm sorry, I promise not to do it again."

I place my hand on her face and I stoke her cheek lightly. "It's okay, Bella. I always want your honesty. I'm not going to make you go to class and sit through something that bores you. The important thing is that you called and asked me first. As long as you keep me in the loop, I'll be fine with what you decide."

Normally, if one of my submissives were at college or taking a class, I would make sure they attended, but I know she hates what she's doing. I'd rather see her happy and making her choices for what is right for her and her future.

Bella looks into my eyes and I see something flash in them. "If I ask you something, will you be honest with me? Don't try to spare my feelings, please."

I'm a little worried about what she going to ask, but I nod in agreement anyway. "I will always be honest with you as your boyfriend, your Dom, your friend, and eventually as your lover."

I see the slight blush, but she nods at me. "Do you think by getting my law degree it will make Charlie proud of me?"

I sigh, shaking my head at her. "No, I don't. I'm sorry, sweet girl, I really am. He should be damn proud to have you as a daughter, no matter what you chose to do as an adult. I hate that he's hurt you so much." I look down at her cheek, seeing the bruise there and softly kiss it once. "The only thing that's stopping me from killing him for this mark on your face is I know that it would hurt you in the end. I can't endure the thought of causing you that kind of pain."

"I was thinking, that maybe I'd get a degree in teaching instead of law. I'm not sure yet, but I like what I do at the center with the kids. There's one or two that like to dance, but the schools around here won't take them, because they have disabilities."

I nod at her and smile. "That sounds good. Let me know or talk to me whenever you need to decide."

"I will, thank you," Bella says leaning closer and placing a kiss on my cheek like she normally does. "What about you? Do you have anything you want to talk about?"

I chuckle and wink at her. "Well, I have this amazing friend, she's very beautiful and I always call her that, and she's made me the happiest person tonight. She did this all by saying that she would be my girlfriend and submissive. I'm a little worried, because she has no idea how persuasive and controlling I can be. I hope that she won't run if I come on too strong, or am too controlling. I don't want to see her hurt, even by me, and I hope she knows that."

Bella smiles at me and nods. "She knows that you'll only do what's best for her. She has her safe words if she's unsure or worried about anything."

I kiss her lips, pleased that she truly seems to understand.

Bella and I spend the next hour talking about different things, relaxing and enjoying each other's company. It wasn't much later when she puts her head on my shoulder we fall silent. I run my fingers through her long, loose hair, nuzzling her as we hold each other.

"I've never had a real Christmas dinner before," she suddenly comments, breaking the quiet atmosphere. "Renee would always forget, and she doesn't like turkey anyway." Bella stops and yawns, blinking sleepily. "Charlie—well, he always went to work in the morning before I got up, and afterward he would go to Sue's." Bella stops to yawn again, but her eyes remain closed when she starts to talk again. "He would always run late and never had time to pick me up first, but it was okay because I would've had to sit at the table with Leah otherwise. Anytime I had to be around her, she always told me I was fat and ugly." Bella's words become slurred at the end, but I was still able to make them out.

I close my eyes, feeling the pain for her and knowing there's really not much I can do about her past Christmases. However, I will be making sure this upcoming one is everything she could ever want or desire.

The week flies by, Bella has spent every night in my bed, which is slowly becoming our bed. Thankfully, Bella hasn't run into Jacob again on campus. I still pick her up and drop her off every day, and she now has lunch in Jasper's office. Jenks called and told me that Jacob's still showing as attending at the other college. After looking in to it more, it seems that Brady and some of the other boys have been making it look as if he was still there. This has put me a little on edge trying to figure out why they're covering his tracks so much, which makes me believe that he's planning to set Bella up in some way.

I'm glad when Friday finally comes.

Not only is this Bella's and my first day as Dom and submissive, but she doesn't have any classes today. I've been looking forward to this, but I'm still worried about it. I walk down to the kitchen seeing it's a quarter to seven.

"Good morning, Beautiful," I say and she smiles at me. I chuckle a little at the excitement I see in her eyes. "Come over here and sit," I say patting the seat next to mine. "We are still Beautiful and Edward, until I tell you otherwise."

Still smiling, she leans in and kisses my cheek. I lightly peck her lips in return and caress her cheek.

"Since you wear these all the time," I say stroking the leather on her wrists. "I've gotten you new ones to wear when we're having our Dom submissive weekends," I say taking off the bracelets. "These," I say pointing to the closed box, "are temporary. I do plan on collaring you in a ceremony as soon as our training is done. Do you understand?"

Bella look down at the box and nods. "Yes, I understand. May I ask something?" I nod, silently motioning for her to continue. "Can I wear these, the rest of the time? I like having them on," she continues pointing to the ones I just removed.

"Yes, as long as you keep in mind that these are the ones you wear when you are my submissive throughout training."

"I will, I swear I will."

I watch as her eyes go to my lips then she looks back into my eyes. "When we are Beautiful and Edward, you can kiss me anytime you wa—"

I'm cut off by Bella kissing me. I chuckle and then kiss her back. I run my hand down her back, before pulling away and leaning my forehead against hers.

"Kneel, Little Girl," I order, and I watch as the submissive in her immediately takes over.

Bella kneels in front of me, arms folded behind her back and head down facing the floor. "Little Girl, are you willing to serve me this weekend and allow me to control you?" Bella keeps looking down, and I smile. "You may answer me, Little Girl."

"Yes, Sir, your girl wants to serve you and have you control her." I smile and run my hand down her hair again.

"Give me your wrists."

Bella holds her arms up to me and I place her new bracelets on her wrists. I bought them along with the first pair I gave her, just in case.

"You, Little Girl, are mine for this weekend." I see a faint smile on Bella's face and I know she wants to say something.

"I can see that gorgeous smile on your face, Little Girl. Why don't you tell your Sir what that is about? You may speak freely."

"Sir, your girl will always belong to you in every way."

I close my eyes and my heart races at her words.

"Stand," I command firmly.

She stands up right away, keeping her face down and eyes directed at the floor.

"Sit down on the chair you normally sit in and I will tell you what I expect from you today."

Bella sits down and I gaze at her, tilting my head when I notice she's changed just a little, enough to see it by the eye. I smile knowing that she has adapted herself to become my submissive, my Little Girl. Yes, she's going to be so good at this. All her reading has paid off, and will continue to pay off for a lifetime.

"I'll give simple commands for you to follow. Today you'll wear what I have placed on your bed. Every meal will be served to me in the dining room. I'll tell you at each meal if you are to join me or not."

This is the normal way I would start out with a new submissive; it always takes a weekend or two before playroom activities become a part of our weekends. It will be at least another few weeks before sex is involved. A lot of people seem to think we meet, do a contract, and then fuck each other like rabbits, but it's not true. Just like with our dating relationship, things need to be built up. Everything is a learning experience for us both as we go. Trust needs to be there and it takes a little bit. A Dom and submissive relationship can develop quicker than a normal dating one, mainly because they tend to spend full weekends together from the moment they make an arrangement.

Bella being new and with no experiences, needs to develop her feelings first, so full-on sex is weeks off. The more I think of it, the more I'd like our first time together to be as Bella and Edward. I want her to be free to feel everything, and above all, I want all of her. Besides, I really enjoy kissing and developing things the way I have been the past few weeks. We're building a house on a strong foundation that will withstand against everything Mother Nature throws at it; it's what I believe will make a lasting relationship.

I look at her sitting silent but alert, waiting for her next command.

It makes me smile. "I will be in the dining room waiting for my breakfast. Please get changed before serving me. I expect to see you in no more than ten minutes."

I stand and walk out of the room, heading straight for the dining room.

About eight minutes later I look to my dining room door to see Bella quietly kneeling. "Stand and enter, Little Girl." Bella stands, her movements always so graceful. She enters swiftly and serves me in the correct way. She kneels at my feet and awaits further instruction.

"Please go and plate up your breakfast, Little Girl, and then join me at the table." Bella kisses the tops of my feet, before moving swiftly out of the room. I chuckle shaking my head. She really has taken everything in. It only takes Bella a few moments before she comes back with her plate. I tell her to come right in and motion for her to sit on my right side.

"I would like to go shopping this morning. You will need clothes when you are with me as my submissive." Bella's face pales, but she doesn't say anything. I still notice her change of demeanor and I need to address it. "Problem, Little Girl?"

Bella goes to shake her head, but then reluctantly nods.

"Tell me."

Bella takes a breath and then speaks softly. "Sir, your girl is trying very hard and knows that you want to care for her, and buy her things. But, she still finds it strange to have someone who wants to buy her things just because they want to. She needs Sir to know she is very grateful and will try harder not to always freak out by Sir's generosity."

I smile at her, nodding in understanding. "Little Girl, I know you struggle, and I will help you by not spending as much as I really want on you. I'll give you few weeks, but then I will be taking you out as my girlfriend, and there will be no limits to how much I'll spend on you that day." I wink at her and see her faint blush appearing.

Bella's already dressed in the light summer dress I had set out for her, so we head straight out after we finish our breakfast and everything is cleaned up. I'm very proud of how fast and efficient she is in her cleaning.

Before we leave the house, I tilt her head up to look at me. "You may answer all of my direct questions, but other than that, you will await permission to speak while we are out. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Sir."

We walk to the car and I open her door, helping her in and buckling her seatbelt. I smile as I watch her sitting in the car with her head angled down and hands folded neatly in her lap. I get in and drive off to Aro's shop.

When we arrive, I park the car and turn to speak to Bella. "This is Aro's place. I've brought you here before when we got your books, remember?"

"Yes, Sir, your girl remembers."

I smile at hearing the slight worry behind her words.

"It'll only be Dominants, Dominatrixes and submissives in there, so you are okay to call me Sir, it'll be similar to being at the club."

I look at her face as she calms a little. "If you get worried or feel uncomfortable tap my arm three times. Apart from Aro and me, you're not to speak to anyone. I would like your head up while we are looking for things for you. If you see anything that strikes your interest at all, I want you to show it to me and I will approve if you are allowed to try it on. Do understand what I expect from you?"

"Yes, Sir, your girl understands."

I smile at her. "Let's go and shop."

I get out of my car, walk around to Bella's side and help her out. I watch her closely as we approach the shop, she takes a few deep breaths and I can see her lips move. I pay closer attention and hear her repeating the same words over and over again.

"Sir's girl will not fail, Sir is beside her."

I ring the bell and smile, Bella seems happier and calmer as the green light shows. I walk us in and take her to the clothes.

I look through the clothes and pick up some things that I like. I smile when Bella shows me a couple of things as well, and I agree to let her try them on.

I sit on the plush bench inside the private dressing room as Bella puts on the clothes behind the screen and then models them for me. She is down to only a few things, when she suddenly stops and looks at me.

"What's wrong, Little Girl?"

Bella blushes and she bites her lip. "Sir, your girl is not sure about putting on the pants that are next in the pile to try on."

I tilt my head looking at the pants and then back to her. "Why?"

She blushes more, but answers promptly. "Sir, your girl doesn't have panties on, that's not really hygienic."

I swallow hard and she pales.

"Sir told his girl to wear what was on the bed. Since there were no panties, your girl thought Sir didn't want her to wear them. Was your girl incorrect?"

I chuckle, shaking my head. "No, you did what I asked. I meant to put some out for you, I'm sorry. Wait right here."

I turn and go to and pick up a brand new pair of panties so she can try on the other stuff. I turn to go back and see Aro chuckling at me.

"Remind me who the rookie is?"

I roll my eyes at him and walk back over to Bella.

"I like these and you can use them to try the bottoms on, but after we are done, I would like them back." Bella blushes again and she nods. "What are you waiting for, Little Girl?" I say with a tap to her bottom. Bella shows me the rest of the stuff and hands me back the panties. When she does I make a show of smelling them, before putting them into my pocket, Bella's blush shows right up.

"We'll take all of this," I say placing everything down on the counter.

Aro nods and turns to talk to Bella. "How are you doing, Sweet girl?"

Bella looks to me and I nod, giving her permission to speak.

"I'm very good. Thank you, Sir Aro." I smile and give her arm a squeeze.

"Sulpicia was wondering if you're planning to attend her support group; it's on every Wednesday night."

Bella looks sad and disappointed, and then I realize she has dance rehearsals for the Christmas show.

"Sadly, she won't be able to join until after the Christmas show," I tell him.

Aro nods in understanding. "I'm sure we can come up with a day Sulpicia could have lunch with you until then."

Bella smiles and looks at me with hope.

"I'll call tonight when I have our planners in front of me."

"Very well," Aro says, handing over our purchases. "I'll add this to your account."

I pick up the bags and lead Bella out.

I observe Bella from the corner of my eye. I want very much to push and see how far I can take the no panties rule.

"What are your colors Little Girl?"

Bella looks at me confused for a moment, and then speaks. "Sir, your girl's safe colors are Green, which means keep going. Yellow, which means your girl is worried or things need to slow down a little. And there is red, which means stop, Sir."

"What color are you now?"

Bella smiles at me. "Your girl is green, Sir."

I step toward Bella putting my hand around her neck and stroke her cheek with my thumb. My other arm lies loosely along Bella's side.

"If I were to take you to lunch," I ask as my other hand runs up the side of Bella's thigh, bringing her dress up a little, but not enough that anyone can see.

Bella's blush appears again. "Sir, your girl would still be green; she trusts Sir to look after her."

I smile and drop her dress placing my hand on her back bringing her closer to me.

"You are pleasing me very much, my good girl," I say as I caress her plump ass cheek when she gets in the car. I lean in and kiss her softly right below her ear. "Such a beautiful good girl," I whisper huskily, knowing this tone is like pure sex to her senses.

I go around and get into the car. "There's a place I'd like to take you to," I say, looking at her before driving off. I glance at Bella and I see that she is trying to calm herself and not because she is nervous. I can smell how turned on she is.

"It will come, Little Girl," I say and hold back a chuckle when her blush appears. "I really love your blush, and love the fact I can predict if I can get it to appear." If proving my point, her blush darkens.

I pull up to the top spa in Seattle. I get out and help Bella out.

"We'll go out for lunch after we're done in here."

I walk in and Vicky comes straight over to me. "Edward, darling." She leans in and gives me a European kiss, before looking at Bella. "And who is this beauty?"

I smile at Bella. "Vicky, this is my submissive and girlfriend, Bella. Bella this is Vicky."

Vicky looks at me a little shocked. "Why?" Bella drops her head and Vicky carries on talking.

"I mean, really girl, why are you with his old ass?" Vicky walks around Bella, eyeing her up.

"This is the girl Frank and his pet have been talking about? You're one lucky sonofabitch, Edward. Not only did you get one of the best looking girlfriends, but she's clearly one of the better submissives as well," Vicky sighs and shakes her head. "It's very good to meet you, sweetie."

Bella looks at me, and I know by the look on her face that she finds Vicky amusing. I nod to give permission to respond to her.

"It's nice to meet you, too, Vicky," Bella greets her with a soft voice.

Victoria smiles at her, and then looks up at me. "I take it you're here to get Bella put on my books?"

I nod at her. "Please."

Vicky starts to move to her office, and once we are inside she sits down. "Okay, take a seat, Bella."

Bella looks to me unsure, there are only two seats and Vicky has taken the other. I sit on the seat and tap my lap for Bella to sit on it, which she does right away.

"Vicky is a Dom and a submissive, but she likes to have complete control in her spa and that includes over other Doms. In a way, it's a good thing as she makes sure the submissives in her care for their time here, are all safe."

Bella nods at me.

"So, Bella, what's your care plan, for inside the spa?"

Again, Bella looks to me to guide her.

"I would like Bella to be seen once a week, on a Thursday at six. She'll need a full wax, massage, manicure, and pedicure."

Vicky nods and smiles at me.

"What about hair?"

I shake my head and pout. "Her hair is long, very long and I would like to keep it that way."

Vicky sighs and stands up. "Bella, could you take your hair down?"

Bella bites her lip and I wink at her. "Here let me help." I slowly unravel her hair and it all falls down her back.

"Wow, that is really long hair, and very thick. Do you get a lot of headaches, Bella?"

Bella looks to me and I nod.

"Some, not very many, but more so when Sir's girl is stressed or worried about something."

Vicky nods. "Four inches, every six months."

I glare at Vicky. "Two," I counter.

"Edward, her hair will grow back and it's very long. What I'm saying will help it become very healthy and in the long run, it'll be better. Have I ever steered you wrong? Trust me."

I let out a sigh and nod my head. "Agreed, four inches cut off, every six months, but no more than that."

Vicky rolls her eyes at me. "Men and long hair; you know it's just so they've got something to pull while they fuck a girl," she mutters out while writing in her books.

I can see that Bella's trying hard to hold back a laugh.

"I can't do six on Thursdays; you can have eight or three?" I tilt my head and she explains. "Tanya's in at half past five until half past seven. I swear little Miss Princess Bitch, is really starting to piss me off, but that's my problem. However, she has made one or two comments these past few weeks, and I would rather keep new girls away from that kind of bitchiness."

I nod at her, understanding that Tanya's been talking about my beauty and me. I'll need to call Vicky later to find out everything.

"Eight or three, which should it be, Little Girl?" Bella bites her lip looking at me to give her the answer. "I think I'd like her to come in at three, as it will give us the rest of the night together."

Bella nods in agreement and then Vicky writes it in her books.

"Okay, well that's it. We're all set up. I'll get your account up and running again."

I tap Bella's arm giving her the silent command to stand up. "Thank you, Vicky."

Vicky smiles at me and then looks at Bella. "If you get tired of his old ass, call me," she says as she hands her number to my girl.

I glare at Vicky.

"Oh, don't pout, Edward. I will see your girl every Thursday from now on."

I shake my head at Vicky, who is grinning widely.

I guide Bella out of the office, but then hear Vicky calling out for me. I turn and look at her.

"Tell James I'm ready for my second shot."

I tilt my head and Vicky wiggles her eyebrows at me.

I smirk, shaking my head. "Will do, Vicky. Have good day." I walk Bella out and see she's still holding in her laughter. "It's okay, Little Girl, you can laugh. What did you think of Vicky, Little Girl?"

Bella smiles at me. "Sir, your girl thinks she is nice, but she seems like she walks to the beat of her own drum."

I chuckle. "Little girl, Vicky has her own orchestra. Let's go to lunch."

I take Bella to a new place that I know she will like. Once there, every now and then I touch her knee, and a little higher above, though I never go too far up. I want to see, hear, and feel, in private every one of Bella's firsts.

The rest of the day comes and goes and I leave Bella at her bedroom door. This is the first time since Monday night we will be apart. I pace inside my bedroom later that night, I don't feel right in here without her. It doesn't feel the way that it should and before I can stop myself, I walk over to her bedroom door. As I go to knock, it opens and I see Bella standing in front of me looking as lost as I feel. I put my hand out and she takes it and I lead her back to my room.

I pull her to my bed and look into her eye. "Little Girl, how would you feel about sharing my bed during our Dom and sub time? You can still keep your room, in case you need a night away or just for you to have your own space."

She smiles at me. "Your girl would love to share Sir's bed. Your girl likes her room very much, but something felt off. It was like there was something—"

"—missing," we both finish, our eyes connected.

Everything I feel for Bella is happening so fast and coming on so strong. I swallow hard, while Bella and I just look at each other. I know she's falling asleep, so I pull her closer to me and she lays her head on my shoulder.

I fall asleep right after her.

"My playroom door is normally locked unless I plan to use it that day," I say, unlocking it. "This playroom is mine and you're never to come in without my permission or direct order."

Bella's face gets red, and I raise my brow at her in question.

"Sir, your girl had a dirty thought."

I smirk and nod at her.

"You also need permission to enter, and to cum as well." Bella nods as we walk in. "Your job would be to keep the place clean, as well as anything we use during play. Nothing can come out of this room without me asking or telling you that it's okay first. I will let you know beforehand if and what you are to wear inside my playroom. When you come in, you'll set your journal on the table and be in the inspection pose where you were on Monday night. Come, I will show you everything I have around the room."

I walk her over to my whipping bench and stand first. "This is where most punishments will be carried out." Bella looks at me then to the bench, asking silently to touch it, and I nod in consent.

My breathing hitches as she leans over the bench giving me a clear view of her nice pale ass.

"Your hands go here." I gently move her hand to where they would go. "You look so perfect here like this. Your lovely show on Monday would've lead to this, if we were in a contracted Dom and sub relationship at the time."

Bella smiles at me, and then gently gets up, moving to the stand again. I stand back and watch her get a feel for it.

"Any questions?" I ask and Bella nods. I motion for her to speak up.

"Sir, your girl is wondering about spanking for punishment; how sore will I be? I mean, would it be like Sir Eric did with submissive Carmen?"

I shake my head. "No, Little Girl. Carmen has been a submissive for close to eighteen years. She has built up over time what she can take. It would be unsafe and abusive if I were to give you that kind if spanking. But say in five to eight years' time, I could spank you like that."

Bella still looks confused, so I tap the bench for her to come back.

"What are your colors?" I ask looking at her.

"Sir, your girl's colors are: Green, which means keep going. Yellow, which means your girl is worried or that things need to be taken down a little. And there is red, which means stop, Sir."

"You can say them at any time, do you understand?" Again Bella nods at me. "What is your color now, Little Girl?"

"Sir, your girl is green," she says, her breathing slowing down.

"Lie on the bench and place your hands where I told you to put them." Bella gets ready and again I can see her flawless ass on display.

"This has the most flesh on it," I say with a firm grip on two handfuls of Bella's ass. She lets out a gasp in shock. "That's why we use it for punishment. We always give warm-up swats first. This is to get the ass ready." I look to the mirror in front of Bella making sure she is okay. "I'll only be giving you slight warm-up spanks, what color are you?" I pull on Bella's braided hair a little, so she can see me in the mirror.

"Your girl is green, Sir."

"There will be five swats for warm up. Usually the submissive would count them out and thank her master, but in your case, you will thank me, as Sir, after each one. In most cases, if the submissive forgets or doesn't count, then punishment can start all over again. You're free to count if you want, this is just a demonstration."

I look in the mirror, making sure she understands, and when I am satisfied that she looks like she does, I begin to rub her ass again.

I swat her ass lightly not using the force I would normally for a warm-up spank.

"One. Thank you, Sir," Bella says as I knead her as again.

I continue to spank her and Bella continues to thank me after each one as I knead her ass. I check her color before spanking her the third time. On the fifth one, I use the right force for the warm up, catching Bella a little off guard, but she's still able to thank me.

"Color, Little Girl?" I demand.

Bella looks at me through the mirror and smiles for a second. "Your girl is Green, Sir."

I help her stand and turn her to face me. "I'm proud of you, Little Girl. Punishment swats are harder than those, and like those, they need to be built up. During punishments, the spanking should keep to the same force with each swat. The level of that force will be built up over years of training. As my submissive's ass becomes accustomed to that level of spanking, I'll move the force up, understand?"

"Yes, Sir, your girl understands."

I nod, satisfied with her response, and look around the room to see what I would like to show her next.

I take her around the room, showing her all of the different new toys and things I have stocked the room with. I readily explain that everything within the room has been replaced, recovered or is a new addition since the last collared submissive.

"Sir, your girl notices that the bed here is like the bed within your bedroom."

I smirk, stepping closer to her. "Yes, Little Girl, this bed is almost exactly like our bed. However, this bed has several additional hardware items that our bed for sleeping does not have. Soon, I will show you the ways I can restrain you on this bed, and make you feel all kinds of new things," I say seductively in her ear.

I can smell her arousal and I smile, knowing that my mere words can pleasure her. I show her the shower room, the bathroom and all of the different areas, leaving the aftercare area for last.

"This is where all of the aftercare will take place," I say tapping the table and grabbing the cream.

"Stand here and lean over the table with your ass in the air, I want that stunning red ass of mine on display, Little Girl."

Bella follows what I say and I admire her. "I enjoy seeing the pink and red marks across this plump ass," I say as I stroke her skin with my fingertips. I lean forward placing an open-mouthed kiss on each cheek, and then I apply cream to her still lightly reddened skin.

"Anything you would like to talk about?"

Bella shakes her head at me.

"Good, you are to remain here and have a look around. Once you have a feel for the place, give it a good cleaning. Then I'd like you to go to your room and write in your journal about yesterday and today, any time after that is your own. Dinner will be served to me at seven in the dining room, understand?"

"Yes, Sir, your girl understands."

I nod at her and walk out of the room. I busy myself with the work I need to do for the rest of the afternoon. At ten to seven I walk down and into my dining room. I made the choice not to eat dinner with Bella, as yesterday we ate every meal together. And where I would not do this often, I still felt this is something she should experience.

I look at the open door where Bella stands and then the clock on the wall, seeing that it's a few minutes to seven. I smile, realizing Bella has given herself time to be told to enter so she can serve me right on seven like I asked.

"Enter, Little girl." She walks swiftly and places my plate down, before she kneels at my side.

I take a bite and let out a hum. "This is very good, Little Girl, and I am very pleased. Please go back to the kitchen and eat your own dinner there."

Bella kisses my foot and stands up. I catch her arm looking into her eyes.

"You have pleased me greatly, and I think some time together after we are done with our meal is in order."

Bella gives me a smile and nods.

"Sir, your girl likes the sound of that." I watch her for any sign that she feels like I'm abandoning her. As if she's reading my thoughts, Bella shakes her head at me and smiles. "I'll come and get you from the kitchen, when I am done." I add on a wink and watch her leave.

My dinner goes by slowly and I know by the time I am halfway through, this is something I won't be doing often. It is strange as I normally have dinner alone when I have a submissive. The time alone gives me time to plan things that I want to do, but tonight, I couldn't think straight. I wanted to get done, so I could sit with my little girl, my beauty.

I spend the rest of the night keeping Bella closer to me, which she seems happy about.

Sunday comes along and we again have dinner at my parents' house. After talking it through with Bella, we're going to remain in our Dom and submissive relationship this week during dinner. Next week, we will go as girlfriend and boyfriend. We will keep going between both of them, so we can have the best of both worlds. I made sure my family was aware of our choices; Bella was fine with that, since she knows I'm very open about my lifestyle with them. I also informed everyone that Bella's mom and step-dad were coming for a week, and they, too, will join us for dinner while they're here.

When we get back, I ask to look at Bella's journal in my office. I order her to go and clean up the submissive quarters to prepare for next weekend. I had asked her to leave a larger space between paragraphs, so I may write things under each of them if needed. This is a good way to show the submissive that I have not only read what they have written, but have taken into account how they've felt during the weekend. I sit at my desk and open her journal.

Your girl's, journal. Weekend of the thirtieth of November, through the second of December.

Sir,

Your girl is very pleased with the way this first weekend has gone so far. Your girl hopes that Sir is pleased as well. Your girl had nothing to write about on Friday night. However, now your girl feels as if she should write something about it. On Friday night, when Sir left his girl at her bedroom door, his girl instantly started to miss him. Your girl expected to get her first punishment, as she was coming to Sir to tell him she needed to be close to him. Your girl was relieved to know Sir missed her, too.

I pick up my pen and start to write.Little Girl, I'm very pleased with the turnout of this weekend. I also missed you very much, as you know, and couldn't sleep without you. You will never be in trouble for needing me. A Dom is only as strong as the submissive that stands behind him. It's imperative that you always tell me everything and be honest. Together, we will both grow.

Today, Sir took his girl shopping, and to the spa. Your girl actually had fun. Meeting Vicky was amusing, she seems like she likes to keep a person on their toes. Your girl was slightly embarrassed about not wearing panties. Your girl got really wet when Sir took the panties he bought her to try on clothes with and sniffed them. Sir, is this a normal reaction to this kind of action? It wasn't wrong to be turned on by that, is it?

I pick up my pen and start to write again.

Little Girl, I'm very pleased with the way our shopping trip went, too. Vicky is a fun person, and she likes to give people a hard time. You can always trust in her to protect you. While you are at the spa, if an issue should arise, tell her and she will get me right away. I didn't intentionally forget your panties, but I'm so glad I did. The smell of your panties after trying on those clothes pleased me very much. Your reaction was even better and perfectly normal. Your reaction and the smell of your arousal made me know that we will be very good together. There is no wrong in learning mine, yours, or our desires.

When you showed your girl the playroom, your girl was so surprised by the size and amount of things Sir has in it. Your girl was so pleased that Sir shared with her a toned- down punishment spanking. Your girl was oddly turned on by the lighter swats, and enjoyed when Sir was touching her. The last swat was a little uncomfortable; however, it was mostly surprising rather than painful. Your girl doesn't hope to be punished frequently, but your girl now knows she can face punishments if they're warranted.

I smile before starting to write.

Little Girl, I'm very pleased that you were able to learn from that slight demonstration. I don't hope to punish you either, but I WILL when needed. I do want to be clear that you will never EVER be punished if it is not warranted. There will be many more spankings in your future, but remember not all of them will be for punishments. If you think the spanking you got was a turn on, wait until I'm doing it with the intent to pleasure you.

Your girl is enjoying her job at the club. Your girl has never felt as free as she feels when she is there. I know that seems strange, because at the club, I am a worker and known by everyone as your submissive-in-training, yet I feel nothing more than freedom there. My only concern about the job is Tanya, who seems rather peculiar around your girl. Your girl always feels as if she should pay closer attention to Tanya when she is around her, like she used to do around Jessica. Your girl will close for now, tomorrow morning we will head to Sir's parents' home. I know they will know of our lifestyle choices, and your girl is glad that they always make her feel welcome. Thank you for this weekend.

Your girl,

Bella

I pick up my pen.

Little Girl, I'm very pleased you're enjoying your job at the club. If there is ever any reason that you feel uncomfortable or harassed by Tanya, I want you to immediately get me. If I'm not available, you may always go to Sir Aro. Please come to me if you see anything you think I should know, right away. This weekend has been wonderful and it is only the start of what will be a very long relationship together.

I'm completely thrilled with her journaling and with the way the weekend has gone. I glance at my watch and notice it's time to bring this weekend to an end. I look up and see Bella kneeling outside the office's door.

"Little Girl, stand and come in here," I order, standing up and walking around my desk to stand in front of her. "I've enjoyed our first weekend together, Little Girl. You did a great job and I'm very pleased with you." I reach for her hands and take off each of her bracelets, kissing her wrists as I slide her other bracelets back on. "But I am also pleased to have my beautiful girlfriend back again."

Bella smiles at me, nodding, and then kisses me deeply, moaning into my mouth. She pulls back and there is a light in her eyes and it makes me grin. "I miss being able to kiss you whenever I please."

I chuckle pulling her back to me and moving to sit down on my office sofa. Bella and I spend the next few hours kissing and talking to each other. I know that she's worried about her mom finding out about our lifestyle, but I told her there's no way she will find out, and if she did, I would handle it for her. I'm hoping with everything that I am, that Renee is not like Charlie and has genuine feelings for my beauty.

Monday comes and Bella goes off to college as I work away at the club. All too soon, I find myself driving with Bella to get Renee and Phil from the airport. I stand with Bella as we watch people come out off their flights. I keep scanning the place looking to see if I can pick Renee out. They are a few that fit with the picture I have in my head of what Renee will look like, but each of them passes us.

I chuckle when I see an old lady with bright pink hair, and clothes which you would normally see on a teenager. She does have a good figure on her and her clothes are real tight and short, but so not my type. She seems to love the attention she's drawn from all of the guys nearby who are all fighting to help her. I look to Bella who looks worried and I feel the need to calm her.

"Don't worry, Beautiful. I'm sure she'll be here any minute now. Just think, the lady with the pink hair could be your mom, now that'll be something to worry about," I say jokingly to her.

Bella looks up at me and pales, and then looks as if she's trying to hold back a laugh.

"Isabella, there you are."

I turn and feel myself go into shock as the lady with the pink hair talks to Bella. "Be a darling and get our bags for us, I'm so tired and I have bags under my eyes, do you see them?" Pink lady says stepping in front of Bella who just nods.

"Oh no, it's the paparazzi. I just knew they'd get wind of our arrival and be here. I'm glad my glasses will cover the bags under my eyes. I'm so glad I changed into something cute though, I just knew they would try to catch me out."

"Bella, is this your mom Renee?" I ask and she nods at me.

"I know, I know. We look more like sisters. Well, we would if she would dress better. Isabella, I thought I told you to wear something nice? I swear you have absolutely no taste in decent clothing. Phil, put those bags down, Bella has already taken care of the arrangements for them. Please tell me you were smart enough to park at the front door, Isabella?"

I frown and watch as Phil places the bags down and then walks away with Renee, who is waving at the paparazzi.

"Yeah, that's Renee," Bella says as she starts to pick up the bags.

A/N: Well where to start ... What did you think of the first weekend together as Dom and sub? What did you think of Renee during her phone call and then at the airport? This will be at best interesting to say the least. We are super excited to hear what you all are thinking now. Thanks for reading. Nikky & Kasi~
