CHAPTER 11

Bella woke up to feel Edward's face against her chest and his arm around her hips. His one hand had snaked up under her top and was firmly clasped around her breast. What is about my boobs? They are just boobs and they aren't even that big! Bella mentally rolled her eyes at how simple the needs of the male species.

She hadn't slept well the night before, having gone to bed horny and angry. She didn't like feeling like that unsatisfied didn't work for her.

She still felt all tingly and wet down there and having Edward's body sprawled over hers didn't help. His hand against her breast caressed every so often and she had awoken during the night with him twisting her nipple between his pointer finger and thumb, or he rubbed it with the palm of his hand, humming in satisfaction as it hardened against his hand.

She clenched her thighs together, so help me, if he doesn't get off me or GET ME OFF soon –he is dead meat!! She whimpered as her sleep pants brushed against her clip, which felt swollen. FUUUCK! I am turning into a pervert – no she already was one!

She rolled her hips slightly, not wanting to disturb Edward, trying to find friction and a little S-A-T-I-S-F-A-C-T-I-O-N...Hmmm...

"Trying to cheat a little, Love?" The VOICE spoke quietly against her breast as the fingers gave her nipple a slightly more than comfortable pinch.

Bella jumped and felt her face burn a fiery red, embarrassment and anger flared up in her.

"N-no! Fuck Edward, get off me! I need the bathroom!" she didn't mean to snap, but the last night and a bit came rolling back to her, making her more than a little testy.

He chucked and held her tighter, his hand gripping her hip and the other one clasping her breast, but flicking her nipple with his thumb nail, making Bella moan and then hiss in anger again.

"You are a bad sport, my little Miss Grumpy" he teased her.

"And you are a fucking Neanderthal – my little Satan Spawn!" she snapped back at him. "Now let me go, or I will pee in your bed!"

He released her suddenly and she almost landed on the floor on her ass, this just made her pout at him and rub her leg, where she had stumbled. She glared at him and stomped off to the bathroom.

Edward rolled out of bed with a shit eating grin on his face. Damn! She's the cutest thing when she is pissed off!

He realised that it was cruel to tease her anymore and resolved to make her smile soon! He sauntered into the bathroom doorway and leaned against it as he watched her turn the cold tap on and throw water in her face. It left her gasping at the coldness. She was mumbling to herself and frowning as she brushed her teeth. She sensed his presence and looked up at him.

He saw the pent up frustration and the desire on her face as she swept her gaze over him, from his crossed over feet to his hands which braced him against the door frame as he stretched. Her eyes widened and she whimpered as she took in the erection that was very much in evidence. She licked her lips and then her eyes met his and he saw the silent plea please don't tease me anymore, Edward...

When Bella had gotten out of bed, she was almost in tears! How can he have so much power over my body, over me??

Bella found this the most confusing and frightening aspect of her relationship with Edward. Did it mean that she was weak willed? That she just caved into everything he wanted? Was he totally in control now, and would he hurt her with the power that she had given him?

She knew that power destroyed. Power was used against the weak, it crushed and hurt and left a path of shame and self loathing.

She hated herself for feeling so weak around him. And yet, it was the most hedonistic feeling, she felt her juices flow just at the thought of his body touching hers...

Edward smiled at her as he walked into the room "Will you shower with me this morning, Love?"

For a moment, she was tempted to tell him to go and fuck himself, but then saw the glint in his eye – Yes! I'm gonna get some! Bella's inner perv was overjoyed – gogogogogo!!!!

"Sure" was all she said as he walked into the shower turning on the multiple jets. She stepped in behind him and placed a kiss between his shoulder blades as she ran her hands down his back and slipped them around his stomach.

Edward let out a hiss and Bella chuckled. He turned around and his arms went around her "Good God Isabella! You are dangerous. Come here". He stepped further into the shower and firmly grasped her hips. He lifted her and turned her so that she was pushed up against the wall. In one movement, he slid inside her wet warmth. They groaned against each others mouths. She put her head into his neck and bit down on the skin and muscle standing out.

"FUCK!" he shouted and his movements became harder and deeper. He wanted to consume her, he wanted to climb inside her skin!

He pushed his hand between them, the other holding her bottom and pinched her clit "Cum now" he ordered her. She was so close and when he felt her muscles begin to tighten around him, he pulled on her clit and twisted it hard. Bella let out a scream as she began to convulse around him. Her body was shaking and she could not even think one coherent thought. Edward did not let up, kept up his pinching and twisting. He felt her inner muscles twitch and it made him even harder. He drove into her deeper and harder.

Bella could feel herself exploding again. He pulled out of her and sat down on the shower bench, he pulled her onto his lap, with her back against his chest. She was unable to hold herself up. He angled his body, so that he was on the edge of the bench, he picked her up and pushed his cock into her core. He rolled his hips and then he began to bang his hips up against her. He reached forward and pulled on her nipples. His cock pulsed inside her and she felt his cum as it shot into her and she felt her release again.

They were reclined on the bench. His arms around her. "Bella? Are you okay?"

"Hmmm"

"Can you move?"

"Don't think so"

He lifted her off his lap and stood her up. He washed her body and hair. He led her over to the shower seat again and she watched as he washed himself. He turned off the shower.

"Can you move now, Love?" he asked with a grin.

Bella laughed at him and shook her head. "You are so cocky!"

When they made it to the dining room, Alice and Jasper were there already eating breakfast.

"At last! I wanted to come up and wake you, Bella, but Jasper thought you might need your sleep" Alice was chatting without taking a breath. Bella rolled her eyes at Jasper and sat down at the table.

"Coffee first Alice, then I can deal with you." She smiled to soften the thinly veiled insult.

"Whatever. What the hell are you wearing? We are going to a spa, not a market place!"

Bella looked down at her black gypsy skirt and red peasant blouse. "What's wrong with what I am wearing?"

Edward and Jasper grinned at each other. They knew never to cross Alice, especially when it came to clothes.

"Bella, Bella." Alice said sadly, shaking her head "We will need to look in your closet, I think. But we don't really have time now. We need to go. I have booked a day at the spa." She gave Bella a hard stare as she was about to protest, "Now, don't be difficult, Edward will still be here when we get back."

Edward and Jasper made plans to go over their scripts and catch up on some brother bonding time.

Alice hurried Bella through breakfast and then went to get her rental car out of the garage. Bella stared at the bright yellow Ferrari in horror. Jasper stood behind her, "Don't be afraid, it's another Cullen trait – they love speed. She is a great driver, so relax".

They started with a facial, and then moved on to a mud bath. Bella also found out that when Alice Cullen said a day at the spa, she meant it.

"Alice, can I ask you a question?"

They were lying in their mud baths with cucumbers over their eyes.

"Sure, little sister, anything"

"Well, Edward told me about you and Jasper, I mean, you know about how and where you met."

"I know. He asked me if he could be open with you." Alice's voice held no judgement, only encouragement and so Bella found the courage to continue.

"Well, um, do you ever get frustrated? Do you always know what is expected of you?" Bella's question came out hurried and soft.

"Sure I get frustrated. Jasper often pushes me like that. Edward and Jasper probably have the same rules, so masturbation and self pleasuring is a no-no. That's quite a common rule and most Doms withhold orgasms from their subs regularly. Is that what you are talking about?"

"Yeah. I can't control myself and it's driving me crazy. You know, when it's um, about to happen, then I don't think that I'll be able to stop myself and I know that's it is important."

The cucumber slices came off and the girls stared at each other. Bella was blushing furiously and Alice was looking at her and smiling kindly.

"Bella, honey, you've got to cut yourself some slack here! You and Edward just happened and it's been what, a week and a half?" Bella nodded.

"So, you've been a submissive for a week! Come on! Baby steps, kiddo. Hell, Jasper and I still have issues and tough times and I still get punished over stuff. You need to practice withholding your orgasms. Start slowly. At first it will be a few minutes only. The trick," she winked at Bella, "is to think of something totally unrelated to what is happening. Recite the words to song, or a poem or countries and capitals. It isn't easy, but you can do it."

Bella thought about what Alice was saying and it made sense to her. She was good at blocking things out, hell she had been brought up on blocking out reality!

Alice's voice brought her back to the present. "The most important rule is to talk to Edward. You need to do that, all the time. Let him know when your resistance is low, let him take the reasonability of not pushing you too far past your limits."

They climbed out of the baths and stood under the showers. Bella's skin felt soft and sensual to her touch.

Alice turned to her as they finished in the showers and was heading to the wax rooms.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Do you want to be a submissive because it is something you want, or is it for Edward?"

Bella took a deep breath and for the second time in a week, she told Alice her story. She spoke about Jake and what had happened. She blushed and stammered her way through and when she was finished, Alice surprised her by enfolding her in a fierce hug.

"I am so sorry that you were abused, Honey. I wish that Edward had been your first ever. He is a good man and I believe that he is a good Dom. He will treat you right. You were born to be together!"

Bella laughed "I don't know about that, Alice. Look at him and then look at me!"

Alice stopped and glared at her. "Now that is the last time I ever want you to talk like that! My brother doesn't only look at outside beauty – we were brought up to respect and love our significant others. We were taught to look inside the heart. Beauty Bella, comes from inside. If your are only a skin deep beauty, your ugliness will shine out of you."

She took Bella's hand, "Now stop stalling, let's get waxed – we both have that rule!"

Bella pulled slightly on Alice's hand "Ali? Sometimes I hate the rules."

Alice laughed, "Me too, sister, which is why I still get into trouble, but, sometimes I do it on purpose!"

The waxing wasn't as bad as Bella had anticipated and the massage was heavenly. Alice and Bella were led into a cool dark room with candles. Their masseurs were two men, Janik and Carlo. Alice seemed to know them and motioned to Bella that she had nothing to worry about. The men were professional but friendly and very good-looking. Janik was Danish and was blonde with bright blue eyes and a killer smile. Carlo was Italian and was as tall as Janik with dark brown hair, very dark brown eyes and a wicked smile. They both seemed to work out a lot, as their bodies were lean and strong. They told Alice about a new club in town that had an outstanding DJ. They asked the girls to join them on Thursday night. Alice explained that they both had boyfriends, but that if they did go, they would give them a dance of two.

The girls enjoyed lunch in the spa's boutique restaurant and headed back to the villa mid-afternoon.

Alice had been so open with Bella, that she knew that she could trust her implicitly.

"Alice, I need to ask you a favour."

"Anything, Sweetie"

"Edward said that he wanted us to play in the p-playroom while we are here and I'm a little, well a lot, freaked out by this. I've never seen one, and I don't want to spaz out or run screaming and then...shit, this is embarrassing, will you show me the playroom if they aren't home?" Bella felt her skin burning.

Alice just slid her hand onto Bella's knee and patted it. "Hey! Remember, we are family here. There are no stupid questions and no need to be embarrassed and of course I will show you the playroom, in fact I already told Edward that I wanted to take you through it. Even if they are home, we can slip upstairs, okay?"

Bella felt herself relax and she began to feel a little excited at the prospect of seeing Edward's playroom.

When they arrived, Rosa greeted them with the news that Edward and Jasper were out and would be returning later.

Alice clapped her hands. "Perfect! Go and change into comfortable clothes, like yoga pants or something and meet me on the landing in 10 minutes."

Bella found herself not questioning her little friend and changed into black yoga pants and a white sports top. She didn't have on any underwear as her mound was a little tender and the top had support. She forwent shoes and met Alice outside her door, holding a bottle of white wine in an ice bucket and two glasses. She grinned "They call it 'Dutch Courage', come on".

Alice led Bella to another staircase down the hallway, she explained that these also went down to the informal lounge/games room and up to the attic/playroom.

She held Bella's hand as she opened the door with a code and flicked the lights on.

"Walk around and look at everything you want to – feel, touch, ask as many questions as you want to." She walked over and sat down on one of two big wingback armchairs that sat to the side of the room, in an alcove.

Bella stood in the doorway. Wow! Playroom indeed! This room was completely different in decor and colours to the rest of the villa that Bella had seen. The walls were done in oxblood red, rich, deep red walls. There were the same colour red silk curtains on the windows. These weren't ceiling to floor as with the rest of the house, but were a little higher than waist height and went up to the ceiling.

The room was big and open. It ran the length of the back of the villa. There was a little alcove with the armchairs in a corner together with a little coffee table between them. There was also a bar fridge and an iPod docking station.

Bella brought her eyes back to the main area of the room. The 'furniture' was black leather. She saw a bench that almost looked like a sawhorse, except it was wider and covered in leather. There was a little platform on the sides with handles at one end. She looked at Alice with raised eyebrows. Alice grimaced "Whipping bench. More often than not used for punishment. See the hooks at the tops and on the sides? Yeah, well, those are for ties."

Bella felt herself swallow. Holy Shit! This will probably become my best friend!

There was a pole that stood in the middle of the hardwood floor. There were fixtures, in the floor on either side of the pole. "Those are for ties too." Alice explained.

She nodded and moved on to the next piece of equipment. It was a large X in a dark stained wood. She ran her hand over it and felt the moisture gather. She closed her eyes as she envisaged herself against the X, her hands and maybe her feet bound, naked, slightly sweaty, her hair around her shoulders, Edward behind her, pressing into her, raising his hand...

"Bella! What are you thinking of?" Alice's teasing laugh brought her down to earth. She realised a denial was pointless, so she just shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes and moved on to a large table that stood next to a wall of cupboards.

"Can I look in here?" Bella asked Alice. "You can look everywhere, Honey" Bella was glad that Alice's voice was patient, kind. She came and handed Bella a glass of cold, white wine.

Bella looked in the bottom row and found cleaning materials, sterilising solutions and leather cleaners. There were linens and towels as well as an extensive first aid kit. Bella swung around and looked at Alice with wide eyes.

"Bella, you must realise that Edward tends to – over exaggerate a little. Yes, playing can get out of hand, IF you are with the wrong people, or they are careless and stupid. Edward is NEVER careless or stupid in the playroom. He is very careful and that's why he has a mini hospital in here."

"We have the same at home and Edward has it in his house as well. Accidents happen, but normally it may be a bruise or a rope burn or a little redness from wax. You are safe in here. You just need to remember to vocalise your fears to Edward. He will never be angry with you for doing that. He WILL be totally pissed with you if you don't open your mouth and talk to him, okay?"

Bella nodded and took a large sip of her wine. There were special drawers that were deeper than normal drawers and when Bella looked inside she saw vibrators, dildos, but plugs, nipple clamps, and some things that she didn't recognise. Everything was neatly arranged and in place. She could feel her cheeks flaming and she snuck a look at Alice who let out a giggle.

"Yip, that's the fun stuff!" She said and Bella fell into a fit of giggles too. She told Alice about the few toys that she had brought with her and how Edward had found them.

The girls made her way over to the chairs and the tension of the day seemed to drain away as they laughed at the story. Bella of course, glossed over the reason he found them, but it was funny nevertheless.

Bella looked up and her laughter died immediately. There was a network of piping across the ceiling. Not really piping she realised, but it looked like railway tracks. On these tracks were pulleys and attached to the pulleys were chains. Long, black chains that were neatly lined up against the far wall. This wall held racks of whips, what looked like old fashioned cat o' nine tails, riding crops, and things that looked like odd table tennis bats. The chains held Bella's attention though.

"What the FUCK, is that Alice?" Her voice sounded loud and full of panic. The glass in her hand shook.

Alice quickly looked to where Bella's eyes were focused. Her hand took the glass out of Bella's and set it on the table. She pulled Bella to her feet and into a hug.

"Hey now! No need to panic, Sweetie. Those are suspension chains, well that's what some of them are used for."

The panic didn't lessen "Like in hanging up in the middle of fucking nowhere, suspension? Are you CRAZY?" she couldn't breathe!

"BELLA! RELAX!" Alice shouted, pulling back from her to look at her in the eyes.

Bella took a deep breath. She concentrated on breathing and felt Alice rubbing her back in slow relaxing circles. When she felt stronger, calmer, she opened her eyes and looked at Alice.

"Sorry, Ali. I didn't mean to panic." She whispered to her friend.

"There is nothing to apologise for, remember? Now let me tell you. Suspension doesn't hurt. It feels different, because you are off the ground and yes, you need to be quite supple in your body, because you go into unusual positions."

"It looks dangerous. Do you do it?" she asked quietly.

"Anything can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Jazz and Edward are extremely well trained and they both know what they are doing. Jazz and I do it, yes."

Bella looked up at the chains again and quickly sat down. She picked up her wine glass.

Alice laughed and sat down, she took Bella's hand again.

"Remember, Bella, this is all about trust. You need learn to trust Edward, as your Dom, to never betray you, physically or emotionally. Do you?"

Bella carefully considered the question. Did she trust Edward?

She felt no anxiety about him, in fact thinking about trusting him and letting him make the decisions made her feel peaceful and safe.

"Yes, I do trust him. Edward would never hurt me intentionally, I'm more afraid that I will be a disappointment to him, that he will loose patience with me." She felt tears prick at her eyes and worked hard not to let them fall. "Alice? I really love him and I don't to let him down." She whispered as a tear fell onto her cheek. Alice got up and pulled her into a hug. She stroked her hair.

"Silly Bella! You will never let him down! He loves you too! This is a huge step for both of you. Edward has never felt this way about anyone, before." They held each other for a long time. "You are good for him. You just need to talk to him. Open up Bella, he won't let you down."

There was a movement at the door and the girls jumped and turned towards the noise. Edward and Jasper stood in the doorway, they were looking a little bemused at the sight of their women in an intimate embrace among all the erotic equipment of the playroom.

Edward smiled "Can anyone join in the action or is this a closed session?"

Jasper grinned "I don't mind watching – this is kind of hot!"

Bella and Alice rolled their eyes and Bella felt her cheeks grow warm. The guys laughed.

"Sorry, boys, it's a girls' only thing!" Alice announced. She stepped away from Bella and picked up her wine glass. She put a hand on Bella's waist and gave her a one armed hug as she leaned in she whispered "Talk to him, okay?"

Bella smiled at her and nodded. "Thanks Twister – for everything today."

Alice joined Jasper at the door as Edward moved into the room. They said good bye as they were headed out for the evening and Bella knew that they wanted to give her and Edward some space.

Bella stood looking at Edward, he looked so handsome in his black jeans and white t-shirt. He walked slowly towards Bella and she quickly finished the wine in her glass.

He was smiling "Thirsty, Love? Or nervous? Freaked out, maybe?" He said as he reached her side.

She laughed nervously "Nervous and maybe a little freaked out?" she said, but it came out as a question.

He chuckled and pulled her into his arms. Bella breathed in his smell. She felt her body relax and her panic leave her. She knew without a shadow of doubt that this man would protect her at all costs. She was safe.

"You are safe, Baby. I promise nothing will hurt you." His voice rumbled against her ear.

She put her arms around his neck and pulled him down and kissed him softly. "Thank you for saying that. I know that it is true." She whispered into his ear.

Edward pulled her closer and took control of the kiss this time. His tongue slid into her mouth and it was as if he was making love to her mouth. Softly, passionately. The kiss changed and she responded with need and lust. They broke apart for air.

He put his forehead against hers. "You are so beautiful. I missed you today."

She smiled "So are you and I missed you too."

Edward just laughed and released her to sit in the armchair. He pulled her onto his lap and reached over to refill the wine glass. Bella sat sideways and put her arm around his shoulders.

"So, did you have a good time today, Sweetheart?" he asked as they shared sips of wine.

"It was fun, well most of it was. The mud bath was weird, but the massage was great, so was the facial. The rest was okay. We spoke about - things." She was blushing again.

Communication, Bella! She reminded herself as she took a deep breath.

"We spoke about a lot of things that I had questions about. You know, about this ..." she indicated the room around them. We also spoke about um, control" She laughed self consciously, "Alice made some suggestions about reciting poetry or songs when I need to control, um, things." And there went the blushing again!

Edward pursed his lips as he looked at her steadily. He needed to get her over this reluctance to vocalise issues and to talk about body parts and functions without looking like she was going to have to swallow a frog!

"Control of what exactly?" he prompted her.

"You know..." now she sighed and looked irritated and Edward felt his own irritation growing. She is so fucking stubborn and defensive! He thought.

"Not really, can you explain please?" Don't loose your temper. Don't shout at her. Coach her, have patience. He tried not to let his anger show in his words or his face, but he wanted to say to her JUST SPIT IT OUT!

"Shit! You are going to make me say it, aren't you?" She got off his lap and he let her go. Bella walked a few steps away from him, she saw the enormous 4 poster bed in the opposite corner and quickly spun around to face Edward.

Here goes nothing!

"I was furious with you last night. You got me all worked up and then you left me high and dry!" He quirked an eyebrow at her and she blushed.

"Oh! You know what I mean! I thought I was going to go up in flames and you were so damn smug. I was too afraid to touch my own skin and I really wanted to, but you said that I couldn't um, climax and I don't know how to just switch it off!" She was frowning at him and then he felt his temper rise when she walked towards him again, wagging her finger at him like he was a naughty child.

"You can control my body without even touching me. You turn me on and off like a light switch. It's scary for me and yes, it is also a huge turn on, but it's not fair because I want you all the fucking time!" She glared at him. He was looking at her with an almost indulgent look on his face. A ghost of a smile on those beautiful lips.

She arched her brows "Are you laughing at me?" she asked incredulously.

The ghost smile vanished. "No. Are you finished talking?" His voice gave nothing away.

"For now" She was pissed off and felt like he was deliberately pushing her buttons – well she could push too.

He got up and walked towards her.

"So, back to my question, what control of what?" Oh and he was definitely smirking now!

Really? He wants to go there like that, does he?

"How to control my orgasm, okay Edward?" Her voice came out loudly in the quiet room, she blushed and then got angry with herself for showing a weakness.

" Honest to God, sometimes you really piss me off!" She moved to walk out of the room, but he stepped in front of her. She stood glaring at him "WHAT? WHAT EDWARD?" She was SO over this conversation. Talking sucked!

The smile left Edward's face. His eyes went from emerald to almost black. His voice remained quiet, almost deadly quiet and Bella knew she had made a big mistake.

"Isabella, may I remind you that you are in MY playroom? I do not have a problem with you being honest and open with me, in fact I welcome it, but DON'T GET DISRESECTFUL WITH ME AND WATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" Okay, so he lost the battle with his temper.

Bella felt her anger leave as quickly as it came. She knew that she had screwed up and she also knew that her mouth seemed to run away with her way too much. Damn! She was so stupid!

She slowly backed away and went to sit back down in the armchair. She picked up the almost empty glass and took a sip.

She looked at Edward. He was standing in front of the windows looking out. He had one hand in his hair, tugging at it.

She spoke softly, "Edward, I'm sorry. Please come and sit down and let me talk to you. I am just so nervous. This is so new and exciting and yes, a little scary for me." He swung around to look at her with concern at her last remark and she hastened to reassure him.

"I'm not scared of you or of playing with you. Scared is perhaps the wrong word, perhaps I should say overwhelmed. I'm not used to being open and honest about myself and my feelings. I want to talk with you, I want to let you in, but I keep screwing up. I'm sorry. Please come and talk to me."

He stood looking at her for what seemed like ages. She tried not to fidget. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "Fine, but not in here. Let's go downstairs."

They walked downstairs to their suite and Edward went to the house phone and asked that dinner be brought up to them.

He sat down on the couch and motioned for Bella to join him. She sat quietly next to him and he took her hand.

"Bella, look at me, please. I'm sorry that I shouted at you, but I'm not sorry about what I said to you. You need to respect me as your Dom or else this will not work. You also need to understand that when I reprimand you or punish you, this is not because you are a bad or weak or stupid person, it is because of an incorrect choice or decision that you made. Do you understand this?"

She nodded and then at his slight frown she realised that he wanted to hear her words of affirmation. "Yes, I understand what you are saying."

"Good girl" He smiled at her. "Now, next item that you brought up. I know that training is difficult. I remember what I went through as a teenager and young adult learning, and I wasn't in love with or even remotely romantically involved with my mentors. My ass was red most days." He seemed to find this funny, but Bella felt a rush of anger at the person that would hurt her Edward. He squeezed her hand to bring her back to the conversation at hand."

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her mouth lightly. He kept his gaze steady and loving. "You, Isabella Swan have quite a temper – you will need to control that. You also get easily frustrated with people and you don't like being challenged and pushed – you definitely need to control THAT." He could feel her begin to stiffen under his hands and he squeezed her hand again. She immediately realized what she was doing and smiled at him sheepishly and relaxed again, even nodding her head.

"This is not just about the physical release, Baby. This is not just about instant or even delayed gratification physically. Sure it is a huge part of it. But being a Submissive is about reigning in your wants and needs and desires and putting the wants and needs and desires of me, your Dominant before yours, TRUSTING that I know what it is that you want and fulfilling those needs ultimately." He could see that she was beginning to understand.

"I will bring you great pleasure, Isabella." Her breathing caught as she watched his eyes change again and saw the intensity of his gaze, filled with desire.

"I won't deny that there will be some pain, but that will lead you to great heights of pleasure in the end. You have to trust me, Sweetheart. I know how difficult it is to hold back on an orgasm, I will help you to do this. It takes practice and you WILL get there. When I give you instructions like 'don't speak' or 'don't cum now' – you need to try and control it. You have your safe words, right?"

As she was about to nod, she remembered and spoke up "Yes, Sir"

He smiled at the title, and felt his erection get a little harder.

"What are they?"

"Green, when everything is fine or I want you to keep doing something. Yellow is for when I am getting uneasy or am unsure and I need you to slow down and Red if I need you to stop."

He smiled his approval. "Good girl and you know that you will not safe word for any silly reason, right?"

This time she nodded and smiled back at him.

"There are going to be times that you will freak out and there will be punishment metered out for that, but you will learn."

He had been holding her hand and rubbing circles over it with his thumb, she felt the tingles where their fingers met. She knew that every word he spoke was from his heart.

"I do trust you. I know that you will never hurt or harm me. Please just be patient with me, okay?"

He leaned over and took her in his arms, Bella was sure that she felt the earth move! "I love you, Edward"

"As I love you, Bella".

They sat this way quietly touching until Bella let out a giggle. Edward pulled back and looked at her "What?"

"I almost had a heart attack in your playroom earlier. Ali was so great and open with me, and I was fine until I looked up and saw the chains hanging from those pulley things and I really began to freak out! It took her a while to calm me down. Um, Edward? I'm not sure if I want to try that hanging off the ground stuff now, okay?" She looked at him nervously. Would he be upset?

He was smiling at her. "That is just fine, Baby, you really need to be quite fit for that anyway. Would you like to have a session in the playroom with me tonight, Isabella? I am asking you, so you can refuse if you want to."

She felt her heart begin to race and her breathing sped up. Oh! My! YES!! VERY MUCH YES!

"Eager Baby?" he was looking at her in amusement. Oh Shit! Did she just say that out loud? Judging by his grin, she did. She shrugged her shoulders and winked at him. "It must be your bad influence on me."

He laughed and with that there was a knock at the door. He opened it to find Rosa with dinner.

Bella sat at the tiny dining room set as Edward served her. Dinner was delicious and the conversation flowed easily. They spoke about their taste in books and movies and once again Edward ended up talking about his family and Bella couldn't but hope to meet these people that Edward obviously loved and missed.

After coffee, Edward stood up and held out his hand. Bella didn't hesitate to take it. She was a little nervous and felt like what they had done before was like a dress rehearsal of a play and that this was opening night.

When Edward spoke up suddenly at the door of their room she jumped a little. "Isabella, go to the playroom and wait for me like I taught you. Do not speak or look at me until I give you permission." He squeezed her hand and let it go.

She left quickly and almost ran up the stairs in her enthused state. The lights were off, so she left the door open and took her position on the floor facing the door.

She put her hands behind her and sat down on her legs. Her head went down and she kept her eyes on the floor. She breathed slowly and deeply and tried to relax her muscles, but she felt her lower body flutter and she felt her juices leak for him.

She heard soft footsteps as he entered the playroom. He put the lights on a very low setting and the shadows fell over the vast area. She didn't dare look up, she felt that tingle and knew he was watching her.

He walked around and she could hear him open and close drawers and cupboards. She wondered what he was getting out and felt a shiver of anticipation run down her spine.

He spoke up "Get up Isabella and take off all your clothes. Put them on the chair by the door and then come to me"

She jumped up and quickly undressed and folded everything over the chair. She turned round and walked to him. She looked up quickly and saw that he was wearing a pair of soft black leather pants. He hung low on his hips and his 'V' stood out, making her want to lick him there. She swallowed quickly and lowered her eyes.

Edward felt his cock get painfully hard. She had been waxed! He could see her Mons smooth and pink. She was trying to kill him! "Get onto the table and lie face down, extend your arms over you head. Legs open"

She did as he told her and felt him bind her legs open. He trailed a hand up her leg and groaned. He moved around her and pulled her hands up until he bound these as well. It felt like leather cuffs on her hands and legs and although she could move slightly, she could not get free.

He taped he backside lightly "Stop moving"

Edward trailed his nose down from her neck, across the length of her back, dropping light kisses as he began to speak.

"Tonight is about pleasure. Even instruments of pain can be used for pleasure. You may not cum until I give you permission to do so. If you get close or I am going too fast, use your safe word, YELLOW and I will slow down – you may vocalise and make a noise and you will answer me if I ask you a question. Do you understand?"

"Yes Sir"

"Tell me how this feels" he brought his hand down on her ass.

"It stings a little, but it feels good."

She felt him pick up something and then she felt 2 sharp smacks on her bum one after the other.

He showed her the table tennis bat thing, "bat?"She asked scrunching up her nose.

She felt his hand again "No talking without permission remember?"

He laughed "Paddle. How was that?"

"A little stingy, but still okay, um good" she amended she felt the wetness pooling and blushed a little.

He walked behind her and she heard him pick up something and put the paddle away.

He stood just out of her line of vision. "I am holding a riding crop, how does that make you feel?"

WHAT? "Um, n-nervous"

She felt him run his hand over her back and up to her neck, he moved it down again, trailing his fingers down the crack of her ass, just brushing against her newly waxed lips, where her juice was oozing out of her. She couldn't stop the whimper.

"Do you trust me, Isabella?" The Voice spoke in her ear.

"Y-yes Sir". Anything! Anything for him.

"Don't be nervous, I will make you feel so good, little girl." He spoke softly and as she relaxed he brought the crop down lightly onto her cheek. Before she reacted he did the same on the other one.

As she gasped he brought the crop up against her sex. This time she let out a squeaky "fuck!"

"How is that?"

"So, so very good, more please" she would beg if she had to.

He did it again 3 times more. Each time the tip clipped her clit.

She was moaning now and trying to move to get more of a connection. She was breathing heavily, just a little more, please touch me, please – her thoughts were screaming at her.

She felt that feeling of being so very close to the big prize, she was going to come...

"Do not cum, Isabella. Control!" He growled and flicked the crop against her inner thigh, harder.

She jumped and felt the tension lesson. She concentrated on slowing her breathing, she thought of the portrait that she had to work on and made a mental list of what she had to buy for her new apartment.

"Good girl" her murmured and kissed her shoulder gently.

"Could this be your favourite on so far?"

"Yes, Sir".

"Let's see what else we have". He moved away and she felt the loss of his body by her side.

He released her legs and then her arms and massaged them quickly.

"Get up and stand in front of the pole."

Bella quickly obeyed him.

She heard movement and heard him take off his pants.

"Hands up above your head". She obeyed.

He used a length of rope that hung from a hook on the pole and lightly tied her hands, comfortably but firmly. "Now, step forward and press into the pole. Legs apart. Wider."

She tried to stand with her legs as wide apart as possible and still be able to stand.

Edward stepped in front of her. "This is a flogger, Isabella, feel it". He stepped back and lightly flicked it so that the tails curled around her lower back and across her stomach. Not really sore, it just heightened her arousal again. She squirmed now and he did it again, a little higher and this time it caught the edge of her nipple.

"Oh!" She moaned.

"Like that, Baby?"

"Yes, Sir"

He leaned forward and pressed lightly against her body, she felt his breath on her neck. "Do you want more on your nipples?"

"Please, Sir. Please"

She heard the smile in his voice. "You ask so nicely, Isabella. Step back from the pole and turn around then lean back against the pole."

She followed his instructions.

"I want your legs open, Isabella!" He flicked the flogger at her thighs, the tails curled around her thigh and she felt the sting on the inside, almost like a pinch.

"Ow! Ow!" She quickly spread her legs wider.

He looked at her pouting lips and chuckled "Oh! Come on! 'ow' indeed! Stop being silly and listen to me the first time and you won't have and 'ow'moments".

She glared down at the floor, remembering just in time not to look at him.

She quietened down and he flicked the flogger across her breasts. "Good?"

"Very good, Sir".

Again

And again.

She was moaning now and she felt that coil deep inside her pulling, pulling, almost there

"Please, please...Sir, please...I need..." She couldn't anymore, she didn't care if he spanked her now, she needed release.

Edward quickly untied her and picked her up. He set her down on the bed. She lay down and her rubbed her arms and legs. He rolled her over and rubbed her back. She was a mass of nerve endings and every touch of his hands was like adding a flame to the fire burning inside her.

"You have been such a good girl tonight. I am so very proud of you. I want to give you release now, Isabella, is this what you want?"

"Please, please touch me. Please".

He rolled her over and came down between her legs, resting his weight on his forearms.

Bella looked at him directly for the first time. "Can I touch you, Sir?" she asked.

He groaned now, taking in the look of unadulterated lust on her face. "Yes"

She reached up and pulled him down to her, claiming his lips, almost frantic for the contact, the friction.

"Fuck me, take me, please" She begged against his mouth.

Edward moved and his cock slipped inside her. She was so wet that he pushed all the way in with ease. He was dripping and as his pushed inside her, he felt her walls clamp around him and she screamed against his mouth as she came in a rush.

"Stay still" he said and he withdrew from her centre only to push into her again. He leaned down and sucked on her nipples, using his fingers to pull and pinch her nipples.

He drove his hard, throbbing cock into her over and over, keeping eye contact with her.

She closed her eyes as she felt her orgasm grow close again.

"Look at me!" Her eyes shot open. "I do this to you, Isabella. I do this for you, do you understand? Tell me"

"You, only you. Always you, Sir"

And once again he felt her walls tighten around him and he shot his cum into her hot core.

"Are you okay?" He kissed her tenderly.

"So much more than okay. Thank you, Babe"

"Come. Let's take a bath and then we can clean up the playroom."

They had a leisurely bathed in the bathroom en suite that was huge and held a sauna as well as a whirl pool and then Edward showed Bella how the playroom was to be cleaned. They replaced the linens and remade the bed. The dirty laundry was carried downstairs and was to be put into their hamper.

Once downstairs they climbed into bed. Edward lay with his head on her stomach as she ran her hand through his hair. He hummed as he read through his script.

She felt so utterly content and happy. Could this last? Could this become her life? She wanted to think so.

She wanted to test Edwards control and an idea began to take hold in her mind. Did she even dare to implement it? Just the thought made her shift her weight.

Edward rolled over and asked her to putout the light. He fell asleep quite quickly, but Bella lay awake for a while. She wanted to try her hand at being in charge, just once, but how would she ask Edward? Was that even allowed? Would he be her sub for a change? Hmmm, perhaps she could ask Ali or Jazz for advice. Her eyes began to close and she snuggled into Edwards back, spooning him for a change.
