I was able to get Alice's attention before I made the long walk to my bedroom and the anger of Edward's hand on my backside. I had to say thanks for backing me up and getting into Victoria's face. I may have gone a little crazy but it was worth it to see She-Devil's face as Edward pushed me away from her. I knew I was going to get punished but at the time, it felt so good to let loose on her, in my own home.

Alice looked at me as she was pulled away from Victoria as well, and gave me a wink and a smile. Emmett had the same pissed off look on his face as Edward's. I know her and I would not be seeing much of each other over the next few days.

I walked in the bedroom and I was surprised to see that Edward was nowhere to be seen. I slowly made my way over to our bed, I could see that he was in the bathroom changing and getting ready for bed. I quickly made up my mind, maybe if I tried to seduce him, he wouldn't be mad about my behaviour anymore. I walked in the bathroom and wrapped my arms around his chest, pressing my lips against his back, leaving a soft wet kiss behind. But that idea was immediately crushed as he pulled my arms from around him and turned to glare at me. Shifting my eyes to the floor, I back up and sit down on the edge of the jacuzzi tub waiting for him to start yelling.

Edward's voice was like cold steel, "I know you were trying to defend me tonight by screaming at Victoria like that," he started, "but it serves to only harden her resolve to keep up this harassment. I asked you not to get involved and you did the exact opposite. Would you like to explain to me why? Or do you just want to know what your punishment will be, because I plan to make sure you never, and I mean never, confront her again." There was a long silence as I thought back to earlier.

"ISABELLA MARIE" Edward yelled to jolt me out of my thoughts.

"Edw..."

"STOP, I have been very lenient with you tonight, I haven't corrected you once about not calling me sir, that was my mistake, but believe me, it will never happen again. What do you need to be calling me?"

"Sir" I replied.

"Very good, now you may continue. But chose your words carefully"

"Edwa" Edward cleared his throat and rubbed his hands together. I sure sign I just screwed up.

"Sorry - Sir, I just couldn't take seeing her here, in my own house. I just exploded, she's making your life miserable. I wanted her to know that she could not get away with this. She is trespassing on my territory and I will not stand for it!" After I finished Edward was still frowning and he was pinching the bridge of his nose. I knew then I was still in for a spanking.

"Your behaviour was still unacceptable, you need to control yourself. After this, I hope you'll think twice before losing your temper, she could have really hurt you. Now, about your punishment, your will be receiving the usual spanking but there will also be a further punishment that should eliminate any future childishness." His tone left me wondering what he's come up with.

He took me by the hand and lead me back to the bedroom. "Keep your clothes on, you want to show off your sexy ruffled panties don't you? Don't move, I will be right back."

While Edward was out of the bedroom, I began to think back over the time we had been together, and how much trouble I have gotten into since we'd been together. How much it turned me on to feel his firm hand on my tender bottom.

Every time I lost my temper and through a tantrum, I was soon receiving an old-fashioned tanning over Edward's knee. Each time I would hear my full name 'ISABELLA MARIE SWAN' or a similarity, I knew I was in deep trouble. Those three words told me that Edward would soon be ordering me to lay over his lap. They would flash pictures in my head of upcoming tears and a throbbing red behind as I faced the corner.

I heard the door open and turned to see Edward standing there, rubbing his hands together once again.

Without a word, Edward walked up behind me and placed his left hand on the small of my back, telling me to bend over and lay on the pillow that was already situated on the bed, while his right began to slowly rub across my ass. I sighed heavily as he gave my right cheek a gentle squeeze and growled slightly when he gave my left one a tender swat. I pushed my ass back against Edward's leg as he continued to give my ass a firm, soothing massage stopping only for the occasional slap to one cheek or the other. Then he stopped.

"Do you know why your getting punished?" my voice stayed firm

"Yes Sir, I confronted SheD..." I landed a hard swat on her already warmed bottom.

"Do you want to try that again?" I bend down and whispered in her ear.

"Sorry Sir, I should not have confronted Victoria after you telling me not to."

"That's right. Will we be doing that in the future?" I asked, slowly running my hands down her sides to her ass, stopping only to wait for an answer.

"No Sir, I will not loose my temper anymore around Victoria."

"That's my girl" With deliberate slowness I unzipped her costume and became to peel it down her body exposing her beautiful rose tinted bottom.

Once again, I began massaging and swatting her ass while Bella continued to whimper. As the rubbing got less, the swats became a little harder. I was soon spanking her with strong, full-strength spanks. Her feet began to leave the floor as the sharp slaps landed across her tender backside. I took a break to massage the area where my hand made contact. I then reached down to grab what I retrieved from our play room..

"Bella, remove all your clothes and climb up on the bed" She smiled, thinking she knew what was to come. "Stop smiling, we're far from being finished, you have been a very, very naughty girl tonight" and with that, I made a loud slapping sound as the paddle I just retrieved made contact with the palm of my hand. Bella immediately turned and caught a glimpse of the new paddle, it had 2 hearts carved into it on the contact part of the paddle. I smiled, it was something new I had bought for 'our' playroom.

"I want you to sit with your legs underneath you and lean over so that your tummy is laying against the tops of you legs with your arms stretched out in front of you. Your well spanked ass will be exposed and hanging slightly off the bed."

Bella gave me an 'are you kidding me look'. Wrong look young lady, as a moment later, I was back to soundly spanking her ass as I stood there. Her eyes always give her away!

"I said on the bed, NOW!" Her order was punctuated with another firm slap to her burning backside.

"Okay, sorry Sir" was all she could say, as she quickly took her position.

Bella winced with every swat and yet she couldn't help but grin as I could see that she was becoming more and more wet. Bella had gone from moist to drenched when I began spanking her on her bare bottom

"Are we going to have to have this conversation ever again?" I took a moment to rub her stinging backside

"No Sir" Bella replied. Tears rolling down my face.

The swats now were coming hard and fast. Bella began to squirm and cry out. Her cheeks were throbbing. Finally, as the spanking reached a fevered pitch, Bella managed to say a few coherent words:

"Please, sir!"

Edward knew by the sound in my voice that this was not just a request for him to stop spanking me. He landed two more swats then began to massage me once again. As he did this, he let his fingers wander between her thighs to explore her wetness. It didn't take long for him to realize that I was on the edge.

Whispering into my ear, "You are a good girl, we are all done. I know you are expecting more, but you are still being punished, so you will have no release tonight." I let out a low moan at the realization of what he just said.

Edward placed a soft kiss on my temple and slowly helped me roll over on my side, being careful not to make contact with my bright red bottom. I peered up at him through exhausted eyes as he adjusted my position on the bed. Gone was the anger on his face, no frustration or guilt present. It was obvious

to him that he simply gave me something which I had been in serious need of for quite some time. A loving, firm hand. I felt complete, I would never want anyone else, he was my everything.

At breakfast the next morning, we had a long discussion about the idea of instituting a stricter domestic discipline relationship. Edward decided, and I did too (after a long and painful lecture)...

Flashback

Isabella! Edward said, putting his coffee cup down on the table. Are you asking for a trip across my knee? I paused, then gulped down the remainder of my grapefruit juice before placing the glass on the table next to his. Not asking, I replied. I think wanting would best describe it. As I spoke, I leaned forward to meet Edward's luscious lips. We kissed, gently at first, then intensely with lust. Edward had a look of shock when I suddenly pushed myself away from him. I immediately through off my robe and slowly crawled across his lap, offering to him my firm, yet still pink backside.

End of Flashback

that I could benefit from a lifestyle that included spankings in response to my verbal outbursts as well as childish tantrums. We agreed on my new list rules and kissed, making it law in the Cullen/Swan household.

"Good morning" Emmett spoke as he made his way into the kitchen.

"Mornin" I mumbled as I was putting the dishes into the dishwasher.

I saw Edward give Emmett a wink "Bella's a little out of sorts this morning"

"Really, so is Alice. There must be something goin around" Emmett let out a little laugh.

"You know what Em..." I was cut off my Edward

"Really Isabella, you are going to start this already. It's only been what...10 minutes since we talked about this?" Edward wiped his mouth and put down his napkin.

"No, I'm not going to start anything" I went back to filling the dishwasher.

"What's up with that? A new Bella?" Emmett said with a sarcastic tone. It took all I had not to speak up.

"Hey Em, grab a coffee and lets go out by the pool and I'll explain." Edward quickly intervened

"So man, what's up with you two?"

"Well, after last night, I decided that Bella needs a little more structure in her life. Jasper did what he could while she lived with him, but I don't think she got a whole lot of guidance before that." Edward lite a cigarette.

"Okay I get it, like daily maintenance for her backside" Emmett was thinking out loud. "Mmmm maybe I should give that a try? What does that entail?"

"We agreed that I was to take my naughty little girl across my knee and spank her bare bottom 10 different shades of red whenever she needs it. As well as every night before she goes to bed, she receives 5 maintenance swats" Edward spoke as he looked over his shoulder to see me standing at the patio doors. I blushed at the thought of Emmett knowing about our new private rules. All I could do was keep quiet for now, after all Edward was leaving for work and I was heading to the gym. But there still is tonight.

"Sorry man, but by the look on Bella's face, she isn't very happy that you told me"

"She's probably just more embarrassed than anything. I'll talk to her when we get home from work, everything will be fine." Edward smiled

When Both Emmett and Edward returned from work, Edward found me in the kitchen preparing dinner for everyone.

"Hey Babe, how was your day?" Edward met me with a kiss

"Good, had a nice workout and did some more organizing of the house. You know, domestic stuff" I wonder if he would catch the sarcasm?

"You can't be still upset about this morning? I'm sure you tell Alice everything that goes on between you and I?"

"Because I wish to avoid another spanking, I will just keep my thoughts to myself" I turned and went back to preparing dinner.

"Smart girl. I will be in my office finishing up some work I brought home"

"Fine, dinner will be ready at 7:00." I replied as I check the roast in the oven.

I had made all his favourites. As I hadn't cooked much before I met Edward, I was a little nervous but it all came out perfectly and was on the table at 7:00 sharp. Edward was always the prompt one, Alice and Emmett were already sitting at the table, mouths watering. By 7:15 Emmett was playing with his cutlery and whining, Edward was still in his office, so I put the roast and vegetable dishes back in the oven. I poured myself a glass of white wine and took my seat at the table. At 7:30, after 2 glasses of wine, Edward finally came out of his office and into the kitchen. All of us staring hungrily at him from our chairs at the dinner table.

"Glad you could join us!" I began sarcastically.

Edward stood in the doorway with a surprised look on his face while I launched into a tirade. I went into great detail about my efforts to make this evening special and how upset I was that he didn't even bother to tell me his was still busy.

"Fuck, your office is only down the hall." I declared

I went on saying that Edward didn't really love me, that he only cared about himself and that I had no idea why we were together. I peppered these statements with extremely fowl language. I was about to grab the carefully prepared table and flip it over in my rage when I suddenly noticed 'the look' on his face.

"What the hell is that look for? I said, my voice softening as he approached.

"Before this goes too far, I was on a call to Victoria's office. I got a message this afternoon from her wanting to set up another meeting." Edward took my arm and walked me to the dinner table and sat me down roughly.

"I was trying to get her to back off and leave my family alone. She was not too impressed by either you or Alice last night and it only ignited her to push on with the idea of me and her getting back into business together." He looked at both Alice and I.

"You could have just told her the way it is and if she didn't like it, well then that's too bad for her! I spat.

"Bella, the way I choose to handle her is up to me and Emmett"

"It is your club after all! I'll put dinner back on the table. I said, walking into the kitchen.

"Dinner can wait! Em, Alice if you will excuse us." Edward spoke in a manner that stopped me in my tracks. I turned around to see Edward's angry glare.

"I just got myself another spanking, didn't I?"

"Don't underestimate yourself!" Edward replied with a slight smirk. "You not only got yourself a spanking, but it will be on your bare backside! Now get in the playroom!"

I both loved and feared that phrase: "get in the playroom". It meant that I was in big trouble and that Edward would soon be rolling up his sleeves for this one. I slowly made my way into the playroom where Edward was waiting, arms folded. Edward took my hand and led me over to the spanking chair.

"Up on the chair and take your position" Edward's voice firm

I was in position as he lifted my skirt up and panties down. Edward gave my ass cheeks a few gentle rubs and squeezes to prepare me for what was about to commence.

"We should get rid of the carpet in here." I said. "It's to hard to keep clean."

"You think? It's softer on your back than tile." Edward replied as he began gently slapping my ass.

"Yeah! You're not the one who has to keep cleaning it!

Making small talk was my way of easing Edward's mind before a spanking. Sometimes it worked. Of course, it never completely got me out of being punished. Once Edward decided to take me over his lap, I was going over his lap! So to speak.

I glanced over my shoulder nervously. "May I ask how bad it will be?

"Yes, you may." Edward said, continuing giving my backside a warm-up.

"So" I replied.

After about 10 restrained swats, I looked back over my shoulder again. "How bad am I going to get it?"

"We both like spicy food right".

"Yes." I replied tentatively.

"Now what are the three levels of hotness?

"Mmm... mild? I hoped that was where he would stop.

"Good. And then next?"

"Medium?"

"Good, now one more." Edward replied as he rolled up his sleeves.

I took a deep breath. "Hot?"

"Perfect!"

"Shit!" I said through pouting lips. "Why do you have to like such spicy food?

"It makes you remember your meal." Edward said and with that he lifted his hand and delivered the first stinging swat.

Bella cried out and tensed up in anticipation of the next one, which also proved to be a real stinger. I soon increased the spankings to an intense level. I smacked her bottom with all the swiftness and force I could muster. She began whimpering and her eyes overflowed with tears.

Her bottom was on fire. Bella tried to steady herself, she wrapped her arms around the back of the chair. Bella tried not to kick, but her reflexes allowed her feet to fly frantically through the air. As the deluge of spanks continued to scorch her burning backside, she began sobbing like a child, apologizing repeatedly through her tears and promised that she would never lose her temper again. Unmoved, I continued spanking her ass. "Okay, step down. I finally ordered.

Bella pushed herself off the chair and stood weeping before me. I took her into my arms, hugging her, kissing her tear-stained face until her crying slowed. I then took her gently by the arm to the corner. I was about to tell her that she was to stand there with her panties down for the next 10 minutes when she beat me to it.

"10 minutes and no rubbing" As she stood in the corner, two thoughts ran through my mind. One, Bella was the most beautiful women I had every seen, and two, I must be the luckiest man in the world.

I returned 10 minutes later. I put my hands on her shoulders and turned her around so she could look into my eyes.

"Wanna have dinner with me?" I asked, laughing as I reached down to gently cup her burning ass. As I did this, I kissed my way down her neck to her chest.

"Yes.." she whispered.

"Good Girl!" I groaned, my voice softened as I pressed my lips against her neck. "First I'm going to rub some cream on your bottom.

Whining softly, Bella unzipped my pants and manoeuvred her hand into my underwear.

"Young Lady, what am I going to do with you?

"Keep loving me?" She replied,

"I'll let you in on something, my naughty girl..." I said. "Your mine, forever and always. No matter how many spankings I have to give you! Isabella, every time you loose your temper and fly off the handle, you will be punished. If you use particularly poor judgement, you will also spend ten minutes standing in a corner with your freshly paddled backside on display. But never ever forget how much I love you today and how much more I will love you tomorrow."

"Edward I love you" She said, as she continued to stroke me. I was loving every second of her touch, but I wanted to make love to her, in our room, on our bed. Not just have sex.

"Bella, please stop! Not here, I want to see you on our bed, totally naked and waiting for me."

"Yes Sir, right away" She smiled and ran as quickly as she could into our bedroom
