2 Isabella

"You know what I miss?" I sigh, cleaning up after our last client of the day. Rosalie cocks her head to the side, ponytail swaying back and forth.

"What?"

"A sub of my own, Rose. Like honestly, I'm so grateful for everything we've built here. But I can't help but feel that void, you know?"

"Hmm, yeah that can be tricky. It's frustrating when you're Domme by day and a single lady by night, isn't it?" she asks, a million-dollar smile on her face.

"Not everyone can have it all, Rose." I chuckle, giving her the look.

"I don't have it all, Isabella."

"Yeah, you do! You've got the perfect body and hair, your face is made by an angel, and your bank account has five zeroes." I cross my arms in front of my chest and laugh at her a little. She deserves it for downplaying herself. "Besides, you've got a delicious hunk of a man at home, worshipping you completely."

"Worshipping? Wow, you're so delusional. You need to get laid, yesterday." Rosalie laughs.

"Tell me about it," I mumble. "Are you coming tonight?"

"Can't, sweets… My mom is coming over for the weekend." Rosalie rolls her eyes dramatically. I know she'd rather come to the party at her brother's club.

"Ah… hiding away your riding crops for the next couple of days, then?"

"Something like that… Although we managed to put her up in the Rivot Hotel." She winks. "One of my regulars is the manager there, and he got me a great deal."

"That's hella smart. Exploiting your customers."

"Shut it, Isabella. Poor dude gets off on it." She chuckles.

"Just let me go all by my lonesome, tonight, then. I don't even have a slave to show off, either." I huff.

"You better watch out, Swan. Looks like you're hosting a pity party for yourself again. Besides..." she nudges my shoulder. "...I hear there's some new meat in town. Jasper told me himself. He invited someone new, but I don't know him. Moved here from New York; apparently, he's a real looker." Rose and her gossip… She and her brother are worse than the Real Housewives of wherever-the-fuck.

My eyes widen. "Hmm… At this point, I wouldn't even care if it was someone new on the scene. I'd be jumping at the chance to break someone new in." Just the thought of exploring a new power dynamic, have a new sub under my wing makes me salivate. It's been months since I've had some fun in my private life, and I'm not sure how long I can handle it anymore.

"He's quite experienced, according to Jasper. But he's a Dom, so no playmate for you, but maybe he brought someone?" She looks hopeful, blue eyes twinkling.

"As if he'd share, Rosalie." I scoff. Even if he did, it's not my style. I don't like sharing the scene with another Dom, or my bed.

"I know a lot of Doms who do… I do, too."

"Well, I don't like to share someone else's property, you know that. My scene, my sub, my fucking rules."

"I know. You're a real hardass, Mistress Havoc."

I shoot her a wink as I dry off my hands, saying goodbye to Rose as she leaves to go pick up her husband. After I set up the alarm for the night, I make my way home, hoping there's indeed someone to play with at Jasper's tonight. Someone who will put an end to this ridiculous dry spell.

So now we've met both Bella and Edward ... I wonder what happens next ;)
