Chapter 5 The Invite
2 Years Later
Edwards POV
Sitting in my office going over the budget plan for the year it takes for ever. I haven't been able to concentrate. After five hours the numbers all look the same. "Mr. Cullen, Mr. Black is here to see you." I look at the schedule it doesn't say I have a meeting with Jake. "Thanks you Tanya send him in." There's a light knock on the door before Jake sticks his head in "Hey buddy!" as he walks into my office. "How are you doing Jake , I wasn't expecting you do we have a meeting?" Jake runs the human resources department 6'5, all shoulders and muscles, bronzed skin, dark hair and burning dark brown eyes. I call him FBI which stands for Fucking Big Indian "no man but I wanted to run something by you." I gestured for him to have a seat , "what's on your mind,", "Remember how I told you an old friend of mine is a partner in the Prestige Noir store." I nodded, "well there are these parties she has a few times a year and I just got my invitation and I wanted to know if you would want to come." Everyone who is into this kind of things, have heard of theses parties, but it's almost impossible to get an invitation. "Aren't these by invite only and I do not want to come as your sub." I teased him. He laughed "good one, no I was going to call her and ask her to give you an invitation. She's a really good friend when we were younger she used to make mud pies with me. But she moved away and I haven't heard from her until about a year and a half, I was in Star Bucks and she was there reading. So I spent some time checking up and once she found out I was into D/s she insisted I come. " He smiled remembering the memory. This sound like it could be fun "sure Jake sounds good." And smiles and gets ready to leave. "Ok Ill gets back to you about it. Talk to you later Eddy" I frown "don't call me Eddy my name is Edward." I say as the door closes I can hear him laughing down the hall. I hope he can get me in.
After along day of work I went home and had a glass of wine and decided to do some research about these parties. I was shocked at what I found out. Prestige Noir stores are run by two people Paul Hawkly the original founder he started it eleven years ago. He took his inheritance and opened an on line story that had rare pieces of equipment and also promised discretion. The stores became famous world wide for there range of collections. He opened one store that has multiplied. Nine years into the business he took on a partner names Isabella Swan she has taken over more or less the North America sector while Paul dose the European area. And when I looked at a picture I was drooling. She was wearing tight leather halter-top dress with 4inch heals and had a whip in her hand I was hard install. Wow what more can I say. It says they have these parties about 6 times a year and there vary exclusive the who's, who's of BD& D/s play go. They have never gotten any picture of the goings on in these parties. And when asked to comment about the parties all they say is that there isn't anything like it. Ring, ring I jump "fucking phone". I pick up my cell it Jake "Cullen" "hey there Eddy boy I just got off the phone with Bella and she said she will add you to the guest list and someone will drop off the invite tomorrow at your office."I smile big this is going to be great "thanks Jake and for the last time my name is Edward see you tomorrow." He laughs "anytime buddy." Wow Jake can pull some strings decided to have a sandwich and go to bed. And maybe I will be able to meet Bella. Maybe she will have something to offer.
The next day I was at work waiting impatiently for the invite. By one o'clock I figured that she only said yes to make Jake feel better and wasn't planning on actually sending the invitation at all. "Mr. Cullen Mr. black is here to see you." Good old Jake coming to make sure I got the invite "send him in." Jake walks in looking excited. "Did you get your invitation yet?" I shook my head. His smile fell he comes to sit down then he pulls out his phone dials a number "who are you calling." He looks at me and smiles and puts it on speaker. "Prestige Noir North America how can I direct your call?"My face went white "Miss Isabella Swan please." My eyes widened he is really calling her at work I tried to mouth no don't, but he just blow me off "Miss Isabella Swans office Angela speaking how can I help you?" "Hey Hun its Jake is Bella free?" "Hey Jake she in a meeting right now she wont be done for another two hours. Is it important?" "Of course it's important I wouldn't be calling her at work if it wasn't." I knew this wasn't important I hope she won't be mad "ok Jake can you hold on a minute." "Thanks hun." Oh my god "What are you doing Jake she's in a meeting right now? I would be pissed." He just shrugged and smiled "I have hook-ups." "Jake ill patch you though". That just made his smile bigger and he nodded. "Jake what's wrong is everything ok?" a very concerned voice asked. "Yeah of course baby girl just wanted to make sure you sent out my friends invite." There was a long pause "you pulled me out of a meeting to ask me if I sent out your friends' invitation?" I look at Jake she sounded mad but his smile just got bigger "yep that is why I called." There was another long pause then she starts to laugh. "I said I would Edward Cullen right?" I looked at him with relief she see the humour "yeah that's him." "I told Felix to take it to his office if it hasn't come yet it because he has a few things to do first. But I have to go I am trying to open a store right now. I love you Jake, take care." "Love you too my honey bunches of oats." There was a laugh and then the line went dead. I look at Jake" honey bunches of oats? What's up with that" he laughs "she keeps boxes of the shit at her work so she can eat it through out the day."
"See I told you she would send you one." I smiled "so who is Felix?", "Felix is one of her subs and Demetri is the other." "She has two?" I was shocked it didn't say that one the sit anywhere, "yeah she says one isn't good enough they have been with her for about 2 years. I think they all like together in Paul's old house. But it's not something I came out and asked her Bella is a vary private person." We talked a bit more "Mr. Cullen there's a man named Felix Giordani here to see you, he has an invitation that he has to give to you personally." I smiled, "send him in", the man that walked in was nothing what I expected he was huge. Huge doesn't even explain it, "hey Felix how have you been?", Jake gets up and shakes his hand. "not bad some shit different day Miss Swan has been busy with the new business deal not we haven't had anytime with her cant wait till Friday it going to be mint. And she called and told me how you already called her in the middle of her meeting about this said invitation. If I did shit like that I wouldn't be able to sit for a week." He smiles then Felix looked at me ,"oh yeah Felix this is Edward Cullen, Edward Felix." I extended my hand, "nice to meet you" he shakes my hand "same here, so here's the invitation and all the information you will need, are you bring someone?" I hadn't thought of that yet. "No." He nodded ok then are you planning on participating in the booths?" I looked at him puzzled; he just smiles and looks at Jake ,"you didn't tell him did you?", Jake shook his head, "I think its one of thoughts things you have to see to believe." Both men start to laugh, "what ever you say man. Mr. Cullen it's nice to meet you", "Edward please, and nice meeting you". He was half way out the door and turned around "oh Miss Swan said she can't wait to meet you." He smiled and walked out.
Friday couldn't come fast enough I was so nervous Bella in that picture is all I thought about all the things I would do to her. It didn't matter if I was sleeping, wake or working she pledged every thought. Jake and I were going to show up together with his sub Leah. My sub Tanya isn't disciplined enough to go to this kind of event. So instead of embarrassing myself, I didn't mention this to her. When Friday finally came I decided to wear a blue Gucci suit with a black dress shit and the hair well it was in its usual order of disarray. Jake decided to come and pick me up in the limo then head straight to the party. He was wear black dress pants with a white shirt, Leah was wearing a red evening gown. We arrive after eight o'clock it took us 20 minutes to get in the door. Jake got me a glass of wine, I looked around for Bella and couldn't see her any where. I am now on my second glass of wine ad I realize that these are well to do people that I didn't even know where into this kind of thing judges, lawyers, senators and a few movie stars. People who are respected no wonder no one knows what happens at these parties. All of a sudden I feel this electricity I don't know where it's coming from so I look in the direction its coming and I see her I am I hard instantly.
She walks in wearing a tight leather floor length black dress with two monstrous guys on leashes. I recognized the on being Felix the other one must be Demetri. Even if she was the Dom these men were vary possessive of her you could see it that's when Demetri made eye contact with me and he didn't look to happy about the way I was looking at her. Then our eyes meet and I had to gab something to stop my self from falling. She noticed the reaction , laughed and started to make her way over to us. Jake walked forward and gave her a hug and kissed her on the check. Demetri stiffens I think I hear him growl. "How are you tonight Miss Swan?" ,Jake asked I was shocked by the formality. "Could be worse, Paul is coming but his flight is running late." This time she hears Demetri growl and turned to look at him. He put his head down and go down on his knee and she turned back to face me he obviously doesn't like Paul. She stuck out her hand to me, "And you must be Mr. Cullen. The owner of Cullen inc. dealing with the advance met of technology doing with surgeries with robots. I am happy you were able to make it on such sort notice", I was in awe of this woman. And I kissed her hand before releasing it "please call me Edward". She gave the most dick hardening smile, "call me Miss Swan. I have to go gentlemen I hope you enjoy the night and Ill come by Edward so we can talk." I smiled "sounds lovely." She turned around "Come", I almost came in my pants on command. I almost followed but then Demetri gave me a look and I realized she wasn't talking about me. She walks to another group and starts talking.
"Wow", was all I could say, "Leah go find a new toy here's five-hundred if it's more came and get me." She smiled and nodded "yes master". She takes the money and walks away. Once she was out of hearing range "I know I have wanted to hit that like there is no tomorrow. She used to be more the sub quality then two years ago she changed and became confident sexy. But though two she has are jealous just because they do as they are told doesn't mean that extended to anyone else and Demetri can get dangerous the only one that can touch her is Paul and he just doesn't get hit. But he gets the look, she and Paul have a fucked up relationship it's hard to explain". I nodded not really understand but then I remembered , "Why dose she go by Miss Swan?"He laughs, "Well she loves power and that's a respect thing she's crazy anal about shit like that especially at these parties".
I watched as she made her rounds in the room talking to different people captivating the entire group but every once and a while she would make eye contact with me she would smile and blush. My heart skipped a beat. There was just something about her that made you want and respect her. I wish there was going to be time to dance so I had an excuse to touch her and hold her as if she was mine. Where the fuck did that come from? Then came the dinner I noticed she was only sitting with Felix and Demetri. They were laughing and enjoying each others company. I wonder if she will ever enjoy me like that. Someone you could enjoy talking to and feel comfortable to talk about your feeling. "Edward did you hear me?" ,I looked at Jake who had a huge smirk on his face. " No actually I did not what did you say?" ,he shook his head , "I said If you keep looking at her like that we are going to have some trouble with Demetri . Felix doesn't seem to like your fixation either". When I looked back I noticed they were both glaring at me. Then she got up and headed towards the exit while they stayed at the table after a couple of minutes, I decided to see where she went.
When I go though the exit I find her leaning on the wall smoking. I cleared my throat to get her attention. "Hello Edward, I was wondering how long it would take you to follow me". Still has her eyes closed with a smile playing across her face. "Is there anything that I can help you with?", I realized I did not think this far ahead so I said the first thing that came to mind. "How did you know all those things about my company?" ,then she looked at me and smirked, "I know that kind of stuff about all the guests. These are vary exclusive parties so Paul always felt that you should know things like that. Just like I know you have never been married, you have had five subs and is currently trying to brake in a new one but didn't think she would act right so didn't bring her tonight". Taking another drag of her smoke, my mouth is hanging open, "how did you know all that about the sub.", She laughed ,"well I don't just give an invitation to anyone , Jakes friend or not. While I was doing some research and found out I know some of the girls. I only talked to the last one. Then I heard you have a sub and I put you and a guest but you showed up by your self which tells me she isn't trained well enough". She looked away and took one more drag before she step on in. "Ready to go inside I have a speech to do since Paul isn't here yet". I opened the door wide and nodded, "after you Miss Swan." giving her my sexist smile I could. She smiled and blushed. I knew it worked, "may I escort you in?" she looked at me for a minute before she took my arm. And it felt like this sexual electrical current that made me want to throw her against the wall and take her here and now ,"that would be wonderful Mr. Cullen". I wonder if she can feel it to or am I crazy.
Once I walked her back to her table she said thank you and she would talk later. I walked to my table to see Jake with a big smirk on his face but he chose to say nothing but I don't think I will get a way so easy with Demetri. "So Jake, how did she come to have two subs?" he looked like he didn't want to tell me. "I already told you she said one wasn't good enough." I gave him a look and he signed I knew he would tell me know "Well all I know for sure is that she was Paul sub. You will get to meet him later. And then something happened and he made a couple of interviews for her but she couldn't decide which one she would like. Paul trying to please her told her to ask if they would be ok sharing her. And I guess they didn't. But she never talked about it with me this is just what people said." She got up and walked to the stage patiently waited for everyone to stop talking. "Good evening everyone let me start by thanking you for attending tonight's celebration and how over the past eleven years. I have only been a partner in this company for two years. But have a lot for experience in use of all the devise here on sale so don't hesitate to ask." I would love to try some of the devises on her any day or even let her do it to me. This is not good to be sporting a hard on all night.
She smiled, making eye contact with me before looking forward and her eyes twinkled. They fucking twinkled, I turn to see who she seen. "Hey Jake who's that?" he looks and has a big smile "that's Paul". As I watched him you could see the adoration and love her was sending her. "Unlike Paul I am not going to do a forty-five speech" ,everyone laughed, "and one that note here is the foundation of Prestige Noir fashionably late Paul Hackly". Everyone clapped except Felix and Demetri. "Where are you running off to I have something to ask in front of all these people so then you can refuse me". People laughed and she cross her hands over her chest and raises an eye brow he gets down on one knee. My heart stops this can't be happening I just met her I didn't even get a chance. Pulls out a large box now I am confused she puts her hand over her mouth she must know what it is. "Two years ago this day I gave you a new collar do you remember?" ,tears are coming down her face and she nods. Demetri and Felix look livid. It looked like they were forcing them selves to stay put. "You wear a midnight REDUX CHARLES CHANG with the black shoes you could barely walk in. And that was the night everything changed for us. But I was hoping for the reminder of the night if you would be my sub again?", not what I was expecting and her subs looked murderous. "Of course I will". He stood up while she was kneeling , "with this collar it marks you as mine you will be obedient and obey me I am your master, will you accept my collar? You may answer", with her head she answered, "yes master I will accept your collar". That is so fucking hot ,and he put the collar on her as I wish it was my collar she was wearing "You may stand and look at me". And then he kisses her I don't mean a peak I mean tongue and everything. It wasn't a fast kiss either it lasted at least 2 minutes Demetri and Felix left when he started kissing her. When he was done they looked in each others eye and she blushed. That was support to be mine. The kiss the long eye conviction and the bush that should all be mine. What the hell is wrong with me!
She walked off stage and sat at the table by her self. It didn't even looked like she cared that they weren't there. So I thought I should go and join her while Paul doses his 45 minute speech. As she seen me approach she smiled but put her head down. God have mercy. I bet she was the best sub ever. "Hi again I seen you sitting here alone thought I should keep you company till the speech is done." She smiled, "sure sounds good". Now this was different, where is the confident women I seen twenty minutes ago. This woman surprises me in all the right ways. "How long were you Paul's sub?", she looked at me as if she wasn't sure how to answer "three years". I wonder how much she would be willing to tell me. So far so good so I thought I should keep going. "What made you change your mind and become and Dom". When she looked up I noticed the change the confident woman was back. "Mr. Cullen I suggest if you want to play twenty questions that we do it over dinner". A small smile playing on her lips. What I wouldn't give to have that mouth on my dick right now. "Miss Swan would you be willing to go to dinner with me?" ,she thought about it for a minute. "How about you call my office on Monday and we will talk". Then she put her head down but still smiling. When I looked up I could see Paul glaring at me. "Thanks for coming everyone I am going to get the music playing and enjoy the rest of the evening." He was walking off stage and talking to people on the way down but he never lost eye contact with where she was. This fucker is going to be a problem this women keeps a lot of men around her that feel the need to protect her.
"Ill leave you Miss Swan. I will call your office Monday". I took her hand and kissed it before walking a way. I seen Jake talking to some men and decided to introduce my self. But I could feel her, the electricity was amazing and the closer she got the stronger it felt, I watched the way he was always touching her and Felix nor Demetri have reappeared. "Jake buddy how is life treating you?" , Jake smiled and shook Paul's hand, "good buddy let me introduce you to Edward Cullen". I stuck out my hand and gave him a firm hand shack. "So you must be last minute attendant Bella had told me last night you would be attending. Bella dear will you continue doing the rounds to talk to guest while I talk to these gentlemen". "Yes master as you wish". She looked up at me and smiled and made her leave. "So Edward how long have you been doing the Dom thing?", I smiled, "six years". He obviously wants to play twenty questions.
We all watched Bella walk away this is when realize she wasn't wearing any underwear the dress was tight enough you would be able to see it. My dick was throbbing. "She's a good girl not really a Dom at heart but she wants to try it so what could I say. That's why I never got another sub cause I am waiting for the day she's ready to be a sub again. And on that note I want you to realize she is MINE and I don't like how you were looking at her if she decides to become a sub again she will be MY sub no one else. Do we understand?", did he really just say that to me, "well right now she is a Dom and I am not interested in that kind of play". He didn't look satisfied with my answer so I decided to get some answers from him if he wants to talk. "If you have a problem with her with other men why didn't you become her sub?" he looked at me as if she wasn't sure he was going to tell me. "I knew she would want to try this life with someone else I was not willing to become a sub, then she couldn't make up her mind so she has two. Speaking of them where are they?", I laughed, "they left when the make out session started with her.", He smiled , "did you know I was the exception to the contract that she made with them besides them I am the only one allowed to touch her. She won't sleep with me though. They are all living in my house right now I am not around enough I like the house being used it really is her house now anyways". I decided if he was going to talk to see how much info I could get out of him, "how long are you in town?" ,he wasn't sure he wanted to answer, "about two weeks before I go back to Europe unless Bella wants different but I doubt it she's still enjoying the hole Dom thing". I could see the love and longing in his eyes as he talked about her. "But gentlemen if you excuse me I am going to find MY Bella." ,and he nodded and walked away. The rest of the night went without incident I didn't get to talk to Bella again but I kept looking at me and sometimes I think she was looking for me. I decided against watching any of the scenes but I watched her watch them she seemed to enjoy the idea I wonder if she was going to do a scene but by one in the morning I relieved she was going to be a participant.
I got dropped off at my house and decided I would have to think this through. But there where 4 things I was sure about, Bella is a sub to the core, she wants to be a Dom, I was in love with her, and I would do anything and everything in my power to get her!
