Christmas Break - The Fifth Year
EPOV
As my feet pounded on the treadmill I couldn't stop myself from hoping things were going okay between Bella and my mother. We had turned one of the rooms downstairs into a home gym; once Bella and I started playing more regularly I realized I needed to increase my strength and stamina also. Bella still went to the gym for her yoga and karate classes but mostly we worked out at home together but I was nervous about their lunch and to burn off the energy I was running for the second time today. I had only completed two miles when Evan called down on the intercom telling me I had a phone call.
"Hello"
"Edward, its Thomas from Seattle."
"Hello Thomas, it is good to hear from you. How are things in Seattle?"
"Seattle is great but actually I am calling because Kyle is helping out one of his old clients. She had been charged with assault in Seattle and he was able to get the charges dropped. Turns out she has been charged with assault in Chicago and remembering that he attended Northwestern she called hoping he could get a good attorney for her."
"Oh my god, please tell me the name you are about to say is not Bella?"
"Well, Isabella told him to please contact her husband and let him know she would be late returning from lunch but that she is fine and should have bail posted soon." He was chuckling as he spoke.
"Calling her Isabella doesn't change the facts Thomas. Do you know any of the other facts? She was having lunch with my mother so I am assuming that is who filed the charges against her?" I could not believe this, Bella would not hit my mother no matter how angry Esme made her.
"I know four of them were taken in; Bella, your mother, your ex-wife and her mother. From what Bella told Kyle they should all be charged. I guess it started out verbal and turned physical, I think your ex-wife went after Bella first." He was outright laughing now. "She does keep your life interesting."
"Yes she does. Was Kyle able to help her out or do I need to track down a lawyer for her?" As much as I wanted to go to Bella, life would be easier if I knew the story before we involved the kids.
"He is helping her. He called one of his old classmates who is a defense attorney and sent him down to deal with this for her. He also called his old roommate at Northwestern, the man works in the District Attorney's office, about Bella's case and informed him there was a lot of history between all four involved and to look in to that before he just filed charges to appease the Denali's. He is on the phone with Charlie right now hoping Charlie can pull some strings in Chicago also."
"I can not believe this. She should have called me first."
"I asked Kyle why she didn't and he told me when he asked that question she said and I quote, 'I know Edward will probably turn my ass red over this but I can't have the kids worrying that I beat up their grandmother or their mother either for that matter'. She fully expects to be punished for not calling you and she does only get the one phone call from jail." He was still laughing.
"Laugh it up Thomas. Thanks for calling me. Have Kyle call her lawyer and let her know I am on my way. I will not be bringing the kids with me and she should wait for me. Do you know which station they took her to?"
"I will get the information and text it to you. You will have to call me and let me how this plays out, good talking to you Edward."
"I will call you in a few days and let you know. Thanks Thomas."
I took a quick shower before telling the kids I had to run out for a few hours and that Emily was in charge. I programmed the address Thomas sent me into the GPS and left to pick up Isabella. She definitely had an appointment with the whipping bench later, after I heard the story and was reassured she wasn't injured I was going to turn her fine ass red. I should have been her first call regardless of anything else. As I drove I racked my brain trying to figure out what could have possibly happened to cause this outcome to lunch and came up blank. When I entered the station I could see my mother and the Denali's in one room and asked about Bella. She had already been processed and released, she was in the waiting area with her lawyer waiting for me to arrive.
She rose as soon as she saw me but instead of hugging me like I expected she moved to my left and slightly behind me before introducing me to her attorney, Paul Molina. Her action told me not only was he a Dom but he had recognized her as not only my wife but my submissive also. I shouldn't have been surprised, considering how he was contacted in the first place. I told him I would get the particulars from Isabella later but I needed to know what would happen next. Isabella sat with her eyes on her hands as he explained she has not actually been charged yet it would be a waiting game to see if any charges were filed. He would be in contact with me in a few days after talking to the District Attorney's office and the other lawyers that were sure to be involved but he didn't expect anything to be resolved until after the holidays. When I looked surprised that he would contact me instead of Isabella he explained that she had waived attorney/client privilege almost immediately concerning me and stated that he was to deal with me as much as possible. We spoke for a few more minutes and as we stood to leave Isabella surprised me once again with her request.
"Permission to speak freely Sir?"
"Go ahead Isabella."
"Esme has not been able to reach Carlisle to tell him about this. When Mr. Molina arrived I asked him to look into getting her released also, I believe the only thing left is to pay her fine. I was unsure if Sir would want me to do that or not so I waited."
"You want me to pay her fine so she can be released Isabella? Did you two work anything out?"
"Yes Sir I think we did, at least it is a start."
I turned to Paul. "If I pay her fine can you get her out?"
"Yes, but should charges be pressed she may need to get her own attorney it would depend on the circumstances."
"Fine, I will go pay and see if you can have her released. Thank you for this Paul, I appreciate it. Tell her we will be waiting outside and I can give her a ride back to her car."
After paying my mother's fine Bella and I went outside to wait for her. "After we drop off Esme I want the full story Bella." She nodded her head but didn't speak or look at me. "And what you told Kyle was right, you have an appointment with the whipping bench later for not calling me first. I am the one who keeps you safe and takes care of you Isabella. I understand your reasoning so far but I should not have had to hear this from Thomas." She nodded again and I opened her door so she could wait in the car.
Ten minutes later my mother came out and ran up to me crying. "Thank you Edward. I have not been able to reach your father and I was worried how much time I would spend in there today."
"You are welcome mother although Bella is the one you should be thanking. It was her idea to get you out too."
She reached forward from the back seat and put her hand on Bella's shoulder. "Thank you Bella and not just for having me released."
Bella didn't turn around but she did pat her hand. "You are welcome Esme. Given the chance I would do it again."
Esme chuckled and sat back, the rest of the drive was silent. We pulled up in front of the Four Seasons and I hugged my mother before she got into her car to leave. "I am sure you and Bella have much to discuss Edward. Please call me this evening so we can talk." I nodded at her and watched her drive away.
I turned to Bella and took her hand. "Come Isabella we are talking about this right now." I walked into the Four Seasons and got us a room so we could talk in private. I noticed how nervous Bella looked as we entered the room. I walked over to the couch and sat us down. "Bella, this is me, we can talk about anything you know this. I want you to tell me what happened at lunch and then I want you to tell me why you go out of your way to make things easy on my mother, even when she doesn't deserve it. We are not leaving here until I am satisfied with your answers Bella, all of them. We have always had total honesty and I want that now, especially concerning my mother."
"I'll tell you everything Edward, even about your mother. It's not that I haven't been honest, I'm not sure I understood what was motivating me until today. Esme and I agreed to meet at The Cafe downstairs in the lobby here at The Four Seasons. The place was fairly empty and at first when we started talking it was like our last few conversations. Why did it have to be you, what was I looking for, why wasn't I willing to just walk away? I was on the verge of leaving and coming home to tell you I give up, we would never get along and to try to work out some permanent way you and the kids could see her without me. I still had no idea why she wouldn't just stop and let me explain things to her."
She picked up my left hand and started playing with my wedding band. "At first I had no idea who the woman was that walked up to the table. She looked to be about Esme's age but I had never met her before. It wasn't until her daughter joined us that I realized how much Tanya looks like her mother." She was rocking my wedding band back and forth on my finger and as she spoke I envisioned the scene she was describing in my mind. As if I was a bystander.
"Thank you so much for inviting us Esme. So this is the little harlot who thinks she is good enough to take my Tanya's place." Carmen said to my mother.
"That is her. She not only took my husband but my kids too. You need to watch yourself Bella apparently Eddie boy likes them young so you don't want to get to old on him." Tanya said.
I was shocked they were there Edward and your mother looked a little uncomfortable also so I didn't know what to say at this point.
"Tanya was there when you started pursuing my son so I wanted to give her the chance to confront you and then maybe I would finally get the truth out of you." Esme said.
"You invited the woman you had to pay to stay with your son to give you the truth about me. Do you see how twisted that statement is Esme?"
"Regardless, I want the truth Bella and between you and Tanya I should be able to get it." Esme said forcefully.
"Well, I always knew Bella wanted Edward. I could see it any time they were together and I am still not convinced she didn't attack him when she used to babysit for us..." Tanya started talking.
"Shut the hell up you whore. Let's talk facts. Facts that anyone in Forks can verify. You bad mouthed Edward all over town for years and he did nothing but treat you with respect in public. You would go an about how weak he was, how you walked all over him, you ruled the roost and left him taking care of the kids, and the best ones, how he sucked in bed if he was lucky enough to maintain an erection. And let's not forget the sleeping around. You started sleeping with Seth Clearwater when he was 17. There were others before him, at the reservation. Tanya likes to hang out with the Native Americans. Then there is the threesome with Paul and a 16 year old Quil, while you were still with Seth and married to Edward."
"How do you know all this you bitch?" Tanya yelled.
"Edward hired a detective during the divorce. The pictures of you at the swinger's club in Seattle are particularly juicy. The ones of you doing drugs are just sad. You lost your kids because you were not spending time with them and introduced into their lives a drug dealer. Do Esme and your mother know that you were held in jail in Oregon for weeks for possession and you couldn't make bail? Do they know that you have made no attempt to contact the kids in a year and that you didn't even show up for the hearing to terminate your parental rights? Well ladies did either of you know that?" They both shook their heads no.
"I will say this once for the benefit of Tanya and Esme this is the last time I will say this to you. After this if you still choose to be hostile to me fine I don't give a damn. I love Edward. Yes I crushed on him on high school and I tried to date others but no one ever measured up to him and that is before I even really set my sights on him. He reveres women. He appreciates all things female and it is the sexiest thing to watch, how he treats any woman even strangers and he treats me as if I am the most precious thing in his world. Listening to Tanya over the years is what made me decide to lay my cards on the table with him and take my chances that he would be willing to give me a chance. He was and the rest as they say is history. Esme, I love Edward because he is extremely intelligent, witty, compassionate and passionate about everything he does. He loves his children and while he tries to be their friend he loves them enough to be their parent when needed. He would gladly set aside his wants if they were not in the best interest of his children and that included me. Loving him completes me, he is my other half. I love him because we can stay up and talk all night or just hold each other and not say a word and both are equally satisfying. He shows me in hundreds of ways everyday how much I mean to him and I hope he sees how much he means to me in my actions. Yes he is handsome and wealthy but if he were disfigured and we had to live on the streets if everything else was the same about him I would still love him this much. I am done defending my love and life with him. I am just done Esme. Oh Tanya, Edward has no problem in bed with me. As you well know he has quite the package and with the right woman, me, he definitely knows how to use it. It could be the problem was you, if I had to fuck the most used pussy in Washington State I would be hesitant too."
Bella stopped playing with my ring and looked at me with tears in her eyes. "That is the point things got physical Edward. Tanya slapped me and I punched her. As I was standing over her is when her mother pushed me down and I was trying to get up when I noticed Esme and the police. I am not sure how involved Esme got in the whole mess. We were in the same squad car on our way to the police station when she started attempting to apologize, saying she still didn't understand but knew I only had your best interest at heart. I think she was making an effort but was clueless how to go about it."
I pulled her to me and held her as she cried. "Bella, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I never would have imagined her doing that. I am really at a loss for what to say."
"I just don't understand Edward, how could she truly believe that I am worse for you than Tanya?" I didn't have an answer for her so I held and soothed her until she was able to calm down.
"Bella, tell me why you called Kyle instead of me?" I was trying to keep the hurt and jealousy out of my voice.
"I was the last one to make my phone call. I listened as the other three tried to reach someone and couldn't. Kyle had text me as the police were putting us into the cars, I mean they didn't cuff us or anything, so I knew he would answer my call. I was also concerned with Emily home I wouldn't be able to get through and I needed to talk to someone. When you arrived at the station, they were just allowing Tanya to try to call someone again. And I thought about your cell phone but you don't always keep that near you when you are at home. I am sorry Edward, I wanted to call you first but my need to actually talk to someone had me calling Kyle first. Tanya and her mother were still taunting me as we were sitting there and I just needed out." Bella was very agitated by the time she finished and I just wanted her to calm down.
"Ok, I understand but we will talk to the kids when we get home and come up with some rule or code that when any one of us is away from the house they answer whatever phone is ringing. Maybe we need to get Emily her own line or increase her cell phone package so she uses that all the time. It is my job to take care of you Isabella, a job I enjoy very much."
"Yes Master. Do I still have a punishment coming?"
"Oh you bet you do little girl, but not as harsh as I planned on given the circumstances. Besides we both know you enjoy some spanking as much as I do." She was running her fingers through my hair, she knew I loved it.
"Yes I do Master."
She was leaning in to kiss me when I stopped her. "Oh no, little girl we are not done talking yet. I want to know why you insist on us keeping contact with my mother. The entire reason Bella."
She stood up from the couch. "Can you lay down Edward I want to lay between your legs?" I moved so I was lying on my back and she crawled in between my legs on her stomach. By the time she was comfortable my cock was nestled between her breasts with her head on her arms on my stomach. She could easily look up at me but her face was turned to the side. "Honestly Edward I sat and thought about this myself today and I think it is because of the same reason I get so offended when she insists I must be after your money, my mother."
I didn't see that on coming. "What do you mean?"
"Well I told you my mother took me and Charlie got me back but something I haven't even told Charlie is the reason she took me. She did it to hurt him, plain and simple. It wasn't that she loved me so much she had to take me with her, it was so I wouldn't be with Charlie. When he got me back she made no effort to keep in contact with me, that didn't happen until she met Phil and he was appalled by the fact that she had no contact with me. I am not sure how she talked her way out of that fact with Phil but the few times I have seen them together he has hinted to the fact that Charlie kept me away from her and that is not true. They paid for my apartment during college out of guilt, all she offers me is her money and the truth is I would rather have some affection from her instead of her money but I am never offered that."
She moved so her chin was on her hands and she was looking at me now. "That is why I try so hard to keep some contact with Esme. I know it hurts to be treated that way by a mother. I would rather you guys see her and the love she has for all of you than have you cut her out of your life altogether. I know it hurts you to see her treat me badly and that is why I am willing to stay away. I do not want to be the wedge between you and your mother Edward. You should never question the love she has for you, look at the lengths she is going to."
"Exactly Bella, look at the lengths she is going to in trying to control things. I am not convinced that is from love. It may have started out that way but it morphed into something else entirely."
"After today she has some major sucking up to do before I pressure you or the kids to see her again. I have hit my limit with her Edward. It is one thing to say I'm not good enough for you but another thing entirely to say Tanya is better for you than me. That is delusional."
"She will have to explain her actions today to both of us, because I have no idea where her head is anymore. I would love to be a fly on the wall when she tells my dad about today, he is going to have a fit."
"Speaking of telling people, what do we tell the kids? Not just about today but that Tanya is in Chicago also?"
"I'll figure something out on the way home. We have been here several hours and I told Emily I would only be a few hours, I don't want them worrying. But after they go to bed Isabella, I am turning your ass pink and then fucking the hell out of you."
"Whatever pleases you, Master." Bella said before she scooted out the door.
Bella beat me home and due to the scratches on her face and a slight bruise the kids were all over her wanting to know what happened. She was herding them into the great room to talk to them when I walked in so I took over for her.
"Guys I will give you a brief description of what happened but we aren't going to answer a bunch of questions. We have things under control and that is all that matters. Tanya and Grandma Denali showed up at lunch today and had words with Bella and Grandma. It got a little physical between Bella and Tanya, the police were called and they are trying to sort things out. We don't know for sure if any charges will be pressed but we will deal with that as it happens. Do not go to school and repeat any of this, if asked about it tell them to talk to Bella."
"Do we have to see her while she is in town?" Evan asked.
"No, if you want to see her I will set something up at a restaurant but do not fell obligated to see her."
"Good, I don't want to Dad, Bella is our Mom now." Ethan said as he hugged Bella. I was surprised at how quickly they dropped it after that. After the kids were in bed I locked the house up and when I entered our bedroom I was once again thankful that our bedroom was not only on a separate level from the kids but also on the other end of the house. Isabella was kneeling naked at the end of our bed waiting for her punishment.
I moved the whipping bench away from the wall. "Up on the bench Isabella." She moved to bench and assumed her position. "Do you remember what you are being punished for?"
She nodded. "Good girl but you may speak."
"Yes Master, I didn't call you first and I should have."
"Yes you should have. Count them out Isabella, 15 with the riding crop." It would be the first time I used the crop for punishment like this but she broke a major rule by not calling me first regardless of her reasoning. The first five were fairly soft and she took them without a sound but I could see her thighs starting to glisten. The next five were harder and her ass was a getting pink now. She had slowed her breathing to deal with pain and I made sure to rub her ass between each to soothe the sting. "You are doing great Isabella. Remember to stay quiet except for counting." She now had a light sheen of sweat on her back and her thighs were coated with her juices. She wasn't a pain slut and was rarely punished like this, so when it happened she enjoyed it to a point. The last five were the hardest she had gotten to date and she had tears running down her face. "Ssshhh Isabella you did very well with your punishment." I continued to softly rub her cheeks to soothe her. "I believe I also said I was going to fuck the hell out of you."
I ran my fingers through her folds. "So wet. I am going to fuck you kitten and you are not to cum. No relief for Isabella tonight." I forcefully entered her. "Just Master, I want you to answer me for now little girl." I didn't slow my pace and could feel her walls fluttering around me. "Do not under any circumstances cum Isabella, understand?"
"Yes Master."
"Who takes care of you Isabella?"
"You Master."
I put one of her legs on the bench to get a deeper angle. I was testing her control and at this point I didn't know if she could hold off or not because damn it felt good. "Who protects you and keeps you safe?"
"Y-y-you do Master." She was having a hard time, I could feel her trembling.
"So close Isabella, do not cum."
"Yes Master."
"Fuck I love your pussy girl. Who do you call when you have a problem kitten?"
"M-m-mast-ter."
"That's right little girl." I felt my balls tighten and with two hard thrusts came inside her. "Fuck Isabella, I'm cumming." I pulled out of her, cleaned us both up, freed her hands and carried her to bed. "No touching yourself Isabella." She whimpered but nodded as I rubbed the lotion on her butt cheeks then covered us both up and pulled her to me to sleep.
Bella did not sleep well, she was very restless. It was just after sunrise and she was rubbing her ass against my morning wood. I reached down and her thighs sticky with her juices, she must have been flowing most of the night. I moved one arm under her and pushed her back into me right above her pubic bone and I slid into her. Her gasp alerted me to the fact that she was awake now.
"God but you feel good Isabella." I was slowly pumping into her. "I can feel my cock moving inside you under my hand kitten." I pressed my hand down and she moaned. "Does that feel good little girl?"
"Yes Master, feels sooo good. May I cum Master please?"
"Not yet kitten. You are so wet Isabella. Did you have a difficult night?"
"So horny Master." I slowly started to circle her clit and her breathing picked up. "Please may I cum?"
"Not yet Isabella." I picked up my pace and felt my stomach start to tighten. I moved my hand and tugged on her nipple ring whispering in her ear. "Cum for kitten, cum now." I loved to watch her come undone, it was a thing of beauty.
"Masterrrrrr" She moaned softly as I thrust into her one more time before exploding.
"Isabellllaaaa" I said and I pulled her closer to me as I emptied into her.
"Thank you Master." I couldn't help but chuckle. She was used to being denied orgasm when we lived in Washington because of the distance or play parties but this was the first time I had worked her right to the edge and then denied her for no other reason than because I could.
"Mmmm, thank you my naughty little girl. That's the way to wake up in the morning."
Bella giggled softly before turning to look at me. "I am sorry about yesterday Master. I was trying to do things the best way possible and I overstepped. It is your place to do that how you see fit, I trust you. I apologize for forgetting that for a moment."
I lightly swatted her bottom. "Mistakes will happen Isabella, this I understand. Yes we have been doing this for five years but until the last few months it has mainly been from a distance and then with the move and everything...we are just starting to get our feet under us with the new dynamics of our D/s relationship. We will find the balance I am sure of it. I love you Isabella."
She snuggled in closer to me. "I love you Master." We went back to sleep until Ethan knocked on the door telling me I had a phone call from my father. With that Bella groaned and got out of bed. "I'll go down and start breakfast. Take the call in here Edward, we don't want to risk the kids finding out the entire truth." I nodded as I picked up the phone.
"Good morning Dad."
"Is it really Edward?"
"Things are fine here. How are things with you and Mom?" Truthfully I wasn't sure I wanted to know but manners had me asking anyway.
He laughed before sighing. "Actually Edward, I think yesterday may have been the best thing to ever happen to your mother. She was shell shocked by the time she returned home and explained things to me."
"I can imagine she was. Bella told me everything that happened and said she thought maybe it could be used as a starting point. She said it seemed as if Esme's eyes had finally been opened but she also isn't holding her breath. I have to admit I never expected her to pull something like this."
"I didn't either Edward. Esme admitted she was shocked by most of things Bella said about Tanya. Because of her family and upbringing she never thought Tanya would be capable of half of what she did. But what surprised her most was Bella's explanation of her love for you. She is making an effort Edward."
"Then why isn't she the one calling?"
"She is making an effort, she isn't going to change overnight and to be honest I am not sure she is ready to eat the amount of crow it will take for her to get back in your good graces yet. Baby steps son, meet her part of the way."
"What did she hope to accomplish by doing that. The kids and I have both told her that we choose Bella, so why even pull that stunt?"
"It was a last ditch effort by a desperate woman I think. She hasn't been able to explain her reasoning to me but I hope in time she will."
"Fine, I will talk to Bella. We can meet for dinner at The Pier tomorrow night and she had better make an effort Dad. Please stress to her that things will be rough with us, with me, until she actually apologizes to Bella. I will not accept anything less than a full apology."
"I will and thank you Edward. I will call later with the details for dinner. I love you."
"Love you too Dad."
I was not at all surprised when Bella thought dinner with my parents was a good first effort. The kids took more convincing than she did, they did not want to go but Bella nagged and guilted them it going. The 'discussion' as Bella insisted on calling it (it sounded a lot like an argument to me) ended when Ethan huffed out to the car calling over his shoulder, "Fine but if she starts her picking on you with her crap again I'm leaving." The ride to the restaurant involved proper language and Bella did not think crap was a suitable word. I watched in the rearview mirror as the kids rolled their eyes and I pointed out to them their mother was a English teacher what did they expect to happen.
We had dinner at Bubba Gump at The Pier and it was interesting. I have to admit my mother was trying, she wasn't overly nice to Bella but there were no dirty looks or indignant scoffs and she even asked a few questions. Evan tried to ask Esme about being arrested but one swift kick and look from Bella had him back tracking fast. So Evan acting like the 10 year old he is decides to embarrass Bella by telling a story that happened two weeks ago at her school Christmas party, to bad it backfired on him.
"So Grandma we are at Mom's Christmas party for work, they had it at the University and this one teacher from the middle school will not leave her alone. He keeps looking at her and trying to talk to her and Dad is giving him dirty looks. So Mom goes to the drink table..."
"I would stop right there if I were you Evan. I may have dirt you don't want everyone to hear." Bella said giving him the look that says 'I'm warning you'. Silly boy continues with his story.
"She is walking back towards Dad and the teacher isn't paying attention and he runs right into Mom knocking her down of course. He goes to try to catch her but ends up falling on top of her." Evan is laughing by now. "Mom is wet from her soda spilling all over her, this guy is lying on top of her and Dad is mad trying to get to her. So he is trying to get off of mom, she is trying to stand up and by the time Dad gets to her the guy has his hands on her butt like he is wiping something off. Dad pulls him off Mom and gives him a look that sends the guy running. It was funny." Evan is laughing up a storm, the others are chuckling and Bella starts shaking her head.
"Evan, Evan, Evan - you are playing way out of your league little man. Even funnier than that story is how about 30 minutes later when I was looking for you to go home I found you out in the hall..."
"OMG you said you wouldn't tell anyone about that." Evan said as he grabbed her arm.
"All bets are off now and I tried to warn you to be quiet and you kept talking. Anyway I found Evan in the hall with his math teacher's 12 year old daughter's tongue shoved down his throat looking as if she was trying to suck his face off."
"What?" I asked.
"It was quite the sight." Bella said giving Evan an innocent look.
"That was cold Mom." He told her.
"Don't dish it unless you're prepared to eat it also." Bella told him and started talking to Carlisle about work. The rest of the dinner was slightly more relaxed. On the way home Emily and Ethan teased Evan relentlessly until Bella turned around and told them she had dirt on them and not to forget that. The backseat fell silent suddenly, she would use it and they knew it.
The last few days at school were uneventful, although Bella had been right about Gianna and Chelsea they were being persistent. The playroom was finished and I knew Isabella would love it. The kids all had sleepovers at friend's houses a couple of days after Christmas and I was hoping to christen it that night. When Christmas morning came I knew Bella would be excited, it was a white Christmas. We had gotten about a foot of snow in the night and looking out over the golf course at that untouched white was beautiful. Forks got a lot of rain and ice in the winter but little snow and never this much at once.
I was in the kitchen making coffee when I heard her squeal and running into the breakfast nook to look over the golf course. "It's beautiful Edward. We can play in it later right?" She asked like a little kid.
"Yes Bella, we can go out and play later." She ran and jumped into my arms kissing the life out of me. When she started tugging on my hair I sat her on the counter and pulled her into my hard cock.
"Be careful what you start little girl." She looked at me with lust filled eyes and I pulled her back to me. We were going back to bed to take care this right now. "Fuck Bella" I said as I lifted her off the counter and she was dry humping me like her life depended on it.
"Gross Dad, B. its Christmas morning and save that for the bedroom." Emily said as she leaned up against the island. Bella and I instantly stilled and Bella was trying to get down but I held her closer to me, I had a massive hard on that my pajama pants wouldn't hide. She felt my problem and laughed.
"Are your brothers up yet or do I have time to take care of your Dad's problem?" Bella asked her.
"They're up and moving around so Dad will have to put that on the back burner for now." Emily called over her shoulder as she left the room. I could feel my face heating up and probably getting redder than Bella's ever has.
"What exactly was that?" I asked Bella.
"Edward she is 16 years old, she knows we have sex. She isn't having sex, thank god but she does talk to me about it. We talked about different times she has seen you and I doing things like just now and she wants to deal with it by humor. Make a couple of comments and then don't bring it up again. We need for her to feel comfortable about coming to me with this."
"I know it caught me off guard though. She is really growing up isn't she?"
"Yes she is but she also has a good head on her shoulders. She hasn't given me a reason to doubt her decisions. She's a good girl Edward, you raised her right."
"I know someone else who has been a good girl this year." I said as I leaned in to kiss her.
"Oh no daddy I have been a bad, bad girl." She purred as she tugged my hair again.
I saw Evan coming into the kitchen out of the corner of my eye. "You will pay for that later little girl." I swatted her as I went to get Evan breakfast and Bella fixed her coffee smirking at me the whole time.
Santa was good to everyone this year. Emily, in true teenage girl fashion, wanted clothes so we bought a gift card to The Water Tower shopping center and told her to have fun. Bella had arranged for Ethan to be a docent at the Lincoln Park Conservatory on weekends and he loved it. They boy could not get enough nature. Evan would be spending several weekends at the John G Shedd Aquarium doing different things, a sleepover, the wild reef and playing with the polar bears. The kids went together and are giving Bella one big gift, she cried when she opened it. They had gotten everything together to file the paperwork for the adoption, all she had to do was sign and we could file the papers and start the home study part of the process.
"We want you to be our mom for real B." Emily said as the boys nodded beside her.
"I want that too." She said through her tears as she hugged them.
I gave Bella a platinum heart locket with LOVE engraved on the outside from Tiffany's. Inside was a picture of me on one side and the kids on the other. She loved it, almost as much as the playroom when I let her have a peek at it. She gave me tickets for the symphony, one concert was Yo-Yo Ma along with Anthony McGill and Emanuel Ax, the other concert was Kodo and I had heard about it but never seen it performed live. I knew we would enjoy both concerts.
Bella was putting the finishing touches on Christmas Dinner, which was actually a late lunch when I found her. "Bella I can't find Evan have you seen him?"
"Not recently, have you checked his room?"
"Yeah but I'll look again." I was on my way up to his room when I heard Bella say dinner would be ready in 10 minutes over the intercom. I was on my way to our bedroom to clean up and Evan was sitting by the fireplace. "How long have you been there?"
"Just now, I was downstairs watching TV." Evan said.
"Ok, clean up and come eat."
Dinner was great. The food was good, the kids were laid back and enjoying the day. As I looked around it hit me again how lucky I was that Bella came into my life, it would have been long and lonely without her. As I tune back into the conversation I realize that they are planning a snowball fight after everything is cleaned up. We decided to work as teams, Bella and the boys versus me and Emily. We quickly cleaned up and then dressed for battle. We all exited the house within 5 minutes of each other and I wasn't the last one out, so how was I bombarded with snowballs the second I closed the door. Not three or four but about 15 snowballs, how did they make that many so fast?
I fought the boys off with Em's help until I could grab Bella. I wrestled her to the ground and sat on her. "When I was looking for Evan earlier, where was he Bella?"
"I have no idea Edward."
"Oh I think you do. I think you covered for him while he was outside making snowballs. That's what he was doing right?"
"I don't know. I thought he was in his room." She couldn't look at me and Evan was laughing his head off.
"The question now becomes who planned this? Was it you Bella or my evil spawn?"
"Evil spawn wins every time in my book Edward." As soon as the words left her mouth Ethan stood up to defend himself.
"Yeah now I'm not evil. It was Ev's idea to pre-make some snowballs but mom is the one who put him up to doing it before dinner."
"Ethan" she shrieked has I pushed snow down her shirt.
"Bella, having the kids take the fall for you. Really?"
"I swear I am innocent Edward." She could barely get the words out with a straight face.
"You get a five second head start and then we are taking you down. Right boys?"
"Yes sir" they answered and Bella's eyes went wide. I let her up and started counting.
"One, two" I motioned the boys as she was running for the house. "Three" we started throwing the snowballs at her.
"What happened to five seconds Edward. You're cheating" She yelled as she reached the door.
"Says the cheater." I yelled back at her and she was inside the house. I turned to look at Emily, who had been a bystander up until this point.
"I swear I didn't know anything about this Dad." She said as she ran for the house too. We managed to hit her a few times before she made it inside. The boys and I played for a while longer before going inside where we were greeted by Bella's home made hot chocolate.
We went to my parents the next day to exchange presents. We were starting slowly so we stayed for a couple of hours. Things were civil and mother did appear to be giving Bella a chance but she had yet to apologize to her and that is what was needed before I would even think of dropping my guard. While two visits without incident was a record for my mother it wasn't even close to being enough. I caught the kids sneaking glances between her and Bella also. I think if she had looked at Bella funny they would have pounced on her. She didn't understand that Tanya had ignored them and Bella loved spending time with them. That was all it took for Bella to win them over. She actually cared about what they wanted, she genuinely took an interest in what interested them and for that they loved her.
Three days later Bella and I were celebrating our first anniversary with the kids and I was antsy. Tonight was the night the kids would be out of the house staying with friends and daddy wanted to play with Bella. I was having a hard time keeping my hands to myself and Bella had been swatting my hands away all morning. After lunch I gave her my present and now the kids were just as excited as I was to see if she liked it.
"We're going to Mexico?" Bella asked.
"Yes over spring break. Huatulco to be exact, it won't be as private as Seabird Key but will still be fairly private. It is south of Acapulco and not nearly as touristy. Happy Anniversary Bella." Her smile widened as gave me a kiss.
"Thank you so much Edward, you are too good to me."
"You're welcome and it is impossible to be too good to you." I noticed Emily and Ethan carrying something into the room.
"I hope you like this Edward, if not I can have something different done." Bella said nervously. What ever it was it stood almost as tall as Bella. I pulled the paper off and was speechless. I was looking at an oil painting of Bella and I in The Summer House as we held hands and said our vows.
"Oh Bella, I love it. Did you do this?" I asked her.
"I picked the picture and did the sketching. I don't paint enough to be good so I had one of the college students do the actual oil work. Do you really like it?"
"I love it Bella and we are going to hang this over the fireplace in a place of honor, where it belongs." I pulled her to me and she had tears in her eyes.
"I am glad you like it. It is one of my favorite pictures of that day." She said wistfully.
"Me too Bella" I said kissing the top of her head.
Two hours later we were waving Emily off, she was on her way to her friend's house. Yes, the house was empty. "Follow me Isabella."
When we turned the attic into a playroom we had to have a new staircase built, the kids were full of questions about why and I refused to answer everyone one of them. That is the reason the door to the stairs was always locked and the door at the top of the stairs had a code lock. No one would get in without us knowing it. I punched in the code and turned the lights on for her.
"When I had you up here the other day we were rushed and I wanted you to have a chance to look around and ask any questions before we play. You are to speak freely for now." I told Isabella. While the room was long and fairly narrow it was much bigger than the playroom at the cabin. The walls were a deep midnight blue color with a light almost honey colored wood flooring. I had installed several skylights with dark blue blinds that operated remotely, just in case one of the kids got too curious. Isabella walked around the room, taking her time to look at all the new things. This room had a four poster bed with a built in restraint system but also a long leather tether was attached to one post. We could sleep in here if we wanted a phone and light signaling the doorbell had also been installed, and when we slept in here she would be tethered to the bed. She would sleep on the mat on the floor unless I invited her into bed with me. She saw the mat and raised her eyebrow at me but remained silent.
Aside from the bed the only other new things were a tantric chair that I knew she had been interested in but this one was custom made so she could be cuffed to it and a fucking machine. Her eyes went wide at the fucking machine because attached to it was a firmer, plastic version of Big Eddie. Everything else in the room, including the suspension system, we had played with at the cabin. "Do you have any questions about anything Isabella? Any concerns or hesitancy to use any of the new additions?"
"No Master" She said and I saw her eyes drift back to the fucking machine. My naughty girl was very open and free about what she liked having done to her and right at the top of that list was double penetration. My bedroom slut loved it and so did I. It was quite the turn on to feel something move in and out of her as I did. The fucking machine would only add to that feeling.
"You also need to know I have moved the first aid kit to a more prominent place." I told her as I opened the mirror mounted on the wall across from the padded table. Underneath the mirror was what appeared to be a table. "Under here is small refrigerator that is to always have orange juice and chocolate in it. When you clean this room it is your responsibility to make sure these are stocked also. Understand?"
"Yes Master."
"These deal with your well being in an emergency. You do not want to find out the punishment if I ever find this under stocked it will be harsh Isabella, very harsh."
She nodded, "I understand Master, I do."
"I want you back here in 30 minutes in your waiting position. Go Isabella."
As she hurried from the room I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, this would be the first time we played like this since her doctor appointment in October. But that appointment is what prompted the additions to the first aid kit and the refrigerator. As I stood there thinking back to her original appointment with her GYN I couldn't help the shiver that ran through me.
Bella had wanted to see her GYN in Port Angeles but after canceling her appointment for a delivery they couldn't fit her in so she was seeing a new doctor in Chicago. She was going for her annual exam and would mention about her passing out in Florida and a few other times she had felt light headed but hadn't passed out totally. I was in my office with the door open when I answered the call, I knew it was Bella and she was very close to being hysterical. I tried several times to talk to her and didn't have a chance. Finally standing up I said sternly, "Isabella you must calm down. I can not help you if I can't figure out the problem."
Hearing her name and my tone immediately stopped the hysterics but it was still a few moments before she was calm enough to talk. "He says it is my heart Edward and is scheduling an appointment with a cardiologist. Something about an erratic beat like a murmur. He took blood and is running tests to see if I could be anemic also but he doesn't think so. He said it is my heart." And with that she was sobbing again.
I was walking out of my office, "Are you still there?" She mumbled what I thought was a yes. "I am on my way, do not leave his office until I get there."
"I am in my car in the under ground garage on the first level." She said getting herself under control.
"Fine, I am on my way. Stay there Isabella." I turned to my secretary, "I need to leave, I don't know if I will be back today or not. I will call and let you know."
"But you have the meeting with..."
I interrupted her, "Reschedule it, I have an emergency involving my wife. I will call you when I know if I will be returning today or not." I started moving towards the door again.
"But this meeting..."
"I am leaving, my wife needs me." I walked out as she was still trying to talk to me. Did she not fucking understand Bella needed me. I later remembered the meeting was with a few Board Members but they understood when the situation was explained to them. My only concern now was getting to Bella. When I reached her she was curled over the steering wheel crying in her car. I carefully opened the door so I could talk to her.
"Bella, tell me what happened? We will see as many specialists as need to get to the bottom of this."
"He did the normal exam and I was talking to him about the blackouts, he asked for permission to run tests and then said that most likely it was a heart problem and he would refer me to a cardiologist. I don't like him Edward, he was so cold."
I pulled her out and moved us to the back seat of the Escalade. "Was that all or is there more, be 100% open with me now Bella."
"I asked what this could mean and he went on about how if it was a heart problem then I may have problems having kids and modifications would need to be made and how by law he had to tell me this stuff. He was cold and a jerk, I don't want to see him again and I'm not sure I want to see any one he refers me to."
I held her close to me and wiped her tears. "Bella I will call my Dad and get the name of the best cardiologist in Chicago and make sure he is not an ass. This doctor is not a specialist and he may be totally off base here but what ever happens we are in this together. I believe there is another reason for this and we will find out what it is Bella. You said this guy was an ass, so we find someone who knows what they are talking about."
"What if he is right Edward?"
"And what if he is wrong? We schedule an appointment with the cardiologist and deal with this. But we do not let this take over our life Bella, yes there is cause for concern but together we will get through this and anything else life deals us. I love you Bella, look at everything we have been through so far this is just another thing we need to deal with."
"But what about kids, I mean we talked..."
"SShhh, Bella if we do not have kids that is fine with me as long as you are by my side. If we want more kids and it would put to much stress on you then we can adopt. I will not lose you Bella that is unacceptable to me."
She hugged me tightly and took a deep breath. "Ok, we deal with this together and as it comes, I can do that. I'm sorry I freaked out Edward I just never expected him to say I could potentially have a heart problem."
"Freaking out is a normal reaction Bella, just keep things in perspective until we have more information."
"Ok, I'll try." I chuckled at her. "I need to get back to school then. Let me up so I can get back in my car."
"Are you sure you don't want to take the rest of the day off Bella?"
"I definitely want to Edward which is why I won't. I would end up sitting at home wallowing in this and that won't help anyone. I love you Edward, thank you for coming to see me."
"I wouldn't be anywhere else baby. I will call Dad and we can discuss this more tonight okay? I love you Bella."
We each returned to our schools, I called Dad, got the name and set up the appointment. I insisted on attending with her. They had sent us paperwork to fill out beforehand and one of those forms they used to receive all her prior medical documents. Because the doctor was a friend and former colleague of my father's they were ready for us at the appointment. They did blood work, an EKG and several other tests we didn't necessarily understand. I placed my trust in my father's knowledge and that he knew Bella meant everything to me and would do what was necessary to get to the bottom of this, Bella put her trust in me and I was not going to let her down.
The doctor asked questions about her family history and focused on her reaction to blood. That she could smell it and would pass out. Then he asked permission to bring in a colleague of his at Northwestern, an OB/GYN, to get her input. We agreed and waited for the call that they had figured something out. We didn't wait long, two weeks later we were back at the hospital to find out what was wrong with Bella, it was not a heart problem.
Orgasmic Syncope the GYN said excitedly, very rare but also very real. What tipped them off was Bella fainting at the sight or smell of blood. Her fainting is caused by a 'vasovagal reaction', when her heart rate and blood pressure drop suddenly, the brain doesn't get the oxygen it needs and she faints. The GYN explained that during intense sex her orgasm causes a vasovagal reaction and she faints. She asked if when Bella fainted the sex had been more intense than normal. Fuck yeah it was I wanted to say but settled for a yes. Definitely not fatal and generally not harmful, falling on something as she faints is more harmful than the fainting itself.
The only way to avoid it would be to control her breathing and heart rate during sex but since it isn't harmful there is no reason to avoid it. Smelling salts and cold compresses to bring her around and then OJ or chocolate to help bring everything back to the way it should be and to make sure her blood sugar is ok. She was borderline anemic so she started taking iron pills also.
We had played lightly in our bedroom while the playroom was being built and furnished and tonight we would break it in. I knew instinct would probably have me going easier on her than normal, looking for the signs but it helped knowing even if it did happen it was not harmful to her.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard her climbing the stairs. Tonight was going to be fun. Isabella walked in and assumed her position, god she was gorgeous and she chose to give her submission to me. It was a gift I would never take for granted. I walked behind her running my fingers through her hair.
"I have missed seeing you like this Isabella." Silence. "Good girl. This is our first time in the playroom since your doctor's appointment so I am going to go easier on you than I normally would so if for any reason you feel uncomfortable or concerned I want you to yellow so we can talk about it. Ok?" I hadn't given her permission to speak so she nodded. "Rise and go stand facing the cross." She moved to the cross and I grabbed the rabbit fur flogger off the wall laying it on the table. I cuffed her wrists and ankles to the cross. I gently ran my fingers up her legs as I stood and cupped her ass. I stopped to give her ass a quick bite that made her jump before continuing to run my fingers up her sides just skimming her breasts. I stepped back and picked up the flogger, shaking it out, before turning the cross away from the mirrors.
I run the flogger from her shoulder to her ass before giving her two quick swats. "You have been a bad girl Isabella. Getting arrested." I bring the flogger twice on her thighs. "Then teasing me in the kitchen." Her ass. "Cheating during a snowball fight." Her back. "Do you have anything to say for yourself Isabella?" Silence. Her ass again, which is turning a nice pink color. "No, okay then." I set the flogger down and remove my shirt. I walk up behind her pressing my chest into her back I run my fingers through her folds. "You are so wet kitten. You like being punished don't you little girl?" Silence. "So you can behave yourself?" I ask as I pinch her clit. She moans. I remove her from the cross.
"Ah, ah, ah Isabella you need to stay quite. Maybe you need something to keep your mouth occupied. Would you like my cock in your mouth kitten?" She dropped to her knees and nodded. "Remove my pants and show me how much my naughty girl wants to please me." She lowered my pants and I stepped out of them. I started stroking my cock slowly. Isabella licked her lips but didn't move to take me in her mouth. I picked up the flogger and got her ass hard. "What are you waiting for Isabella? Maybe I should tie you to the table and leave you there while I pleasure myself." She shook her head and took me fully into her mouth as I continued stroking. "Fuck. You are so good at sucking my cock kitten. Keep you hands behind your back." I fisted my hand in her hair. "That's it baby." I developed a rhythm with the flogger on her ass and thrusting into her mouth. "Shit you feel good girl. Let me hear how much you like this kitten." She started moaning around me and I felt my balls tighten. "I'm cumming kitten." I shouted as I slowed my thrust and she sucked harder. "Ahhhhh" She was licking me clean and I tugged her hair so she would stand up. I tipped her head back by her hair so I could kiss her. "Damn you are good at that. I should buy you a shirt that says 'I give great head'." She tried hard not to chuckle at me. I swatted her ass, "Get up on the table girl I am going to lick that pussy of yours." She groaned and climbed on the table and scooted to the end in position.
I cuffed her wrists above her head but left her legs free. "I want you vocal Isabella, the louder the better. I want hear how much you are enjoying this." I looked into her face, "Remember your breathing and yellow if you feel off at anytime."
"Yes Master."
I pushed her legs up and out so she was spread as open as she could be for me and her juices ran out onto the table. "Someone is very excited I see." She moaned as I flattened my tongue and ran it up her pussy.
"More Master please."
I flicked her clit and gently pulled it with my teeth. I reached up and tugged on her nipple ring. "Yes Master, soo good." I pushed my tongue in as far as I could, my nose rubbing her clit and I was licking her inside walls. She tasted so fucking good. I noticed the change in her breathing and backed off a little. I inserted two fingers and felt her walls flutter.
"Do not cum Isabella. When I finally let you cum I want to be buried balls deep in my beautiful slut."
"Yes Master." She groaned as I went back to tongue fucking her as I used two fingers to slowly drag her juices from her pussy to her ass. Every time I would run my fingers over her tiny hole she would moan and push into my fingers. "Please Master."
"Please what my naughty girl?" I asked as I sucked on her clit.
"Need you...please...need to cummmm...Master."
"Not yet baby but soon." I said as I went back to licking her pussy. I was rock hard and dying to be inside her. I slowly pushed a finger into her ass and she started rocking her hips.
"Please...Master...please..." Her voice was raising and her legs were starting to tremble. I looked up at her quickly and she didn't seem to be breathing too fast. I didn't want her fainting the first time in the playroom. I stood up and drove into her.
"Milk my cock kitten. Fuck you are tight." I held her legs flat against my chest as I set a fast but deep pace. "So good Isabella." I added another finger to her ass and I heard her whimpering and begging to cum. "Squeeze me hard kitten." She clamped down on my dick hard. "Fuck baby...fucking cum kitten...now...cum Isabella."
"Yeesssssss" Isabella yelled as I groaned and let go inside her, slowing my thrust to bring her down gently. I slowly withdrew my fingers from her ass and rubbed her legs that were still trembling. I moved her so her legs wouldn't hang off the table as I moved to uncuff her wrists. I rubbed her arms and helped her sit up.
"How are you feeling Isabella?"
"Great, loose, relaxed. Really good Master." I chuckled because she had the most contented look on her face. I carried her to the small bathroom in the playroom and we took a quick shower before I laid her down on the bed for her aftercare. After I rubbed her down she looked ready to sleep.
"Isabella I am inviting you to sleep in this bed with me tonight but you will be tethered to it. If you need to use the bathroom or anything I suggest you do it now." I was surprised when she didn't protest being tied to the bed.
"I am fine Master. Thank you for allowing me to sleep next to you tonight." I attached the restraint and turned off the lights before climbing into bed and pulling her against my chest.
"You are welcome kitten, sweet dreams."
When I woke the next morning Bella was still lying exactly as she was last night, she must have been exhausted. I untied her and carried her down to our bedroom. I laid her on our bed and proceeded to stroke and feel, lick and kiss every sensitive spot she had until she opened her eyes on a moan. Then I slid into her and made love to my beautiful wife that I loved more than anything.
The kids returned home and we spent a relatively quite New Year's Eve at home with them. By 12:30 Bella and I were welcoming the New Year joined together by the light of the moon and promising to make this year even better than the last.
