Thank you all for your lovely reviews and thoughts on last chapter. I want to shout out my friend miss Emmett, it was her idea for the bookstore, so I want to give her credit! Thank you to my awesome and wonderful beta Audrey who got the chapter edited for you all by Christmas Eve, she is amazing, words escape me! I hope your holiday was filled with a lot of love and joy! On with the show! I know nothing about Dom/sub relationships; everything is from my wee imagination!

CHAPTER 27

Oh my sweet Bella, sometimes she says things before thinking them through. Most of the time her unpredictability was a turn on, but sometimes it was just downright confusing. I've learned my lesson about keeping things from her though. If she wanted to know the truth, I would give it to her, gloves off unedited.

"You and her had sex in front of people?" Her expression was surprised, with just a hint of curiosity.

"Yes." I stated not really thinking that telling her this was surprise considering we did almost the same thing in my club on Halloween.

But her asking if I would do it with her, well that was out of the question. Didn't she understand how different our relationship was compared to those of my past? I wanted her to feel like I held her differently than my previous women; ours was based on love not a D/s contract. I regard her above all other women I've ever been involved with, she was my first and God willing my only love.

"Why not?" Her interest was piqued.

I was rendered speechless. For me this was definitely an unforeseen turn of events.

"I couldn't stand the thought of someone watching us or seeing you naked." My body was shaking just from the simple thought.

Anyone else being able to see what is for my eyes only, well that wasn't going to happen.

"I think it would be kind of hot, having someone watching you making me cum." She blushed beautifully.

"Do you now?" An idea suddenly popped in my head. She wanted to play with fire, well I wouldn't let it burn her, but I would show her how hot a flame can get.

"What are you thinking?" She arched her eye brows at me.

"Are you really sure you know exactly what you are asking of me?" I touched my fingers to my chin rubbing them across my afternoon stubble.

"I trust you." Those words were priceless to me.

"Ah, but even trust has its limits my beautiful girl." I kissed her forehead.

"I want to please you master." She bowed her head at me.

"I'm not your master when you do not wear my collar Isabella, don't try to toy with me woman." I lifted her chin with my finger.

"I want to try Edward. I promised I would try this for you, please?" She pleaded with her big brown eyes.

How could I deny her anything? It was hard, but this time, I would deny her something, but I would play along with her for now.

"Alright, if that's what you want, I will call my contact person and see what is going on for the weekend. It will give us five days, starting today to prepare you on how you should behave at the play party, it will be difficult." Sudden lust filled me.

"Really?" She asked excited.

"Yes. Have your collar on and be waiting on your knees naked for me by the front door when I get home. I will call you when I am on my way. Go, now!" I commanded.

She nodded her head and kissed my lips quickly before racing out of my office. If I knew that was all it took, I would have mentioned play parties to her sooner. However, I would never allow her to participate in anything that involved other people, whether that is watching or taking part, she belonged only to me. But I would give her a fine dose of her own medicine.

Once Bella was out of my office I picked up my phone and dialed up Randall. He was my link into the private world of Dom/sub anything. I had met him through Peter, thankful no connection to Carmen.

The phone rang about 3 times before he picked up.

"Good afternoon Randall Nomad speaking." His voice deep and professional.

"What's up Randall, it Edward Cullen."

"Ed my man, I wondering what happened to you, it's been a long time. In need of a new sub?" A hint of deviousness in his voice.

"Actually Randall, that part of your services will no longer be required. I have a girlfriend now. I'm calling because I was wondering if you know of any play parties going on this weekend. My girlfriend is curious, but I'm looking for a back table one." I leaned back in my chair holding the receiver to my ear.

"Back table huh? It's been a while since you've asked for one of those. I can make a couple calls and get back to you." Randall said excited.

"Wonderful, text me on my cell phone or email." I hung up.

The rest of the day flew by in a blur, paperwork, phone calls and meetings. By the time I was heading down to my car it was already 6:26pm.

Even though my day was in busy with work, my mind lingered on the beautiful woman waiting for me at "our" penthouse. Thinking back to the moment she agreed to move in with me, it still seems so surreal.

The circumstances were definitely unexpected, but welcome nonetheless; Bella was my whole world now. However, the way Rose told Bella; I felt was inconsiderate considering what Bella was dealing with. However my little chat with Rose, brief as it was outside the bathroom, seemed to shed little light on the subject. Perhaps I'll need to talk to Emmett and find out.

"That was really fucked up of you, you know that right?" I scolded Rose as she approached me in the hallway.

"Thanks captain obvious." She said sarcastically.

"You could have at least had the decency to tell her in private or at least mentioned it to me." I was seething. Why would you spring it on her like that, she is your best friend.

"Just because I called you to help pick up the pieces of my broken friend; that by the way, you broke! That doesn't give you the right to tell me how to handle our friendship." She said through clenched teeth.

"I know what I did wasn't very smart, but at least I was honest and didn't spring it on her in company!" I said to her, "we've talked it out, extensively and I think were in an even better place than before the breakup" I continued. "She can live with me." I said ignoring her tone.

"How do you think she will feel about that?" Rose gave me a look.

"Can't be much worse than how you decided to proceed with things; some friend." I suggested.

Don't get me started on you Cullen, where is she?" Rose folded her arms over her chest.

"The bathroom."

"Well?" She gave me grunt that indicated I need to give her a few minutes with Bella.

I'll give you some privacy." I nodded and walked off.

Now here we are. I won't admit it to Bella, but this was exactly what I wanted to happen. Even before Rose and Emmett decided to live together, I had wanted Bella to move in with me.

I got into my car and dialed up Bella letting her know I would be home in 15 minutes, to be in position. By the time I made it home and up to my floor, I opened the door to find my sexy ass girlfriend kneeling in the foyer with her head bowed and arms behind her back. I was thoroughly impressed with her. She had definitely researched.

It was a huge turn on for me to see her like this. She would make a great submissive after all. I placed my briefcase by the door and hung up my coat. I removed my shoes. I stood in front of Bella's kneeling form and instructed her to stand. She didn't look up but did as she was told with a gracious smile on her face.

"Good evening Isabella are you ready or should we eat first, you may answer me yes or no." I commanded.

"Good evening sir, your slave would like to know what would please you." She was still keeping her eyes down.

"Well that's a good slave; I would like to know when you ate last." I raised her face with a gentle finger under her chin.

"After I left your office, sir." She twitched slightly.

"Bella, that's been hours, you must eat something if I am going to properly train you." I held her face between my hands.

"I don't want to disappoint you. I want to be good at this sir." Her eyes hazed over a little.

"Aw baby, you're not disappointing me." I gave her a warm smile, pulling her into me.

"How about, you go put on a robe and I will make us something to eat, okay?" I looked her in the eyes.

She nodded and walked up the stairs. I had to watch her naked body climb each step, making her perfect ass bounce with each movement, it took all my prior training not to pin her to the damn stairs. I took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Once dinner was out of the way, I instructed Bella to meet me in the playroom in the same position I found her by the door. After I cleaned up and changed into more comfortable clothes, I found her kneeling in front of the bed.

"Isabella, the next time you are in here, I would like you kneeling by the door, do you understand? You may answer." I was now in Dominant mode.

"Yes sir." She spoke softly.

"Louder Isabella."

"Yes sir." Her voice rose.

"Good girl. Now the first rule in a play party is to know your place. The rules of being a sub are the same really no matter the location. You obey my commands, it's very simple. I would never subject you to anything that would harm or humiliate you. I would never disrespect you or make you feel unappreciated because you are my whole world Bella, never forget that." I continued, but there are some rules you will need to learn so that you won't be uncomfortable in a group setting, don't worry I will explain everything."

She nodded her head.

"Stand up." I ordered.

She rose from the floor and I scanned her curvy figure with my eyes. She was not a thin girl, but very full and supple in all the right places. I dragged my eyes from her face to her breasts to her stomach to her legs. I saw the blush grow on her cheeks, it made me smile.

"Does it turn you on when I look at you?" I asked tilting my head.

"Yes sir." She said somewhat breathless.

"I love to look at you, you're body is so exquisite Isabella." I moved her hair from her shoulder kissing the skin there.

She shivered from the contact and I brushed my lips over her neck. Her eyes closed and she moaned. I licked between the valley of her breasts and her body shook, but I held her still with my hands. I then turned her around so that her back was against my chest.

"Second rule is to know when to speak and when to be quiet and still. Remember the last time you were in here and I bound you to the bed?" I spoke softly into her ear.

"Yes sir."

"I'm going to try something now and it will make you want to speak, but you are to remain silent and motionless, can you do that?" I put my lips close to her ear.

She nodded her head like a good girl.

"Good." I kissed her neck and stepped away. I crossed the room to where the bed was.

"Come here Isabella." I ordered.

She complied and walked to where I was.

"Get on your knees and spread your legs apart."

She slid her fine ass onto the bed and pushed it into the air. I ran my fingers across it and bit down on both cheeks gently. I could hear her stifle her moans. I walked to my drawers of wonder, as Bella called them, and took out a hands free vibrator.

"I'm going to slip this on you, rise up."

She lifted her ass even higher in the air and I slipped the device over her legs and secured it to her mid section.

"It's a vibrator that you don't have to hold, I control it from this remote." I showed it to her.

I then proceeded to take out a dildo. "I'm going to fuck you senseless with this, but you are not allowed to make a sound or move, do you understand? You may answer."

"Yes, I understand sir." Her voice husky with anticipation I assumed.

"Alright Isabella, don't forget your safe words." She had no idea what she was up-against.

I turned the remote of the vibrator on and ran my fingers slowly over her opening. She was already dripping wet. I massaged the opening with my fingers and inserted one gently. She whimpered biting into her lips to control herself from making a noise.

I turned up the vibrator and increased the movement of my fingers inside of her. She was moving her body with the rhythm of my fingers. I immediately stopped and turned off the vibrator.

"No moving Isabella. Every time you move or make a sound, I will have to start over." I scolded into her ear, biting the lobe.

I began inserting my fingers once more and turned the vibrator back on. I stroked her with my fingers and I could feel her body shaking, either from the pleasure or the not being able to vocalize what she wanted, I wasn't sure.

I removed my fingers and turned the vibe up has high as it could go and picked the dildo up from the bed. I inserted it slowly and when I felt she could handle it, I began to work it in and out of her. Her knees were shaking uncontrollable and I knew her orgasm was fast approaching. I pulled the dildo out of her and quickly unbuttoned my jeans.

I was extremely hard and seeing her being in such a submissive position, I had to be inside of her. I quickly thrust hard into her. Ramming her over and over and I could hear her whimpering softly, trying to hold back her moans once more.

"Tell me you love me slave!" I ordered.

"I love you so fucking much Edward!" She moaned loudly.

"Tell me I am the only man you will ever love."

"Only you Edward, only you." She cried.

"I love how deep I can go in you. You are so soft and warm and mine, all mine." I groaned.

She whimpered again and I needed to feel her cum all over me.

"I order you to cum Isabella." I said breathlessly in her ear.

"Fuck!" She screamed and she came around me, making me harder. She almost collapsed but I grab her waist to hold her up.

"Your orgasms belong to only me, nobody else, only me!" I yelled coming hard inside of her. Slowly I lowered us to the bed, holding her close.

All that could be heard was our heavy breathing and the humming of the vibrator. I rolled off of her, switching off the remote. I pulled her into me again, moving her hair from her face.

"You did so well, I'm so proud of you." I smiled kissing her forehead. "Don't forget we will be continuing your lessons tomorrow evening."

"It was hard." She laughed out of breath.

"No, you make me hard." I teased.

She playfully rolled her eyes at me and leaned up to kiss me.

"I don't deserve you." I looked at her lovingly.

"Why would you say that?" She smiled.

"You would do anything for me no questions asked. No man deserves someone so wonderful." I caressed her cheek.

"Maybe I'm just pathetic because I always give you what you want." She arched her eyebrow at me.

"Pathetic, hardly, perfect, perhaps." I smirked pulling her face to mine.

"Hardly." She sighed and laid her head back on my chest.

"Oh baby, but you are. We should get up and shower." I kissed her one last time trying to sit up.

"Shower sex?" She looked at me excitedly again already.

"Shower sex." I agreed just as enthusiastic.

After our round in the shower, we made it to bed. She had her first day of work tomorrow and I had a board meeting I had been putting off. We both fell asleep instantly. The next morning was more rushed than I really wanted it to be. We hurriedly ate our breakfast and were in our room getting dressed for our respective jobs.

I was straightening my tie in the bathroom mirror when Bella came up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"I love you in this tie." She commented.

"I love you in anything you put on." I smiled at her from my reflection.

"Turn around." She ordered.

I turned to face the dashing beauty and she gave me a smoldering glare. She reached up and began to kiss me, unbuttoning my pants.

"Did 4 orgasms not satisfy you last night?" I laughed.

"I had the best dream of you and I wanted to play it out." She smirked, as she dropped to her knees.

"Exactly what did this dream entail?" I asked looking down at her.

"Me sucking you off." She winked and pulled my pants down.

"Oh I love those kinds of dreams." I said breathless as she took me into her mouth.

She sucked and licked and moved her mouth up and down my hard erection. I loved how deep she could take me and massaging my balls at the same time. I threw back my head and enjoyed the feel of her warm mouth.

"God you are so good at that." I hummed while moving my hips with the rhythm of her mouth.

She sucked harder and I could feel myself beginning to unravel.

"Yes baby, suck me like that, harder!" I grunted.

She obliged and I began to feel my balls tighten, ready for my big release into her awaiting mouth.

"I'm going to come! BELLA!" I screamed as I deposited my DNA in her mouth and she sucked me until I was dry.

"Mm, now that's a good morning." She said as she popped my dick out of her mouth.

"That's a fucking fantastic morning." I said as I leaned back holding the sink, catching my breath.

"Have a good day." She reached up and kissed me quickly and disappeared out of the bathroom.

The day seemed to pass uneventfully. Unfortunately, here were no visits from Bella, but that gave me more time to plan what I would have in store for her this evening. She was more than willing to do whatever I wanted, but tonight we would try something different. She was learning quickly and for that she would be greatly rewarded

As I made it back to the penthouse my watch read 6pm. Bella would be waiting for me by the door in a kneeling position, but this time I told her to be wearing the dress I laid out for her. The lock clicked and in I stepped finding her in the same position as yesterday.

"Stand up Bella." I ordered removing my coat and gloves.

She stood up with her eyes still trained to the floor.

"Kiss me." I commanded.

She quickly threw herself at me, wrapping her warm arms around my neck, enthusiastically pulling herself up to my level. Her lips were soft and welcoming, tasting of something sweet.

"I missed you today." I cooed moving the hair that had fallen in her face.

"I missed you too sir." Her smile was radiant.

"I would like to take you to dinner tonight. It may not seem all the kinky, but even in public, submissive's have rules. The most important is that you are to avoid calling me by my given name, if you can help it. There really shouldn't be a reason for you to need to say my name. Also, you will not speak unless spoken to, do you understand?" I waited for her reply.

"I understand sir." She bit her lip that was such an alluring little habit.

"Very good Isabella. Give me ten minutes to change my clothes and then well leave. Please be ready by then." As I went to walk to the steps, I turned to look at her. "By the way, you look gorgeous in that dress, I knew you would." I gave her a warm smile that made her blush.

She had on a blue dress with long sleeves that hit her just above the knee. Her hair was pulled off to the side;she was a vision.

We were seated at Keko's, Jasper's most popular restaurant and my first choice for dinner. The waiter had given us two glasses of ice water , giving us a moment to look over the menu.

"Isabella, what would you like?" I already knew what she prefer, but I liked giving her the option regardless.

"The salmon with the wild rice would be wonderful, sir." She gave me a timid smile.

"What would you like to drink?" I asked her as I sipped my water.

"White wine would be lovely, sir." She fluttered her eyelashes at me.

I gave her a smirk and scanned the menu one last time before our waiter, Terry, came to take our orders.

"How was work?" I asked her placing my napkin in my lap.

"It was enjoyable." Bella said simply.

"I'm happy you like it." Changing the subject for now, "I thought we could talk about your plans for Christmas. Do you plan to go home to Arizona?" I was hoping she would want to spend it with me

"My aunt and uncle are going on a cruise for Christmas, so I be staying here for the holiday." She looked at me nervously.

"Would you like to spend Christmas with my family and me?" I felt hopeful for her answer.

"Really?" She seemed so surprised that I would ask her.

"Of course, Esme has been bugging me since Thanksgiving to invite you; of course I want you to come." I chuckled. "It will be wonderful to have you there."

Christmas with the Cullen family is very traditional, stockings on the hearth, traditional dinner with all the trimmings; Esme's trees are always unique and fabulous.

You'll love it!" I paused for a moment to think that it will be a first for me. I've never been part of a 'couple' for a family holiday.

"It sounds wonderful, but I have a strange question for you; why do you always call Esme by her name?" She looked at me with amusement.

"I don't know." I thought but didn't clarify. I had a feeling that she would delve further into the subject when she was able to be more open.

Dinner was successful and Isabella did exactly as I asked. She had pleased me immensely.

"I have something for you." I announced as we stepped into the penthouse.

"You do?" She looked at me surprised.

"Yes, you have been amazing this week, I think you deserve a reward." I kissed her hand, leading her into the living room.

"Have a seat." I gestured toward the couch.

She sat down looking at me suspiciously. I had a small box sitting on the fireplace and took it down, placing it in her hands. She looked at me confused and I mouthed for her to open it. She hesitated for a moment, but once she removed the lid her eyes grew wide and her mouth hung open in pleased surprise.

"This is for me?" She looked almost on the verge of tears. Her finger traced the outline of the object.

"Yes, for you, my wonderful, beautiful girlfriend." I gave her my crooked grin.

"Oh Edward." She flung her arms around my neck and squeezed me tightly.

"If I'd known a gesture so small, would make you so accepting of gifts, I would have done it sooner." I laughed into her hair.

"It's so beautiful." She removed her arms from their tight hold on my neck, picking the box back up.

It was a journal with her name engraved in gold print. She had mentioned to me that when she was a child she had one that her mother gave her for a birthday because she loved to write.

"You can write your thoughts and things in it." I shrugged.

"You listened." She whispered mesmerized by the book.

"I will always pay attention to what you do and what you tell me." I looked seriously at her and rested my hand on her shoulder.

"I think you deserve playroom time." She grinned up at me.

"I was hoping you would say that"...

Thoughts? Any suggestions? Anything you would like for them to try? Let me know. Next up will be the play party hehehehe...
