Loved it!  I love the drama that is building.

What a delightful Xmas present to find a new chapter awaiting me in my inbox this morning! I truly love this story, this chapter was fantastic. I love how caring and protective Edward is, it's sweet. Can't wait for the next update!

What an interesting night!  I would actually pay to have that dinner with Edward and Jasper.  And while I am still conflicted about Jasper's involvement - it was hot! 

I loved Edward's convo with Jasper in the car.  That scene reminded me of the  Fire and Ice chapter in Eclipse!  Such a great way to understand and appreciate Edward and their relationship more!!

My heart broke for Bella at the end with Tyler outside their home.  I hope everything goes well.

And have a Happy New Year!!

This is a great story. The added drama of Tyler is making my tummy tumble.  Can't wait for the next update!

i never thought that this kind of relationships were like that... this story and other ones have helped me to open my mind. maybe i wouldn't like to experience it myself because i don't like being told what to do but reading about it is great... specially when the Dom is Edward... lol

this story is awesome! you have done an amazing job.

Just re-read this chapter. Fucking awesome! And I'm still very curious about that big box Master recieved earlier...

Okay, well now I'm glad that I get to read the next chapter right away!  ;)  You are evil with the cliffies!

Don't think I didn't notice I have to click the Submit button there.  I see what you're doing here.

I have to say that this story is NOT my normal fare but it's definitely interesting!  I know I would not make a good sub - I'm too bossy.  ;)

LOVED this line:  There was nothing for me to do but grin and bear it, or in this case, grin and bare it.

Forget dinner...what happens with Tyler?!?

Happy Birthday.

Thank you!

I have felt that I understood the playroom scenes on the weekend aspect of the D/s lifestyle, but I was having a lot of trouble really understanding the whole 24/7 life.  Everything that Bella was living I saw it as something Edward was doing to her, that she was being treated in a demeaning or degrading manner.  However, when he took her collar and made it just Edward and Bella and then he seemed disappointed when she so readily slipped back into slave mode without any prodding on his part, I think I finally got it.  He is a Dom, yes, but if he was choosing I do not think he would be interested in the 24/7.  He does this all for her.  It is all about what she wants and what she needs.  He gives that to her because she is that important to him. 

If that is Tyler in the coffee shop, then he is definitely stalking her and he is up to something!

honestly after the first three or so chapters im pretty sure nothing can surprise me now.
