Buying Love by tufano79 Rated: NC-17 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 2001]
Summary:

Buying Love

Edward Masen is the most popular escort working for Esme Platt. He’s the best at what he does and no woman ever goes unsatisfied. He’s smooth, sexy, dangerous and in control. In many ways. His employer holds him to this job due to the debt he needs to repay her. He’s a slave to the job in more ways than one. He lives in the best apartments, dresses in the nicest clothes and drives the best cars. All of it, though, can disappear in a moment’s notice all because Esme knows Edward’s secret. 

Isabella Swan is an heiress to the Swan fortune. Her father, Charlie Swan, owns a string of high end hotels and resorts all over the world. Bella, as her friends call her, is also going through a nasty divorce from her husband, Riley. He cheated on Bella with the limo driver, the gardener, the pool boy and Bella’s assistant, Maggie. She’s bitter and angry, hating all men and abhorring her soon-to-be ex-husband. 

Charlie is having a grand opening for his newest hotel in Seattle, Swan Towers. Bella is expected there, with a date for the lavish party. Rose, Bella’s best friend, suggested that she use a male escort, handing her Esme Platt’s card. Bella calls and asks for the best. Edward arrives, all suave and debonair, but detached and cold. However, the attraction between the two is palpable. 

 

Will they succumb to their attraction? Will Edward pull Bella down the dark path in his need for control? Or will Bella be his light? Or is all of this a ploy for Buying Love?

Why can't Edward try to be a little understanding? He is the older one that is supposed to be the more mature one. Can't he see why she wouldn't want to be around his parents? Esme betrayed her trust and his dad insisted he take her virginity...discussed it in front of everyone. Then Edward has sex with her for the first time and just is going to leave her with those people and not give her any emotional support. I'm so disappointed in Edward this time.
I love this story and can't wait for more. Thanks for writing.

Bella is surrounded by crazy people! Rose drags her to the bathroom and was the one bringing up sex. Rose didn't stick up for Bella when Kelly was upset...like it was Bella's fault! Edward wasn't any better. What is wrong with him anyway? He is kind of acting like a sucky boyfriend at this point. I just hope at least one person shows up to help her before it is too late.
I bet Bella received a letter from Sent From Hell that she was just starting to read when she was interrupted.

A lost bet, the promise of money and a stranger for a bride. Will confirmed bachelor Edward Masen find a match made in heaven or hell?

Date: 11 Apr 2016 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - The Honeymoon Is Over

I really hope Edward didn't sleep with Vicky the night they were apart. I'm not sure Edward should have snooped in the box. But since he did, he should have had more tact and just asked her about what he found, then maybe they could have gotten somewhere.
I think maybe the teaser is going to be a turning point for them. They both realize they need to do thing differently.
Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I can assure you, Edward's being faithful to Bella. Vicky will return eventually but as his friend. They don't have the kind of relationship where they lust after each other. It's more like they scratched in itch as long as they didn't hurt anyone with it. The only one Edward wants right now is Bella. The turning point is coming soon, I promise. Next chapter? We'll see ;).

Reviewer: Lisalou Signed
Date: 10 May 2016 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Truth or Dare

I was thinking Bella was just being a prude for not just giving in and having sex with him, but how he can just blow her off on her only day off it just not right. He is such a dick. He just isn't trying.
I guess, during the game, he had to call a dare because Bella would probably just leave him if she knew he had sex just before the wedding with one of his guests. Edward is such a sleaze.
Thanks for writing,
Lisa...Gail Cullen

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Yes, Bella wouldn't have reacted favorably to his revelation. I think they need a much stronger foundation to be able to handle that blow. Next chapter, things are definitely going to change. See you Monday.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. You'll learn a lot about Bella in the next few chapters. As for them working out, I'm a strictly HEA girl. Everything will work out, though not always in the straightest of ways ;). See you Monday for chapter 3.

I thought Bella would help Edward out. If the game is a big money maker Bella can have her own restaurant in a couple years like she told him.
I am not sure they are ready to have a family yet.

I still don't like Vicky. I would not want my husband to hang out with people he slept with in the past.
I hope Bella finds a good job! Too bad she didn't just quit so she wouldn't have missed Edward's party.
Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Bella will find another job soon, I'm just not sure you'll like it. As for Vicky, Bella's really secure in her marriage and can handle Edward talking to an ex. See you next chapter with a little Charlie and Sue.

Date: 28 Mar 2016 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Bipolar

Edward isn't as bad as I thought. I wish Bella would ease up a little bit. If she was on a date, she probably would have let him kiss her good night. Why won't she even let him touch her any? They are married after all. Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. If Bella had been on a regular date, the guy probably wouldn't have tried to get into her pants with lame pick-up lines several times before. She's not in his head liek we are so she can't know he was being sincere for once. See you next chapter.

I really hate James! Emmett was right, Edward should have told Bella. I hope Bella confronts Edward with what she was told.
Why would Victoria tell James all of that. I wasn't hers to tell about the bet.
Maybe Edward will take his money from the show and give it to Bella so she can buy out the restaurant. That would be awesome!
Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.I'd say, James had his ways of getting info out of a head-over-heels-in-love Victoria. She sure should have kept it to herself, but she trusted him. Edward and Bella will have to talk about what he did, but first, they have to get through the decision show (after Edward does something really stupid to show Bella he's being sincere). See you next chapter.

Thanks for writing.

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and leaving a review. I'm glad you liked the lemon. Some readers were really squicked out by the idea of restaurant sex ;). As for the convo with Jake, it won't be retold but they'll have another chat in the morning, and it's going to be quite entertaining. You think Edward's in love? We'll see if you're right on Monday.

My name is Bella Swan. I'm 32 and still single. While all my friends have settled down and started their families, I'm still hanging around, looking for Mr. Right. I blame books; they've ruined me and gave me unrealistically high expectations of what my perfect man should be like. How am I supposed to settle down when no one I meet matches up to my book boyfriends?

Jasper sure put himself in a spot! That is a horrible thing for Carlisle to send him away to get killed. Poor Alice will be heartbroken. Maybe she should insist that she could go with him. That might change Carlisle's mind.

So maybe he is isn't actually cheating by having sex with someone else, but being out with someone, touching and carrying on in public is a form of cheating in my book. How would he like it if Bella was out doing things like that instead of taking care of his daughter? Edward could have explained what was going on instead of getting angry. I am a bit irritated with him right now.
Thank you for writing. I love this story.

Summary: Past Featured Story

 

wrapped2.jpg

Wrapped around animated.gif

Dr. Edward Masen is in for a surprise when his best friend and fellow colleague Dr. Carlisle Cullen invites him out to spend an evening with him at an exclusive member's only club. What Edward does not know, is that the club caters to a select few who share in a unique fetish within a certain lifestyle choice. He meets a brave little girl named Bella Swan who is more than happy to pull him into her world and introduce him to the wonderful lifestyle of Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism.

 

It is a story about two consenting adults who venture into the relationship of a Dominant Daddy/little girl.  

 

If you do not fully understand the dynamics of this type of lifestyle I can only inform you that this story has nothing to do with incest, nor are the characters role playing / age playing in any way. It is a relationship where they practice total power exchange in and out of the bedroom on a 24/7 basis.  

 

If any of what you have read so far freaks you out in any way, then I must warn you now...this story may not be for you.

Summary: Past Featured Story

TOTGA

Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine’s Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen. It was that unrequited love that forced her to move away to Seattle, as far from Tampa as possible. He never knew she existed. Or so she thought.

Edward was looking forward to his high school reunion because he was anxious to see the one that got away. Bella Swan was the quiet girl who never really interacted with anyone, but Edward saw that she was something special. But as ruler of the school, he had certain expectations to maintain. It was one of his biggest regrets. His life would have been easier if he had followed his heart. Now, he was a divorced father of two. His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.

Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

I think Edward knows what is best for his children and keeping Tanya away is best. Maybe by the time Lucy needs a mother's guidance, Bella will be in that role. Right now Grandma Esme is filling the role of mother figure for them. I don't think Bella had someone doing that for her.

His world revolves around respect. Well, respect is a two way street. He didn't respect Bella enough to be honest with her about what was going on in his life before he left. He didn't show her any respect when he made her leave her home without any say. And he isn't respecting his family by holding them prisoner in the compound where they have no say in anything. Did he really think she and the kids would actually be happy living there? He really isn't trying to get her to forgive him. Such an idiot!! Bella will probably be happier while Edward is gone.
