The playroom experience was a little over the top for me.  I still don't understand why many of the precursory activities seem to be so abusive (at least psychologically). 

The tampon thing is definitely a "yellow" or "red", although I don't believe Edward will respect her wishes.  He even said so internally that that issue was not over.  In a prior chapter he was plotting to put an end to her privacy in that aspect.

Bella has definitely been abused by James, most likely drugged, when she experience a 3 way (or more).  This will likely come out under hypnosis, which I'm certain Edward wants to learn the truth.  Then, what will he do with the knowledge?

Maybe I'm confused as to why Bella’s would allow Edward to abuse her body - after she experienced such abuse at the hands of a man who clearly did not love her.  How does she step into the Clinic for abused and battered women and look them in the face, knowing she is allowing a man to do the same for the sake of pleasure?  Sore nipples should be the least of her worries.

Edward continues to push Bella’s limits to what end?  Does this make her a better more secure person to be humiliated and embarrassed?  Is the plan to desensitize her through repetition of what make her uncomfortable? 

You’re right Bella could have said “yellow” or “red” at any time – but the thought of disappointing her Master (and lover) I believe are too great for her to risk the issue.  I think she sucks it up and take the abuse – because love of any kind (kink) is better than none at all.

Writing, when done well, should evoke emotion and opinion – honey, you have it in spades.

No hurricanes in the forcast, but maybe some freezing temps.  Remeber the 3 P's:  Protest your Pets, Pipes and Plants.  Oh, and write the next chapter too.

Are we nearing the end of our story?  Things are starting to come together.

Another solid story - I'm working through them one-by-one.  Really enjoyed Labels.  I've had it on my "must read" list for several months.

I love your endings and they always leave me hungry for more.  We'll I'm moving on to your next story.  I appreciate your work, HEA's and attention to detail.

Hope you're still reading review from completed stories.

Rest assured you’re not the only person who suffers from “Test Anxiety”.  Beefing the GPA is a good buffer – but not really a solution.  With two Bachelors and a Masters degree, I’ve suffered along with you on more than one occasion.

My guess on the mystery observer….the VP.  He has the most the gain from the Prez being impeached.  The Oval Office desk sex was “hot” and very satisfying.  I’m really loving the devotion of your Edward towards Bella and Seth.

May I suggest a plot twist?  Bella and Edward elope one Saturday (very soon) at Martha’s Vineyard or Camp David.  Maybe have a few Heads of State present as a cover for an off campus summit.  Then, when it “hits the fan” this Prez may reveal that he was having “appropriate affections” towards his bride/wife.  (The undercover First Lady.)

Rose as maid of honor and Emmett the best man, with lots of photos to share with John Q. Public.  Mom and Dad, front and center.  Rose moves in as VP – with Carlisle’s help.  (He’s got some make-up points to score.)

Well honesty is always the best approach - but Edward is going to step back - and I think Bella just killed the mood.

Men say, "We could make beautiful babies together", to open the door for sex - not to delivery the product.

Let's see where Edward's real commitment begins.

I'm going to miss the "donor", and this has been a great ride.  These guys are like something you see on a cable network episode, Honey Boo Boo meets the Beverly Hillbillies.

Great fun.
