It's coming soon! :)

Well so far everyone seems to be loving the story and we are so happy about that.  Not a lot of questions asked this go around, but there will probably be some more by the next chapter.  This story will be somewhere between twenty and thirty chapters when complete.  We mentioned this will post once a week on Mondays.  If for some reason Kasi can’t post Monday morning, it may post late Sunday night.  The Cullen’s are very accepting of Edward’s choices in life and his lifestyle, therefore yes the Cullen’s would be good to Bella if she were to be around them.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts as the story goes.  (Nikky) & Kasi~

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  We were very glad to see that the major majority of you are no longer questioning Edward’s abilities to do the right thing.  The next chapter is the chapter that will really set things into motion.

 We have had some concerns brought to our attention regarding the fact that Bella talks to Edward about herself in third person.  We are not saying that EVERY submissive talks to their Dominant in third person, but the research we’ve done, more often than not it is the way it is.  Keep in mind that we’ve spoken to Dominants and submissives alike during our research.  In this story Bella has a photographic memory, she could have read any number of books which reference the usage of third party speaking as a natural way to show submission.  Neither of us is saying anyone else should do this, but in this story Bella is quite the natural at speaking as a submissive. 

Some have suggested that Edward try to just be a boyfriend and not a Dom to Bella.  Edward will discuss all of this with her soon, we assure you that no stones will be left unturned.  Chapter eight you will get to meet Charlie, but first we will have a turning point in seven that many of you have been asking for and suggesting since chapter two. 

There have been a lot of comments and references about the neglect Bella has withstood from her ‘family’.  When Nikky and I first talked about this story I wanted us to play up the neglect, because it is a huge amount of the way many children live.  I have shared with everyone, in the author’s notes and review replies, that I was a victim of neglect.  When I talked about my own experiences it was not for your sympathy it was to say that I know it happens.  I want to say thank you to all of you who have made mention of my past abuse, and send hugs to those who have shared some of their own stories with us.  Not everything Nikky and I write about Bella happened to me, and as an adult I had a moderately decent relationship with my parents.  I cannot say that Bella will, or that this story will end with her having contact with her biological parents. 

We hope this addresses the majority of your concerns and or questions.  We will see you next week with a pivotal chapter in the story! 

Much love, Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:
“Please, excuse me, I need to take this,” I inform Aro and move away while answering my cell. “Beautiful, how are you this evening?”

I don’t hear a reply, but I can hear music in the background.

“Ah, shit! That hurt,” Bella’s voice comes across the line, but it sounds off and slurred.

“Bella, are you okay?” I ask alarmingly, already moving toward the exit.

“Oh, this ... weird ... I was going to call you.  I feel ... real funny ... strange.  My head ... hurt and ... I feel ... um ... so dizzy ...”

I see Felix standing guard close to the door and I head to him. “Bella, I’m on my way.  Stay on your cell.”

I pull my cell away from my mouth before speaking to Felix. “I need to go. Find Aro tell him I had to leave, he will assist you in any details you need.  Let him know he is in charge.”

He gives me a nod, and I exit the door and run to my car.

“Okay, Beautiful, stay right where you are and stay on the phone with me. I’m on my way to you.” I try to take some deep breaths to calm myself. “Where are you, Beautiful?” I start my car as I switch my cell to hands-free.

“I ... hum, bathroom ... I think. Fuck ... it’s warm in here.”

I know right now it is best to keep her talking. “Have you been drinking?” I ask frowning, because I know even when I’m out with her, Bella does not drink much.

“Nope ... I am ... a goo ... girl ... I swear ... Sir, no ... drink-ies ... for me.”

“There you are! I was wondering where you got off to. Who are you talking to?” I hear a male’s voice ask, and I move my car a little faster.

Well a lot of you still want Renee to die a slow and painful death, but many of you are just glad she is gone.  Renee will be heard from again in future chapters, however we don’t want to give away too much by telling you how, when or why.  We think the next chapter will be the second most popular chapter to date when it posts.  Christmas and preparations for it, is a very fun time for Edward and Bella and will hopefully be well received by our readers. 
On a side note, please check out the wonderful little story that Nikky, Jess2002 and I are writing for Savannavansmutsmut.  It is called If I Die Young and it is posting under the author name: WeeJessAndTAT.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 

I lead her back to my car and we drive to another place where I can pick up the things that I need. I watch as Bella blushes and chuckles at the joke gifts the store has. I frown when I see that she has a bag, having bought something without showing me.

“What’s in the bag, Little Girl?” I ask trying to get the bag from her. But she’s quicker and hides it behind her back.

“It’s one of your Christmas gifts, Sir, and you can’t see it until Christmas morning.”

I chuckle shaking my head at her, knowing this will be fun for both of us in the long run.  “Oh, is that a fact, Little Girl? I could order you to show me, you know?”

Bella shakes her head at me. “Then your girl will tell tales to her Sir’s mom.”

My mouth drops open and I look at her, smiling internally, because she is willing to stroke the lion and play. “Is that so, Little Girl?”

Bella nods at me, but bites her lip.

“Well then, Little Girl, I may need to give you a spanking,” I say playfully to her.

“Your girl will take the spanking, Sir. Your girl really wants this present to be a surprise for her Sir.”

“Fair enough, let’s finish shopping.” I shake my head, watching her walk away from me. She looks over her shoulder and flicks her skirt a little showing her ass.  “Spanking it is then,” I say to myself before walking after her.

Well it seems like more and more of you are hating Bella’s parents.  That is quite understandable, but you haven’t even met them yet.  Yeah you get to meet them.  Form your opinions after you do.  The back story of what happened at Harvard will come out, soon.  You will also get to see more of the sweet side of our DomWard in upcoming chapters.

We had people worrying about throwing Bella right into scenes and such, we want to assure you that there is no way we could write that, because there is no way she could do that.  This story starts in September, and they will be friends first.  Edward has feelings for her, but he knows she is quite broken.  Have some trust in us, we are not perfect but we do try to provide a decent story worth reading.

We’ve had a lot of people asking about chapter count, and posting time frames.  At this point we are saying around 25 chapters.  There are 14 written and once we have it fully written we will post much more often.  We could easily post up to chapter 12 right now, but then you would be stuck waiting for 13 and on up.  We would rather put you on a week wait now, than have to say, sorry we got writers block no chapter this week.  We purposely started posting after we had 10 chapters written for a reason. 

We’re going to start giving teasers like we did for His Cimmerian View, and this is the first teaser and it is unannounced, so enjoy.

Nikky and Kasi~

I chuckle, before leaning in to whisper to her.  “These are exhibitionist submissive and Dominants that are in these. There are many showing different scenes—new things—teaching methods.  Some have sex in them, but unlike porn these, or most of them I should say, are collared pairings, who have been together for a long time and both agreed to do this.  There are some that are of a submissive that is into humiliation.  They’d meet with the Dom several times and build a trust between them, before these filmed scenes take place.  There’s always a contract between both parties, and both are screened for STDs beforehand.”

Bella looks at the DVDs and then back at me.  “Are you in any of them?” she asks, her voice is soft and low.

I look at her shaking my head.  “No, I’ve never done that.  Well, I never had someone taking pictures or a video of it anyway.  I have done a few scenes with my sub at the time.  When I’m not with a collared sub, like my current situation, I’ve done scenes with submissives’ whom I have a good relationship with from my club.  I’m due to do a teaching scene about rope bondage and spanking at the club three weeks from now.  No matter how many scenes I participate in, the one thing I don’t do is have sex during a public scene.”

Hello everyone!  Thanks for all your kind words.  We want to start off by addressing some of the frequent questions.  This quote (“I know they love me, really ... I know but, it’s strange, maybe it’s just me. You know that I see and hear things differently from the rest of the world, but thank you for doing this and answering my questions.”) from chapter five had someone ask, what Bella meant.   Bella is referring to how she perceives her family versus the way others do.  Jacob is not a card we are showing yet, you’ll have to be patient to see what he has up his sleeve.  Did Bella hear him in the shower?  We have yet to hear that answer from Bella ourselves, but in my thoughts she surely did.  Will there be any chapters in Bella’s POV?  She is talking a little here and there, but nothing’s set in stone as of yet.  Shouldn’t Edward as a good Dom cancel the scene?  The scene is not canceled, but it has been modified from the original way it was written.  This was for several reasons.  We have sixteen chapters written, yet we still continue to makes tweaks and changes here and there before posting.  When we started making him have hard feelings about the upcoming scene, or feel nervous about it, we started discussing it more.  We found a way to appease us, our readers and yet still show what we wanted to show.  So trust us—please.  I’m glad we haven’t fallen into the pleads for more chapters to post faster, because in the last week we haven’t gotten another one done.  Of course WeeKittyAndTAT, JessAndTAT and TeamAllTwilight all submitted pieces of work into the Fandom Fights LLS.  WeeKittyAndTAT did an Epilogue of sorts for Ropin’ A Sitter.  JessAndTAT did a future take on Bases Loaded.  I wrote a new fan fiction novella, it’s called, The Things That Make You Click.  All of these will post to our FFN and TWCS accounts, but not until after December first.  Watch for two one-shots to post soon to our account, the winners will be announced tomorrow in the More is MORE contest.  Think that brings you all up to speed.  Feel free to PM us and ask questions if you have them.  Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  “Felix, my father is coming in tonight. Please have him come straight to my office.  Keep everyone else out until I’m done. If there are any problems, I trust you to deal with them accordingly.”

Felix nods at me, but doesn’t say anything. I carry on, walking toward Jenks, when I’m stopped by Tanya.

“Sir, I have some news that I would like to share with you.”

I turn and face Tanya who looks like the cat who got the cream. “Tanya, I’m very busy, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.” 

I move away from her, but she grabs my wrist pulling me back. “It’s very important, Sir.”

I yank my arm away from her, turning to face her once more. “Tanya, don’t you tell me when I will speak with you. I’m busy, so unless you’re going to die in the next five minutes and need me to call an EMT for you, I don’t want to know. And never touch me again without my consent!”

I walk away without waiting for her response. As I approach Jenks, he shakes his head, looking behind me at Tanya.

“Ah, still trying to get your attention then?”

I nod at him, opening up my office.

“I’d stay away from that one; she’s clearly after money, fame and quite frankly, has ‘whore’ written all over her.”

I chuckle a little at his quite accurate synopsis of Tanya. “Yes, I know. Those are the main reasons I have always refused her, that, and she makes me lose brain cells every time she opens her mouth. But enough about her, what did you find out.”

Jenks looks at me sadly and I can clearly see the worry on his face. “This is not going to be easy to read. Even harder for you I’d say, because you’ve become somewhat involved with the girl.”

I nod at him in understanding. “Just show me.”

We knew the reactions to chapter eight would be intense and strong.  We were shocked that some of you actually attacked Bella for being weak, but at the same time it’s not surprising.  Sometimes people who are mentally abused and neglected for years strive only for some sort of love.  I can’t imagine any child not wanting their parent to love them.  We all see love in differing ways, and when you’re raised not feeling that unconditional parental love, it makes you strive to have it—at least it did for me.  Bella will come into her own strength soon, and with the help of Edward and his family she will get better.  We are stoked for you to see the interaction with Bella viewing Esme and the way that Esme treats her children, so a portion of that is your teaser.
Many of you asked why Edward did not just beat Charlie down, or how he could have not stopped the situation, or known Jake was in the kitchen.  Edward is one person, and he was trying to watch out for Leah, Jake, Charlie, Brady and didn’t know if he could trust any of the other five people there as well.  As for when Charlie smacked Bella, he had his attention focused on Leah and Jacob.  As for why he did not punch or beat down anyone, imagine this:  Edward defends Bella by striking someone or several someone’s.  He gets arrested his word against several, one of whom is the police chief.  Meanwhile Bella is unprotected and left with the wolves.  It was best for him to do as he did get her out and safe.  And trust that he will be dealing with this.  The ball has already been rolling on a few things, but this just upped the ante.
I’m sad to say that we have lost some readers, but again we cannot and will not apologize or rose color a story about an abused girl, when a good lot of the abuse she withstands is things that are personal to one of the writers and or other people the writers know.  Abuse happens and the largest form of abuse out there is mental abuse and neglect.  Awareness is a key to making things better.  Bullying is a problem, and awareness is a key.  We are however thankful that we have readers who trust in us to bring things full circle.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:  “This is very nice, Esme,” Bella says after taking a bite.

Esme smiles broadly at Bella.  “Thank you, dear.  Edward tells me you're quite a wonderful cook yourself.”

Bella’s blush appears on her face.  “I’m nowhere near as good of a cook as this.”

I shake my head at her.  “Trust me, Bella’s cooking is to die for,” I say as Emmett passes me the wine. I pour some for Esme, Bella, and then lastly for myself.

“What are you going to college for?” Rose asks as she looks at Bella.

“I’m getting a law degree,” Bella answers, but I know the whole table can hear the sadness in her voice.

“And Edward tells us that you’re a dancer, a quite wonderful one at that.”  I look to Alice, smiling that she brought up something that makes my girl happy.

Bella nods at Alice.  “Yes, I love dancing, but I only do it for fun.”

“You’re in the Christmas dance program for the college though, right?” Esme asks as she looks at Bella.

“Yes,” she replies with another blush.

“Carlisle and I have tickets for three of the performances. I’m so looking forward to the show, and seeing you dance, of course.  The dance department director has been bragging to the board of directors about the dances that you have choreographed.” Again Bella blushes more at hearing about the commendations she’s being given.

“That’s got to be the cutest blush ever,” Emmett says in a childish voice, which is followed by a slap from Rose. 

“I love dancing, and the people I’ve been dancing with are all great.  I just hope that no one’s disappointed at the end of the night.”

Esme frowns a little. “I’m sure no one will be disappointed, dear.” My mom smiles at Bella in a way that I can see the mother in her trying to break out and pull Bella in.

The rest of the dinner seems to fly by with everyone talking about what’s been happening.  The more the night goes on, the more Esme became motherly to Bella, but I’ve also noticed Bella becoming uncomfortable with it.  At so many times, she’s looked like she isn’t sure how to react at something Esme has said or done.  She’s remained respectful, but I’ve seen her slowly distancing herself from Esme.

I walk Bella to the car and open the door for her. “I’ll just be a few seconds.” I give her a wink and walk back to house.

As soon as I do, I can hear Esme’s upset voice.  “We really need to do something.  I won’t accept that nothing can be done.”

I hear my father sigh.  “It takes time, dear.”

“No, first those little punks ... I’ll let you and Edward deal with them, but Charlie is mine!”

I chuckle, but feel a little nervous, because I can hear the anger in my mom’s voice. 

Many of you have already figured out that Renee is not quite motherly material. We were laughing and shocked by some of the stuff said about Renee’s pink hair.  Gotta love it.  We think you’ll like the next chapter, we get to see Renee and how she treats Bella, but we will also see how Edward gives Bella the ability to stop letting Renee walk all over her.  We think you will love it, we know we did.  A lot of you are worried about Jake and Charlie as well as Tanya ... with that being said we don’t want to give away anything much, but trust by the end of the story all things will be resolved.  I think you all will enjoy Edward’s protective ways of Bella, now that he knows she is his both casually and contractually.  We hope that you love the teaser, we had to share something juicy with you.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER:

“I couldn’t tell you for how many years we’ve been married. I know it’s been a few, but it still feels like yesterday.”

I roll my eyes at Renee’s performance, because that’s what she’s doing—performing for them.

“Mr. Cullen, when were you going to tell the world about your marriage to this woman?” one of the paparazzi yells out.

I shake my head at them. “Mrs. Dwyer is not my wife; she’s the mother of my girlfriend. Mrs. Dwyer was talking about her husband, Phil Dwyer, he plays baseball.”

Renee turns and glares at me. “They know who he is. He’s the best baseball player that has ever lived.”

I glance at the paparazzi seeing they’re all trying to figure out which team he plays for. The bright one of the bunch of course starts questioning me again. “Where is the new girlfriend, Mr. Cullen? Do we get to know her name?” I smile and look beside me to see that Bella has moved to stand almost behind me.

“She’s a little camera shy, and her name is Isabella Swan. However, we have to go, her mom and step-father have had a long flight, and it’s been a few months since they’ve had a chance to visit.  As you can imagine, they want to spend some time together, so please excuse us and have a nice day.” 

I start to walk away, but see Renee has failed to move. “Push this for a second, Beautiful,” I say before walking back and grabbing Renee’s arm lightly.  “Time to go.”

She huffs at me and I give her the look which managed to only shut her up for a whole two seconds. She really is obtuse. “Look, I need to do stuff like that with the paparazzi. I know you’re just a newcomer, but I’m famous because of who I’ve married.”

Hey, thanks for reading and review Meeting Her Needs.  Nikky and I are very happy with the amount of pleasure most of you are finding in this story, so THANK YOU SO MUCH.  There haven’t been very many questions or things to touch base on this week, so I’ll try to do it all here.  Someone wanted to know why the lemon wasn’t longer and more detailed.  The lemon was written the way it was because we want this story to be more about the story and less about the lemons themselves.  We had questions and comments regarding the BDSM in this fic too.  The BDSM in this fic and the actions within this fic of the lifestyle in and of itself have come from many conversations with people from the lifestyle.  Not everything is intense tie you up, spank you, kneel and crawl.  It is a matter of respect, choices and trust.  Please don’t ever think that we would want to write a story just for the sole purpose of making someone another person’s punching bag or pet (in the term of treating someone as if they are not human.)  We will continue to post once a week until the story is completely written.  Nikky is currently working on chapter 20 and there are five more after that to write.  If you ever have additional questions, you can find us on FACEBOOK look for the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  You can also email us at our screen name all lower case at gmail.  Thanks and see you Sunday with the update.

Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:  “I–I need ... I can’t sit here. I just need time ...” Bella gets up quickly and almost runs out of the room. 

I sigh looking at Phil. “She’ll be fine—she has to be—we just need to be there for her when she needs us.”

I nod and get up to start looking around for her. I looked throughout the house first, which takes me almost a half hour to do. I was starting to panic that she actually left our home. I open the back patio door and I see her, and instantly I feel myself calm.

“Beautiful,” I say when I approach her, as she works in the dirt of the flower bed she started with my mother. She stops and turns to me and I give her time, knowing she is going to talk to me now.

“Dr. Banner thinks I have been suppressing and curtailing my anger. I’m starting to think that he’s right. I’m just so angry right now, but mainly I’m mad at myself.”

I frown and tilt my head in question at her.

“Edward, I let them—I let them treat me that way. I was always trying to please them. I never asked for anything other than their time. I would always say it was fine, when they forgot my birthday, or anything that was connected to me. I let Charlie push me out of his life. I would always sit back and pretend that didn’t kill me to see him call Leah his princess, or listen to him tell her he was proud of her and loved her. I would say it was me that was to blame for that. I was the broken one. That there must be something wrong with me, and I wasn’t worthy of their love. It’s kind of pathetic when you think about it, huh?”

I shake my head and move to her. “It’s not pathetic to want and desire to be loved.”

Well Nikky and I both want to thank you for reading and reviewing.  All of the questions, compliments, anger (at the characters), love and kindness in the reviews is what keeps us going so strong.  SO, thank you, for reading, reviewing, sharing your stories and most of all for loving the characters—the characters who may not belong to us in name, but who we’ve taken and made into something completely different.  It is very cool to take a loved character, change them and make them different and still have people love them so much or fall in love with them all over again.   There were lots of reviews filled with questions about the newspapers and what Charlie told them.  First in regards to the newspapers, just like when Renee went all press goddess on them, the news already knows Edward.  Edward has made no secret of his lifestyle, how else would Charlie so easily have found out about Edward.  Therefore there was really nothing to put in the press, Charlie could try but it would not be front page news anyway.  Also if you remember right, Edward doesn’t really put a lot of stock into the media reports.  There are a lot of great things to come yet, so have patience and trust.  No stones will be left unturned.   Thanks again for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER: Phil and I walk into Jenks’ office. I decided that I no longer want any of this shit spoken about at the club. Bella loves the club and I didn’t want any additional bad feelings in it for her.

“Jenks, Benjamin,” I say taking a seat; Phil nods at them.

“We’ve found the last of the girls and even another case that was not dropped.” I look at them and they hand me a picture of a girl I have actually met and I’m in shock. 

“They have DNA from a brutal attack and rape of her,” Jenks says as I look over the paperwork behind the picture.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I say and they both shake their heads.

“Now you really need to look at this,” Jenks says handing me another stack of paperwork.

I read the papers and frown. “How the hell did he make Chief of Police?” I ask rhetorically, not really asking anyone.

“I’m really not sure on that one, but he will lose his job with all of this.”

I sigh rubbing my face. “Make it happen,” I say and stand up, walking out the door.

“Edward?” Phil yells after me.

“Phil, just let me calm myself. I’m really close to losing all of my control. The more I find out about Charlie Swan, the angrier I become with him.”

Phil nods in understanding. “There’s a boxing ring a few blocks from here, how about we get padded up and go for a few rounds?”

I sigh and look at him, but I stop myself from speaking. I can see he’s clearly as angry as I am. “Sounds good, just watch my face,” I say and I hear him chuckle.

“Yeah, Bella will kick my ass if I hurt your pretty face. Do you think she’s ready for Saturday?”

I shrug my shoulders. “We’ll work together to get her ready, and then we’ll all be there for her on the other side. No matter what, I know she needs to do this, even if I hate the idea of it.”
