Sigh~That chapter was much too short. I've been waiting on pins and needles for Carlisle's retribution. Edward is going to be extremely angry. I followed you over, and I'm glad I did. This is a cool library. Keep writing. I'll be waiting for a new chapter.

Oh, how evil of you to leave us hanging. Is Carlisle at the door? He has to be in on Demetri's plan, right? Edward's gonna have a fit!

I didn't comment often because I was usually reading just before bed. The beginning chapters were very hard to read, but I'm so glad I stuck with your story. My favorite chapter was the one where Bella had a chance to escape from Edward in the mall parking lot. This story had so many extremes causing me to feel happiness, sadness, dread, and anger. I'm glad I followed you around the internet. This was worth it. Thanks for finishing.

Update soon!?! I read through that entirely too quickly. I really enjoy your writing style, but I want each chapter to last longer. (That's not a complaint.)How long do you usually go between updates? It seems like you posted two chapters before I knew it.

awww, this way way too short! why is edward confused by how well bella knows carlisle? i feel like i missed/forgot something.

Oh, wow! This is a great story. Please update soon. Edward seems to be hurting so bad. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Hi.

I just wanted to take time to tell you that I'm really enjoying your story. I have a feeling it's going to be a long one, so I'm hoping you'll stick with it until it's finished.

Ah, Bella's epiphany. I'm so glad this little outing went well. They so needed to get out of the purple bar without running into the paps. I wish everything could happen just a leeeetle bit faster...I'm dying to know what the deal is with Alice.

Edward drunk is just a bit too tempting. Bella's a good girl for helping him get to his room and into bed. I think I would have been tempted to take advantage of him. And I love that you used the word "dastardly".

Oh, you chore!! I can't believe you stopped there. I know good things are coming, but the wait is killing me. You're a great writer.

Killing me softly...All the mixed messages are driving me crazy, but I'm sure this will be great whenever things get straightened out. In the meantime, I'll be happy with this frustration. I like angst anyway.

AAAGH! They just keep missing each other! What strange dreams Bella had. The Cullens are dying for this whole misunderstanding to be cleared up and Bella's absolutely clueless. Poor Edward. What a mess!

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Bella has a lot of issues, though. What will it take for her to believe that Edward loves her? I hope he catches on before this whole thing blows up in his face. Bella can't accept that someone would really want her. That's so sad. I'm glad Edward's standing up and making decisions to allow him and Bella some time to discuss things. Yay, Edward!!

Of course I'm still here. This is an awesome story, and I never know what you're going to do next. I'm glad Bella believed him, but I know she still has a long way to go to get past what Riley did to her self-esteem. Edward will be really good for her, but the pressure of being in the spotlight could really suck. Here's hoping (fingers crossed)!!

hope you are having/had a good time in new york!

this story has me wrapped around its little finger. i can hardly wait for you to finish it. each chapter leaves me wanting more.

i missed the fact that you'd updated this. great chapter. interesting twist with riley...i wonder if there'll be any more contact from him? this climax is certainly slow in coming (no pun intended), but i'm sure it'll be good when it arrives.

wow, i was nervous! i kept thinking riley would somehow show up and ruin things. is he really on his way to canada? (rhetorical question, no pressure to answer) i don't know if knowing how riley honestly feels about bella makes things better or worse.... but i'm so glad edward and bella finally had some time to themselves.

that went better than i'd expected. now that it's over (?), i'm glad bella had the chance to reflect on how much she doesn't need riley in her life. it's nice to know that he wasn't playing with her heart, but he lost his chance at happiness. riley needs to GO HOME! now, maybe we can get through the introductions with charlie and elaine without any mishap. and i'm more than ready for bella to meet other members of edward's family. i guess the most important thing, though, is that bella and edward need some time to reconnect.

Ok, I didn't see that coming. Bella's parents were really harsh last time. I hope this doesn't blow up and get messy.

I like being in Carlisle's head. This is interesting. I don't even want to imagine her with Edward now.

I'm pretty sure she didn't. Even drunk, Bella wouldn't do that. I miss Carlisle.

Ok, I'm breathing again. I guess I can hang in there for a few more chapters. I think what you wrote was pretty realistic. I'd have had make-up sex before confessing, I guess. And there was no way Bella could have kept all that hidden without being eaten alive by guilt or doing further damage. But gosh, I can't believe you just had to stop there. Hurry up and tell us what happens between Edward and Carlisle.

This chapter was fabulous!! It feels like I've been waiting forever for this to be posted. I'm so glad Edward and Carlisle are communicating, and I'm beyond thrilled that Edward finally has an inkling of how much Carlisle loves him. Now we just have to get Bella and Carlisle together again.

That's so sad. I like the idea. It kind of reminds me of The Notebook. Poor Edward.

you two possess comedic genius! this was a great chapter!

for some reason, until now i didn't connect marcus/james with marcus volturi. this james is so very evil, and he really is crazy about bella (emphasis on crazy). poor edward must be going crazy because we all know bella would sacrifice herself to save the ones she loves.

No, I didn't see that one coming. I thought Edward and Tanya were in a monogamous relationship, even though they weren't romantically involved, so her approaching Bella was the last thing I would have imagined. If anything, I thought she was coming to start screaming at Bella for enticing Edward away from her. Very interesting.

I like it!! This is very different from my usual preferences, but something in the description drew me in. I can tell I was never meant to practice medicine because I can't imagine having to tell someone any kind of health-related bad news. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

You're such a descriptive writer. For the record, I've never had a philly cheese steak sandwich either. When I look at one, I feel the same way Edward does, and I can't see the appeal in that.

I love how Edward wants to take Jake's place in Bella's life while doubting that things would turn out better than they did with Tanya. And I'm glad Bella's story is finally coming out. This is gonna get really painful for Jake, but it's for the best.

That was sweet. Edward finally made time to relax and sleep. He's making progress. I'm curious about your Jasper. It sounds like the tattoos take the place of his bite marks. I want to hear about how he and Alice met. Obviously, she was waiting for him to show up in the diner, but how easily did they get together?

Whew! I'm glad that ended sort of happily. I was deliriously happy for about five minutes and then Kate opened her big mouth. I guess it just doesn't look right to anybody for Edward and Bella to be together. So many people stand to be hurt or have misconceptions regarding the two of them. What a mess! And now I've caught up to you and will have to wait for updates. :( Do we still have a long way to go? I mean chapter-wise. Obviously, there's still a lot that needs to be resolved.

I'm not gonna hate on Bella. I've broken up with someone before out of fear of bad timing. It didn't mean I felt any less for him; it just meant we weren't supposed to be together at that time. Edward seems to be coping well. I hope he manages to hold it all together because Bella's gonna need him. Good chapter!

Seriously?!? That would be awesome! But I know there are some rough times up ahead involving James and Victoria. I just hope the phone call was recorded and that Edward starts to listen to Bella's convictions regarding James. Gosh, I really just want to get to the happy ending. James and Victoria are making me nervous. Another great chapter!! I always look forward to your updates.

Awesome chapter! I know things are winding down, but I hate to see this come to an end.

That was HOT!! Oh, my goodness. I only recently realized that I have a thing for Domward. You're killing me here. I can't wait until the next chapter comes out. I have a lot of questions, but I'm sure you'll answer them all as the story unfolds. I know this is fiction, so I'm not expecting an answer to this, but I was wondering if a dom would train a sub without taking her. That had never occurred to me before reading this. And, of course, I want to know what part Jake played in Bella's past. I can't imagine them dating in your story.

It sounds like the Denali's and Esme are staging an intervention to break up Edward and Bella. They mean well, but Edward and Bella have to be together. They're sort of without a choice since neither can function well without the other. I love how much ne needs her, and it seems that that's pretty typical in the dom/sub relationship (from my very limited understanding).

wonderful chapter! how unique that bella can hear edward's thoughts the same way he hears hers. i really like this story. it's one of my favorites.

glad to see you're back at work on this one! i love this story. i think it's the only vamp edward and human bella sub/Dom pairing out there. it was certainly the first one i've ever read like this. keep plucking along. i'm here for the duration.

that was creepy!! i almost didn't read it because i was so afraid of the violence and what i thought had to be a terrible ending. plus, i was thinking of bella as an unmarried person who would be raped or worse. after realizing she and edward were already married, my fear grew because that meant she had more to lose. after all that horror, i was glad to know she was waking up in a hospital. then there was just a moment of contentment before i realized victoria wasn't done yet. creeptastic!

You're off to an excellent start! Very hot!! I like it.

awesome chapter!!! i'm so glad you covered that much all at once. i was afraid to hope they'd get that far so quickly. now edward has confessed his love and everything. what an awesome first time. loved the sexy underwear! gotta find some for myself. this story is one that i'm always waiting for; it's too good to put down. keep up the good work.

i liked it. :) i mean, the beginning was daunting, and i thought you might end everything without them actually meeting. but i'm always satisfied with a happy ending.

i remember you started writing by stating that you don't practice this lifestyle. i guess i'm just curious and interested, like you are. anyway, i just wanted to say that in this chapter, i came across the first and only time i've ever thought domward was sweet and sensitive. your edward told bella that "[his] life depends on her happiness." i was really touched. i love reading domward stories, but so many of the doms seem to enjoy being cruel. yours doesn't. :)

awesome chapter!! this story is definitely my favorite right now. you don't keep me waiting too long, and i love that your characters are not over-the-top. you make me feel that this relationship could be possible despite the impressive age difference.

love. this. story. and i love that you update on the regular. once again, you rock!! i'm ready to meet emmett, and i'm so ready for edward and bella to have the talk. i had to go google the tantric chair. i'm guessing it'd be a great addition to any home. :)

loved it!! thank you so much for the double update. you made my day. i love it when edward's vulnerability shows. he wants so badly to make this work with bella. your edward is tough and sweet. he's irresistible.

very HOT chapter! in-love-and-angsty edward is my favorite next to dominant edward. i got both in this chapter. i don't think he'll be able to handle bella's moving out for school. i have a feeling she won't be staying on campus. :)

oh my goodness, awesome!! i knew there had to be a threesome before all was said and done. very entertaining!

that was HOT!! i love that he's being so careful and sweet with her. bella will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that edward really treasures her.
