I realize this hasn't been updated in forever, but I wanted to leave a note anyways in the hope that you still receive the alerts.

I'm so very very grateful for the third chapter and the emotional place you must have taken yourself not only as an author, but as a participant in the scene. As authors, we do not simply watch or observe behavior, we experience it and through that emotional journey with the characters, we tell the story.

On a personal note, I have been through something similar to what your Bella alludes. Having also experienced a renaissance of myself through my training and furtherance of my submission, I just want to thank you for sharing very raw emotions, experiences and the strength of a relationship within the D/s lifestyle.

Beautiful.

Wow very deep and well written. Thanks for sharing.

That was interesting, a bit scary, but hot

wow that was hot!

This last chapter was brilliant. Definitely an intriguing idea and I like the little insight into their relationship and Bella's life before all of it. It was the perfect balance of subtlety and clarity. I, at least, think it was handled delicately and respectfully :) Nice work!

Beautifully.

So having known in advance what this chapter contained had me very prepared, but it wasn't bad, I mean I felt awful for Edward and actually thought it was shitty of her to ask this of him, and I thought he must really love her to be willing... and this is actually an area I do have a little experience so for me, I fail to see how this could have helped her at all...

I was wondering, Did Edward actually re-create the entire act? because once the blade sliced her clothes she wasn't there with him, or that's what it seemed to me, so I couldn't tell if Edward did anything beyond that point...

I really enjoyed reading these two, and would love to have more of them...

You wrote these two from a different perspective than any of the other fics in this genre... It was so real and not glorified, they clearly love each other (although I still don't get how Edward could have wanted Bella to suck Garrett off) and he is a very competent Dom with Bella's best interests at heart... I never considered the Sub role as powerful until this... Would you ever write these two from his pov?

Thanks for sharing!

I loved how she thought this "how he'll use me and pleasure himself." - HOT...

But once Garrett appeared, all was lost for me, I just can't go there, in my mind watching the one you love suck another’s cock just doesn't fly... But I know this is just a personal thing for me, but I was grossed out by this scene, even more so that Edward would like Garret getting sucked off by his wife and then cuming all over her breasts...

"With that, I step off his body and make my way to the shower. As the warm water streams over my body, I cleanse myself. I wash away Garrett's come, my guilt at loving every fucking minute of what we all just did together, and the negative feelings that swell inside of me after certain scenes and moments.

I take a moment to cry, to indulge in my negativity and self-loathing, and just as I've wiped the last tear and sucked in my last hiccupped breath, a warm body slips behind me in the shower." Um ya, this just WOW!

...

The fire play, I do understand her pushing her limits, but is it ever going to be enough, with each concur wont one just want to concur another... I actually get that there is allot of pressure and insane amounts of responsibility for a Dom, I never got that impression before, but you have written this so real that I can feel his need to pleasure her and protect her but also sate his needs as well and when your literally playing with fire, It's just complete responsibility, in fact, now that I think about it, I am surprised a Dom can even cum during an intense scene, they must be VERY sure of themselves...

And OK, so the cutting and the fire turn her on, but does it also turn Edward on to cut and burn his wife/sub?

I know since I am not familiar with any of this, I just don't get this... "In his words, in his expression, I know he gets it. I know he understands the corner we just went to, and how profound the moment was between us. I can see in his eyes that he feels it too."

"Welcome back," he says.

Welcome back? Where did she go? Is it fine that she sobs and cries after each scene?

I feel like this story is so much more RL, not glamorized, but real... and despite what my review might reflect I am truly enjoying this, it’s fascinating and very hot at some points, shocking at others... It's a ride!

This was insane, and intense, and completely uncomfortable for me, I Loved It... This isn't an area I have any knowledge in, and this seemed beyond reason to me, but her mindset actually worked for me... It wasn't a weak position like I sometimes (often) feel like a submissive is in... and take that statement with a grain of salt, I have already stated I have no knowledge or experience in this, I can only comment on stories I have read, but truly she was powerful, more so than he... This was so well written, taking you through her emotions, the good, the bad and the ugly...

I am shocked to say I really enjoyed this...

Very intense. I'm glad you gave a warning for this chapter. I did like the school girl fantasy.

I'm not sure what went on but it was still brilliant.

That's just amazing! Very nice.

Now that! Was. Awesome. I loved it. Great jod

Great story but I had no idea what was going on in te last chapter.

I truly am in love with this story. I love it so much. It made me think and feel and learn a lot. I am so glad I didn't skip this story. You made my day.. This story by far is my favourite. I couldn't ask for a better story. Although it made me cry during the last and first Chpt. I was touched so deeply. It made me love the people around me more and I just have to thank you for putting such an amazing story on fanfic.
