Oh wow! They are sort of becoming attached to one another! Absolutely amazing job! I cannot wait for more so update real soon! Xoxoxoxoxoxo

Every sentence, every word, every syllable - perfection. I am utterly immersed in this story. The orchestration, the danger, the tension...beyond any intensity I've experienced in a TwiFic before. Duly impressed and clamoring for more of your masterfully chosen words, BellaDonna!

Seems he's hit a nerve.

Poor Edward... I wonder if he'll hate Angela eventually for what he has to do for her, even though she'd unaware. And there's more to Bella than her cynicism and coldness, it seems. I don't know where this might be going, and I can't wait to see.

As for your piece of art, all your words speak to me, that's why I come back for more every time ;)

Edward, even as he takes control of the sexual activity for this evening and lays some rules for Bella to observe regarding Angela, is a most unhappy man. And the coming of Alice will not make matters better for Edward.

Oh my goodness.

What was that, at the end, in the limo? I think we saw something more there.

So hot. And she wants him. But for how long?

Thank you :)

It most definitely speaks to me. And in that limo we saw a glimpse of something that I don't think either of them are willing to acknowledge. At least not to each other. But there was a slight shift. Who knows where it will lead, but I think they could both be the better for it.

This encounter is the most intimate and least mechanical of those to date.
Has the table turned in Edwards favor or will Isabella be even more power hungry and aggressive in the next meeting to prove for power strong hold?
Edward's mother commented that she understood his situation; has she been faced with a similar circumstance that she could have easily walked away from?

Great chapter! I think that Isabella was wrong about Edward...he's been very resourceful in getting his family what they need. She's being used just as much as he is...
Can't wait for more!

You make me feel so much for these two sad and lonely people. You are truly a gifted writer

This is awful - but so good. I hope you know what I mean. It's a reprehensible thing that Bella is doing - but you write it so well.

Wow! I can not wait to hear all of Bella's back story, as to why she is so driven to be on top. Edward reminds me of how my Mom was when I was younger, always the care taker for everyone , but herself. When my mom first met her sole mate I was a 16 year old know it all teenager, so I did not like my mom's new guy. By the time that got remarried and had gone through hell and back with my own relationship, I was no longer blind and began to see what my Mom and Dad(step father) really had. True love, friendship, happiness and each other!

Gah, i felt bad about real life keeping me away from opening this up, and even more so now after your author's note.

Of course this speaks to me. In the beginning I felt so horribly for Edward trying to be Hercules when all he had was human shoulders. His situation hasn't really changed, but he has. Is. And I never thought he'd be able to grow from this arrangement.

Honestly, I thought it would eat him up, and it still may, but at least he is finally taking something from the world in return for all of his effort. Where this will lead I do not know, but I'm anxious to see it through.

Thank you for continuing to share your works with us and I wish you the best of everything.

Your words just break my heart in this story. I am hanging on here, because I just adore all of your work, your writing. It is so very hard for me to hang on though. This is a very sad and angsty tale . . . my heart hurts to read it. I keep having hopes and expectations that you make it better. Perhaps your heading us on to no HEA. Actually . . . I don't see how they could have an HEA at this point. Perhaps it will come out in the future on how they can have one. I just want Edward happy at this point. Everyone, and I mean everyone in his life is using him for one thing or another and he can't escape. I'm surprised he is holding on. Again, holding on here . . . but it hurts.

I am loving this fic. The way e & b keep taking each other by surprise, the smut (of course!), and especially how it pulls at my heart for poor e. can't wait to keep reading!
