Edward's Eternal Kiss

Chapter 7

Voyeurism or Perverted Peeping Tom…you decide.

The rest of the week, I literally felt like I was cast aside like yesterdays newspaper.
Edward's demeanor towards me changed completely. He went from flirty, friendly to cold, and indifferent. I guess turning him down may of hurt his feelings a little bit.
As if it wasn't bad enough that I had spent the entire last weekend sequestered in my room with nothing but Edward on my mind, I find myself back here in my room every night this week delving into the world of domination via the web. My online researching is basically for my own curiosity beyond the scope of what Jessica or Edward have shared with me about his lifestyle.
I fully understood the relationship Edward shares with his submissive's.
They were there to submit themselves to him fully and to please him.
His responsibilities were to push them to their limits, care for them, and to enjoy the pleasure they would provide him.
I read the contract that Edward had all his submissive's read and sign. He was very generous and took very good care of all of them. Then there was the hard/soft limit lists which Jessica explained to me in detail, the basics of what they were and weren't willing to do in a scene.
For a naïve dork like me, I have to admit some of the things on these lists left me completely clueless as I didn't really understand the lingo. I found a site that had a list from A to Z for BDSM terms.
Frightening is an understatement!
I finally looked up a term that had been plaguing me. When I figured out what the hell breath play was I blanched.
Seriously?
I had a very hard time imagining myself ready to fall over the edge from a orgasm to have someone cut my ability to breath off and consider that a form of foreplay.
Can we say "Uh No, I pass and thank you?"
You would think that my morbid curiosity would have steered me clear to delve farther but no, my curiosity never ceases to end!
Caning? You have got to be fucking kidding me!
I rolled my eyes and started to giggle like a madwoman as I began imagining moaning out 'oh yeah baby' so close to the edge and then someone whacking me on the ass with one of those weapons to ruin the moment. Can we say mood killer?
Then there were some techniques that tickled my girly parts and peaked my curiosity even further because of their disparity.
My over active imagination wanted to take a ride down the Edward Cullen Highway as I pictured in my mind being blindfolded and tied to any one of those pieces of equipment in his penal complex to be pleasured by the Adonis himself.
The question was…what did Edward Cullen consider pleasure?
I knew of one way to find out without asking.
Yes, I did it. I went ahead and searched the files in the office for a copy of Edward's list of hard/soft limits.

Well that was completely anti-climatic. At least I knew what he didn't like. Maybe everything that wasn't listed he was open to, so here I sit referring to a list of things that the girls had listed as their soft limits.

Well that didn't give me anything further. I began to wonder what the big secret was. Why they were not allowed to list these. It seemed odd. Then my inner voice spoke up.
No Bella what seems odd is that you have managed to become a lunatic. What are you doing? Stealing copies of confidential records from EC Elite?
Oh, shit! What have I done? I am losing my mind. What are you doing to me Edward Cullen? I don't know what it is about him but I can't stop thinking about him. I have literally become obsessed with this man and his lifestyle! I began to realize I have ignored my friends, my family and am fully unaware about what is going on around me in the real world. Hell I don't even remember when I saw Jessica last!
I made a promise to myself that I was going to spend the weekend making up for it.
I had to get back to being a normal person and stop this crazy obsession. This job was consuming my every waking moment. Hell and my sleeping ones for that matter. I destroyed the copies of the paperwork I had taken from Edwards and shut my laptop. Tomorrow was Friday, I was going to go to work and stay focused, and when the weekend came, I was going to return to my life BC. (Before Cullen)
I walked into the bathroom and started the water for a long hot soak and I still found myself muttering.
Stealing a confidential document from EC Elite! I am losing my mind! I have to be.
Damn you Cullen!

~X~X~X~

I arrived at the house on time Friday morning and didn't even bother going to the kitchen since I had completely forgotten my lunch and I had coffee at home before I left.
I walked in the office and sat down at my desk to find another post it notes with a handwritten list from Edward.
Damn his writing is perfect! Ugh!
I read the note and nearly fell off my chair.
Miss Swan,
Laurent is scheduled to pick up you and the girls at two this afternoon for a trip to Cajoled. Carmen has my instructions on the attire of the girls.
Please Isabella don't hesitate to purchase anything for you as far as the party goes. Add it to the account.
Edward
I am going to be attending this party. But why? Then I heard Jessica's faint voice in my head.

His pet's/subs are your responsibility to take care of their needs and anything he asks of you. What the job entails was everything that had to do with his lifestyle… booking play dates with others in the community, coordinating the parties he hosted and being available for Edward at a moments notice should he need something that pertained to his lifestyle.

That's just great!
For a fleeting moment, I got a dreadful feeling trying to picture myself at this party of sex and ropes and leather. Then as soon as that moment passed, I got that same strange sensation in between my legs when I added Edward to that equation.
Sex, rope, leather, and Edward.
OH. MY.GOD!
The visual that popped into my head nearly had me faint. Then suddenly I got excited. Maybe a little too excited as the dampness spread.

Damn it! Not again!

"Good Morning Miss Swan."
I nearly jumped out of my seat. I was staring into the golden eyes of a blonde haired guy and a cute little petite girl with black spiky hair.

They were both right in front of my desk and I had not even heard them enter the room. I recognized the pale skin and instantly I knew this had to be part of Edward's family.
"Uh Good morning." I smiled trying to figure out what to do or say next.
"I am Alice and this is my husband Jasper." She pointed to herself then to the hunk next to her.
"Uh nice to meat you."
"We are related to Edward. Sister and brother." She gave a dazzling bright white smile. Did they all have perfect teeth?
My brow furrowed and I stared at them before I blurted out "Neither of you looks anything like him except for the eyes."
"We were all adopted." Alice offers.
Well now, that is just weird. How can they all have the same strange eye color if they are adopted?
Just then Edward's velvety voice spoke. He was standing next to his desk and I didn't even hear him come in. "Alice what are you doing?" he stated sounding rather annoyed with her.
"I just came by to say hi and to let you know that Emmett and Rosalie are already in town for the event."
My eyes widened. Did they know about Edward's party? His lifestyle? Okay there are some things about all of this that is just too weird even for me!
"I just thought we would introduce ourselves considering we will be seeing her at the party."
"Yeah I doubt that highly." He glared at her. "It's more like your trying to weasel your party planning skills into this." He leaned against his desk and crossed his legs at his bare feet. I sat there gaping at his bare chest.

Did this man ever wear a shirt? Wait…why in the hell am I asking that! I should be thanking some deity for the pleasure of the view!
"You know, I am pretty good at planning parties Edward. I don't get why you don't ask me." She crossed her arms over her chest to pout.
"You will be a guest at the party Alice. I am sure that Jasper will agree he would rather have your full attention for the events that will be on display." He smirked nodding at his brother Jasper. Jasper looked down at Alice and winked. "Yes mam. I would certainly need your full attention Mrrrs. Whitlock." I could hear a southern drawl in his words.
My eyebrows shot up in surprise and Edward noticed right away.
"It is not what you think Isabella. My family is pretty close but we aren't that damn close. My path won't cross with any of theirs. We have a tendency to be able to avoid one another at such an event." He smirked and then gave that devil child smile.



"I didddn't sssay anything." I stuttered embarrassed.
He chuckled. "You didn't have to. For once your expression was like an open book." He smiled and winked at me! My god the Edward Cullen wink.
He looked over at his sister his expression changed drastically and he glared again.
"Well thanks for letting me know about my brother and sister's status but I have already talked to Rosalie. She just called and told me to tell you both she will be here in fifteen and to meet her out front. That was ten minutes ago." He nodded at his sister.
Alice squealed. "Oh boy! We are going to that new shop in Hollywood for our outfits. It was really nice meeting you Isabella." Alice said as she pulled on Jasper's arm. He smiled at me and did a gesture as if he was tipping his hat like a good southern gentlemen does. I couldn't help but burst into a blush. And they quickly left.
"I apologize. I warned you she is a little bit freaky." He shook his head looking down.
I just smiled at him.
He met my eyes and said, "Did you have any questions about the note?"
"Actually yeah I sort of did. I am actually a little stunned as I had no idea I was expected to attend this event."
His eyes widened. "Didn't Jessica tell you that part of the job was taking care of the parties?"
"I think I just misunderstood. It's no problem really; the thing is I have never been to anything like this so I am at a loss for what to wear or how to even act."
His expression softened. "I know that Isabella. I fully understand. You are allowed to wear anything you feel comfortable in. Jeans and a T-shirt or you could ask Carmen to help you select something. She already helped me choose the outfits for the girls last night on the phone. She would be able to find something you would be comfortable in wearing. There is only one thing I have to insist upon and it is only for the duration of the party and it is for your safety more than anything." He said hesitantly.
"What is that?"
"I am not sure if you understand what it means to collar someone?"
" Yes I do." I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Yes well at an event as large as this my first priority is to make sure that my girls are safe in their surroundings. Especially their home. That includes you Isabella. I do not want anyone thinking it is acceptable to approach you. I am going to ask that you wear a collar to keep the animals at bay."
I sat there with my mouth hanging open and finally got my bearings again.
"You want me to wear a collar?"
"I promise Isabella it is strictly for your safety. A collared sub is like a brand that says Do Not Approach. You know you are not one of my submissives and that your role at this event will be strictly professional. I just want to make sure that no one interferes in your work or you personal space. It really will ease my worry for you should you and I become separated during the event."

Wait a minute. What does he mean separated? Ask him. No. Ask him. No.

"I have no problem with that. Actually thank you for looking out for me."
He gave me that killer smile.
"Carmen has already received my personalized collars in and she is going to send them home with you this after noon. If you don't mind, should I not be around could you please put the box up in my room?"
"Certainly."
"Great. Any other questions?"
"No actually none at this time but I can call you should something come up?"
"Of course anytime. I also have my final list of those that will be doing scenes. Before you go home tonight, I would like to be able to have you work with me on getting the electronic invitation out since the party will be the following weekend. You may have to work a little later than usual I hope that won't be a problem."
"No not at all I have no plans this weekend. Jessica usually goes to stay with Mike on the weekends. So I have nothing pressing to get home to."
"Great. I will see you after you all return from shopping."
He walked out and I couldn't help but check out his ass as he left the room. Man, those jeans need holes in them. Everywhere.
After I ogled him and drooled all over myself, I went online and ordered all the supplies that each participant would need.
There were eight scenes for demonstration and the remaining two were private scenes due to their graphic nature.
One of the lists he had given me ranged from paper towels to condoms, dental dams to bleach, lubes of all flavors, scents and tons of latex gloves. I couldn't help but giggle at the little note he wrote next to the condoms in parenthesis in his handwriting, (order all sizes even the less endowed guest needs to stay covered.)
After I had spent well over a couple of hours ordering and setting up the deliveries of equipment I got a text from the dry cleaning delivery guy alerting me he was here.
I walked out to the front door, opened it, and happily took all of the items while I handed over the bag that Edward had sitting by the front door to be cleaned.
I headed upstairs and towards Edward's closet to re-hang his clothes.
I found it was really a pain in the ass to do this in here so I used the key he had given me to go into his room to switch them out before I hung them up.
I laid his clothes on the bed and went to grab the hangers when my attention was diverted to the shield that was not visible on the wall. I could see all three screens that were on in the playroom.
This is the moment I decided that Bella Swan was no longer the innocent little personal assistant and had turned into a crazy creepy peeping tomette!
I moved a little closer to the screens to see better and I watched with some twisted fascination. Edward was standing at the head end of a table his hands in his pockets. Heidi was strapped face down on it completely naked. He was still shirtless and his Jeans had the first two buttons undone.

God could he get any fucking sexier.

Tanya had one of the whips that were bundled with a bunch of leather strips on the end. She was whipping Heidi but I noticed her eyes were on Edward watching him and then her eyes would look down at his groin. They would dart back and forth, as she watched him.

Oh my! Now I see what has her so spellbound.

Edward is very, very, very, endowed. The temperature in this room went up another fifteen degrees at least! I fanned my face and looked up at Edward only now I noticed his head turn and look at the wall and his nostrils flared as if he was inhaling something. It didn't take me long to figure out that the wall he was looking at was the one I was on the other side of.
Holy shit! Did he know? He asked if I had worn perfume…but could he really smell me from all the way in the other room? Either way I wasn't going to stand here and debate this!

Get out of here Bella now!

The last thing I wanted to do was being caught. I went over to the bed, grabbed his clothes, and took them into the closet shutting the door as if I was never in his room.
I managed to get the clothes hung up, gathered up the plastic bags to take with me downstairs to dispose of, and walked out of the closet shutting and securing it.
When I turned to head for the stairs, I caught his profile. The playroom doors were opened and he was leaning against the doorjamb with his arms crossed.
He had that look on his face. The one that said "I know a secret" kind of look. Only in my head I heard him saying "I know what you were up to you naughty girl. I caught you."
I smiled at him innocently and tried my damnedest to feign that innocence as I had to walk passed him to get to the stairs. "Dry cleaning is all hung up." I said in my traitor shaky voice.
His brow rose high on one side and he stepped out of the doorway and moved towards me and whispered in my ear, "I never would have taken you for a voyeur Isabella. You continue to surprise and excite me."
I gasped at his words and he chuckled and turned around and went back into the playroom shutting the door.
I wanted to run down the stairs and right out the front door.
How the fuck did he know? Was his nose that sensitive? I could feel the heat just emanating off my face as I rushed downstairs tossed the plastic in the recycle bin and headed for the office. I had my head down the not even looking up when I ran right into the chest of a man so enormous I actually screamed almost falling back on my ass. He caught me before I did though thankfully.
"Whoa! I thought for sure you were going to look up before you actually did. I apologize are you alright?" His dark hair and golden eyes reminded me of Alice. He had to be another Cullen.
"I uh am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"That's alright sweetheart I take full responsibility. My name is Emmett and I take it you're the cutie that now works for my lazy ass brother Edward." He holds his hand out for me to shake and he smiles flashing what had to be the most adorable dimples I had ever seen on a grown man. He looked like a little boy in the body of a body builder. Hell, his size mirrored Jacobs.

"Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella." I shook his hand that reminded me of a bear paw and noted it too was cold. So weird!
"Well little Miss Bella it is a pleasure to meet you."
I couldn't help but smile at this guy he was lovable from the start. I started to walk around and back to the office and made it to my desk sitting down sort of out of breath.
"So Miss Bella I bet it sucks working for my lazy ass brother." He smiled.
"Uh actually no I love the job so far and Mr. Cullen is a great Boss."
"Please don't tell me that fucker makes you call him Mr. Cullen." He says as his eyes narrow.
Edward's velvet voice interrupts us as he strolls in the office.
"What the hell is it with my family just waltzing in to my home and bugging the hell out of my PA?" He glares at Emmett as he makes his way to his desk and flops down in his chair.
Still shirtless.

Thank you God, Santa Clause, and the tooth fairy.

Over the course of the next half hour I sit here and try to work while Edward and his brother Emmett banter back and forth about some business deal that had Emmett all excited about.
"It would be an epic investment man you know this! Come on I already convinced Jasper and Carlisle to go in on it and they agreed only if you would otherwise they are going to pull out."
"Damn Em what the hell do I look like? I don't know jack shit about football."
"You don't have to little bro. You just gotta hand over the dough and give us a little constructive criticism and some help with the stadium plans and we all will be standing in line at the bank in three years cashing in!"
Edward chuckled and said, "I have never stood in line once at my bank, I certainly don't plan on starting now." Edward let out a loud laugh.
"You know what the hell I mean! Come on Edward. Okay fine…if you do this I am forfeiting my right to choose the name of the team. I will let you pick it out. What do you say little brother?"
"Wow you really do want me to invest in this. Hey Isabella, come here for a second I need a second opinion." I turned and looked at him; he smiled and waved me over. "Have a seat next to my big dope of a brother."
I got up, walked over, and definitely felt the heat rush to my cheeks as both of their eyes wandered down the length of my legs.

Damn Victoria and her short skirts!

"Uh ok." I said as I sat down, their eyes watched my legs cross, and I swear they both shared a look.
"Tell her Em. If she says she would go for it then I will do it." He said leaning back in his chair putting his hands behind his head and turning to face me. My eyes couldn't help but go to the two undone buttons of his jeans. I blushed yet again and drew my eyes too slowly away from Edward to look at Emmett.
"Okay question first….how long have you lived in LA?"
"Two years."
"So you're fully aware that Los Angeles does not have a football team?"
"Uh yeah actually I am. My father complained about that when I moved here."
"Oh really?" Emmett turned to Edward and gave him one of those looks that say "see I told you so!" He turned back and said, "What did your daddy tell you?"
I shrugged going in to how I don't really pay much attention to my father's rambling about anything sports related and I could feel Edward's eyes burning into me.
"So basically he most likely said "What the hell is wrong with LA that they don't have a football team?"
I laughed. "Yeah that pretty much sums it up."
"Ok so keep that in mind now…what if I told you I needed you to invest some money to help me find a piece of land in this city and build a stadium and round up a team, if you had the money would you do it?" He had this look on his face of pure hope and there was no way I was going to say no to that face.
"Sure if I was loaded I would do it. I mean it would make a fortune." Before I knew it, I was now being swung around and held up off the ground in his bear hug.
"Bella you are my new best friend!" he swings me around and I can feel my skirt fly up as his arms are gripped on my waist.
"Put her down Emmett!" Edward says as I see a blur of his silhouette go by as Emmett spins me. Then I hear his breath hitch and the faint words fall from his lips.
"Holy fucking hell…kill me now."
"Sorry Bella!" Emmett says setting me down and kissing me on top of the head.
Edward looks even paler than he did.
Emmett walks over and rubs his hands over Edward's head ruffling his hair. "We are going to own the Los Angeles football team! Woo Hoo!"
Edward laughs with him and I can't help but smile.
I suddenly realize how much it sucked growing up an only kid. Edward's family seems like an awesome family to be a member of and for a moment, I am jealous.
I stand up and turn to walk back to my desk but I met with Edward's gaze and he looked at me as if he knew something was wrong.
"You ok Miss Swan?" I smiled and nodded.
Just then, Tanya, Charlotte, and Heidi walked in all dressed in little red matching sundresses and sandals.
"Emmy!" Tanya yells and launches herself at him to hug him. I almost started laughing when I noticed that look of fear on his face.
"Hey Tanya. You know better than to hug me when Rosalie is due here any minute woman! Are you trying to get me in trouble!" He moves away from her.
"Oh brother…she is the most beautiful person in the world! I certainly can't compete with that!"
I am sitting there watching the three girls talk to Emmett and look over at Edward. His eyes are alight and he is gazing at me with an expression of what I interpret as desire. I can't help but blush and look away quickly. Laurent comes in to announce he is ready to go.
Edward stands up and says "Drive safely with them please Laurent."
"Yes Sir Mr. Cullen. I always do."
I grab my purse and head out for what has to be the strangest experience of my life to date. Shopping with three submissives for a masquerade play party.
Now that is a job you won't find listed in the want ads!
