We Make Our Own Rules

by Rob Matthews

Overview

‘Tina had never questioned her sexuality. She’d started dating boys at an early age and never looked back—except in our fantasies.’ In the beginning, there was married couple Rob and Tina, trying to navigate the rules of the cuckold universe. After they befriended another cuckold/hotwife couple, Ben and Emma, things grew more complicated. Two years after their odyssey began, Adam, a stud who is eerily perceptive and vague on the details of his background, threatens to take Rob’s place in Tina’s heart as well as her bed. When Rob hears Tina refer to her husbands, plural, and Adam orchestrates the increasing involvement of Ben and Emma in their cuckold games, Rob can’t shake the feeling that lines have been crossed and rules broken. Part of him misses their earlier cuckold adventures when, no matter what scenario played out, at the end of the day it was just Rob and Tina and their dog, Boris. But when Rob meets sexy young goth, Charlotte, he's tempted to redefine the rules himself. Or is Charlotte more interested in showing Tina a whole new path for a cuckoldress to go down? A Cuckold Odyssey, Book 3.

Read an Excerpt

‘So if I understand what you’re both saying,’ he said, turning back to Tina, ‘you find it easier to explore the darker areas of your sexuality with someone other than Rob, because Rob loves you?’

She took a moment to consider this, then nodded. ‘Yes, that’s right. When Adam uses his fingernail to scratch the word “WHORE” into my ass, I feel like he means it. Rob would write, “WHORE but you’re not really—you’re the love of my life.” And I’m not sure you can fit all that on my butt.’

He leaned back in his chair with the triumphant look of a prosecutor who’s found the weak point in the defense. ‘In that case, why would you fall in love with Adam? It goes against what you say you want.’

Tina sighed and threw up her hands. ‘I suffer from a psychological condition called being human. We don’t always get to decide who we fall in love with.’

‘If you find yourself equally in love with both men, won’t you find it equally hard to experiment?’

This was Tina’s opportunity to say, ‘Equally in love? Impossible! No one could ever equal Rob, my king amongst men.’ But she didn’t. What she said was, ‘That’s one of the problems.’

‘So wouldn’t it make sense to back off from Adam? Focus on Rob for a while.’

I liked this idea and nodded approvingly, but she gave him one of her wicked looks. ‘When Adam rips my underwear and tells me he’d rather be with my friend, it feels so … wrong!’

I didn’t think the word “wrong” had ever been spoken in such a positive way.

‘Let’s try an experiment,’ he said. ‘Rob, tell Tina in what ways Emma is better than her.’

My brain froze. ‘I suppose,’ I faltered, ‘Emma’s slimmer.’

‘And that makes Emma sexier?’ he prompted.

‘Not for me,’ I said. ‘I prefer Tina’s womanly body any day.’

He shook his head and looked disappointed. ‘Is Emma prettier than Tina?’

Feeling uncomfortable, I rubbed my hands together. ‘Emma’s pretty, sure. She’s got glossy black hair, dark brown eyes, and a cute little bump on the bridge of her nose.’

‘You obviously find her attractive.’

‘He does, doesn’t he?’ said Tina, looking at me sourly.

I added quickly, ‘But Tina’s very attractive too. She’s got a great body and a beautiful face. She’s gorgeous.’

Tina smiled and nodded as if I’d redeemed myself. He just said, ‘I see what you mean. You’re not very good at insulting her. Let me try.’ He turned to Tina, and said with professional detachment, ‘Tina, you’re an old slut next to Emma.’

Tina tried to look outraged, but her pupils dilated and she opened her mouth slightly, running her tongue along her top lip.

Editorial Reviews

There are a few erotica authors whom I try to keep a close eye on. I wait eagerly for their next work to come out because I know it is going to be outstanding. One of those authors is Rob Matthews and this week I'll be giving you my thoughts on his latest book in the Cuckold Odyssey series- We Make Our Own Rules.

This is the continuing story of Rob and Tina, a married couple who have been practicing cuckoldry for some time. As Tina's relationship with Adam, the man she had begun a relationship with in Book Two of the series, becomes more serious Rob finds it all becoming a bit more than he is comfortable with. Rob was fine with Tina having a lover, but not with her actually being in love with another man. Also added into the mix is a bit of power exchange as Tina and Adam begin dominating Rob a bit both in and out of the bedroom; Rob finds himself conflicted about this new element of their relationship. The story goes much deeper and Rob begins to suspect that Adam is the puppet master pulling their strings, but to what end?

One thing I truly love about Mr Matthews books is that not only is he a terrific writer of erotica, he is also a fantastic story teller. When I pick up one of his books I know it's going to be hot and sexy, but what is even better is that I know he is going to tell me a great story. I know he is going to create characters who have depth and complexity; characters that I will care about, love, or even hate. His stories are interesting and entertaining as well as being steamy, and We Make Our Own Rules does not disappoint in any way.

The chemistry between the characters in all the Cuckold Odyssey books is great, but I really thought that this book takes it to the next level. The interactions between Rob, Tina, and Adam are just written so naturally and bring a level of realism to the story that makes it something special. There is a new character introduced in this book, Charlotte, whom I love and I hope will we be getting to know her even better in the future.

As I mentioned above, there is a level of realism to all three books in this series that is really special and that makes these stories hotter than most in this genre. Mr Matthews has a way of conveying the cuckold's emotional experience through his writing that allows the reader to almost be a part of the experience. I think that this line from We Make Our Own Rules is an excellent example of this:

"I was angry, hurt, and turned on. Life as a cuckold had taught me that it was perfectly possible to be all three at the same time."

I just love that because it is so true, that is the experience and perhaps even the essence of being a cuckold, and Mr Matthews captures those feelings and experiences so well with his writing.

I'm giving We Make Our Own Rules five out of five paddles. I highly recommend this book to cuckold/hotwife fans as well as those fans of bdsm/femdom erotica.

I Can Do It Better: “Yes, a thousand times yes. I love it when a book goes all mental like that, from the point of view of a character (with a little insight from the writer), and we go deep down the rabbit hole inside someone’s head[….] I dropped right into this book like a comfortable chaise lounge, never getting lost, and never needing to read the book one – and that is the hallmark of a writer who knows how to pick up on a story while keeping a newcomer perfectly informed, and also very nice work[….] Recommended strongly for those wishing to dive deep into the hows and whys of cuckolding.”
