Reza's Game
I loved writing this newest chapter of Jonny, Charlie, and Reza. It's the biggest Reza book at almost 40k words, and full of Reza craziness.
Jonny thinks he knows games, but he's never played against a man like Reza ...

Oh shit you enjoy dropping these oblique clues on us don't you? Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteKT, do the assembled multitudes need to know that Charlie has been traveling to exotic locales (and cheating on Reza!)?
ReplyDeleteThat's for you to decide! Maybe she wants to keep that under her hat (Reza's probably a vengeful man). Who knows?—she might be grateful :eyebrow-wriggle:
DeleteLol, why does KT have to be so good at writing that her riddles make me anxious ...
ReplyDeleteNobody's head is in the box!

DeleteWelp! Can't say I wasn't expecting it to go in this direction. A few more delays and loans here and there and Genesis'll be tattooing "Reza's Toy" over Charlie's crotch.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I know I usually say that I prefer and look forward to the standalone stories most (and I do) but this chapter does such a good job of opening the story up in fresh ways instead of retreading. Amazing job!
PS still looking forward to Happy Endings with bated breath (along with the rest of that 2018 hopefuls list from awhile back)!
Thank you! Reza's amazing me, even, at how deeper he can lure them into his trap and they don't realize the consequences. Charlie sure is banking on Jonny's abilities! Or does she enjoy her subjugation?
DeleteHappy Endings is getting polished off. I really love the characters in this one, but shit it is going long. It might have to be a series. I love the characters enough to put more work into it too. It won't be too long. Maybe four books. I really do appreciate everyone on this blog's feedback, and feed (feeeed!) off it. HE is going so long but I feel like it needs the conjecture and analysis I love from you all to float it up, help me narrow in on character and suspense and the things you all love. But I still haven't decided what to do with it yet.
Hey now! Is every book gonna become a series? haha. Just kidding follow your muse.
DeleteI do hope you still get around to some of those other stories. The sorority ones sounded interesting, but especially the one with the husband being bullied. Again, personal taste but I find those dynamics more powerful when the wife is drawn to this other person despite (justified) negative feelings her husband has specifically for that dude.
KT, if you don't mind our opinions on this. For HE, I would absolutely love to see a completely uninfluenced story from beginning to end that is essentially a full-series. This is of course coming from a place that wants all the stories I can handle from you, but I also think it would be really great to see that! I don't want that to come across as if your stories were ever influenced by your audience to some large degree, but I know you've said in the past (and allude to this above) that we play a part. Really appreciate that, and maybe that's what you'll always want from us in every big series, but on the bright side you already know what we want anyways, ha.
DeleteIt probably makes for less interesting blogs too, which would be drag too.
HE is going to be one book. I forgot about all the reasons I didn't do it as a series of shorts already. The book doesn't lend itself to serialization. It is one journey, albeit a long one.
DeleteI absolutely cannot wait.
DeleteReally loved this one... Not a huge girl on girl fan but the ending was probably the hottest scene of the book. Can't wait to read the sequel!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff! Yes, a lot of new territory for me here. After so many books I feel the need to push a little outward and see what else I can bring into the stories. The cage is so fascinating and it was, as Glaucon said, inevitable—though when I first started Jonny and Charlie I didn't intend it. I love it though and it fits the story perfectly (and Jonny too, ha ha). It pushes the divide with Jonny and Charlie so it's not just Jonny watching and hating Reza, yet secretly loving it. Now Jonny is being pushed and stretched and challenged just like his wife.
Deleteso looking forward to the sequel! Can't wait to see what the next book will bring... :)
DeleteI'm not a huge fan of girl on girl either (within this genre), however in this case, I see this as more of Reza exerting control over Charlie as the driver. So for that reason, this scene makes sense.
DeleteWas in Rio de Janeiro a couple of weeks back and taking the metro back from downtown with my wife. “Charlie” got on a couple of stops after us with her boy toy dreadlocked beach kid.
ReplyDeleteAmerican, mid-20s - check
Ginger hair - check
fish-belly white skin - check
Very attractive face and good figure - check
Boy toy cute and not older than 20 - check
Boy toy does not appear to speak much English - check
Charlie wearing very short dress with thin fabric and almost transparent - check
Pose and posture sitting on floor of car (there's a lot of floor space on the Rio Metro) confirms absence of foundation garments - check
Flip flops only other article of clothing - check
Does not care that anyone can see everything - check
Hanging all over boy toy - check
Wife and discussed the story behind the couple, decided they were kicked out of previous hotel for making too much noise (she had her luggage with her) and they got off the Metro in a section of low end hotels between Copacabana and Ipanema. I have not told wife about Charlie yet.
Now that I think about it, it could actually be Kate disguised as Charlie.
Never know what you’re going to see here, but skin and sex certainly have seats at the table always.
Is this how Charlie ends up? In Brazil with boy toys, sitting on the Metro floor with no panties? What about Reza and his money? No Bentley escort to take her to the beach? Ah, perhaps she's fled Reza and Jonny, but is still addicted to a certain male type, hiding out now in Brazil but can't hide from her lust...
DeleteI like it.
I enjoyed playing out Donk's scenario too.
DeleteGreat new chapter...things have picked up and are only going to get harder from here for Jonny.
ReplyDeleteI’m generally not a fan of the cuckold stories that go to “caging”....guess I just don’t get it myself. But it makes sense that Reza would force it there. He probably gets just as much pleasure from torturing Jonny, so the idea he’s enjoying it would be something he’d want to put an end to.
I like the idea that we don’t see Charlie’s POV and that everything is through Jonny. I typically don’t like that, but here I like the total unknown of just how much Charlie is enjoying her time with Reza. I think Jonny is right to be worried...but I also think she clearly still loves him too. But I would finish your work quick Jonny.
Chastity is a tough one that I happen to like. All to often though it seems like a number of writers don't write it in very well. This was not the case with this one where the transition made complete sense. I prefer the wife's pov to be a mystery in these types of stories, keep the hubby guessing is pretty exciting for me.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI agree Jeff. Very well worded.
DeleteI feel like most author's assume that the chastity cages are implied and should happen automatically, and the hubby and wife are fully on board with the concept. I love that KT showed the conditions which made this actually part of their life. It makes me care about something I don't like in these types of stories, a lot more. I especially enjoy that it comes from a place of malice, as I said below, from Reza and not from the choice of the couple. It seems that the cuckold storyline in most stories of couples, even ones where they develop into that type of relationship, they miraculously settle on "hey, maybe I should buy a cage that should hold your genitals." Somehow a deeply psychological concept like a cuckold relationship that could manifest itself in the behavior of a couple in countless ways, always falls into specific activities and accessories *Yawn.* So cheers to this author for making me actually enjoy that aspect in this story.
DeleteThis book is 5 hot chili peppers out of 5. OMG! KT, you've brought something out in ME that I didn't know that I even was so turned on by. Like many fans of your work, I obviously have a major turn on when it comes to the angst of being a cuckold and the whole hot wife lifestyle in general. But this story has amplified that even more. The domination. This is almost a "consensual blackmail". The chastity! I just had no idea how much more these components "supplement" this genre even more with ME. Once again... AMAZING work KT. Nobody gets this genre like you. Nobody writes it as well as you. Nobody understands the psychology as well as you. I have thoroughly enjoyed your work, but this one is my favorite so far and I can't WAIT for the next installment. BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, well thank you! That is one heck of an endorsement!
DeleteYes, "consensual blackmail" is crazy hot for some reason. Like a situation that would have never happened naturally because of moral standards that's forced through something like blackmail. Then, in the heat of the moment, you question whether it was ever forced at all.
DeleteI agree, WA!
DeleteThe Increasingly Poor Decisions of Charlie and Jonny
ReplyDelete(Anyone David Cross fans?)
Ok, obligatory praise to an absolutely amazing story thus far to my favorite author. These stories are positively dripping with psychology and emotion, it is a personal obsession and I will never ever get tired of these stories, it has become glaringly obvious to me that I am forever hooked to this author.
That said here are my thoughts.
I am just not into this kind of story. I find it so far past the point of believeability that it has stopped affecting me like I know this author can. Individually, the things that happen in this story are absolutely plausible, and maybe that's where KT draws inspiration to make this story happen. I know she has said that this story is outlandish, but only juuust believable. Sure, but where she hits hardest is when I can picture exactly what happens coming true.
Here's Reza in a nutshell -
Reza has an obsession with Charlie, he is willing to, at first, wait until the first of the month to carry out his obsession. Now, because you see, he really likes her, he just needs to convince her to leave Jonny, slowly but surely. Moneybags will fuck his way into Charlie's heart, then peripherally start carving out an alternative life of partying, lavishness, and sexual liberation, while subjugating her husband because of his debts. Now he's becoming opportunistic using Charlie's family? I just don't buy Reza, but I still enjoy the story when he shows this weird soft side for Charlie. For whatever reason, that does something for me.
Now if we find out Charlie's father's baler incident was not an accident ...
I think the strength of this story thus far is Jonny and Charlie's love for each other, but for god sake, can Charlie let her hair down? This whole, looking over her shoulder because she doesn't want to like it is sad and for the most part that's all we get to see! Get yours, Charlie! I was expecting this chapter to be the start of the seismic shift for Charlie, but it looks I'll still be waiting for it for the next book.
I love KT's ancillary character inclusion, but how they act adds to the unbelieveability of it. Demetrius kind of buddy buddy with Jonny, but this big dude that does what Reza says and ultimately doesn't care? Tate, this cute big guy that is really nice to Charlie, won't disrespect her even though Reza wants Charlie to do what he offers. By the way, they all have large penises. And Genesis, who is what, a tattoo artist? Somehow dirty and sweet simultaneously. I enjoy the writing, I could not even begin to touch the detail this author just coughs out without another thought given, I just don't get off on these larger than life people.
Finally, did I just get cucked as a reader? By way of erotica story writing conventions? Structurally, most authors save the end of their story for a main event, but instead, we ended up with our characters leaving us high and dry. That's pretty deep, KT.
Always appreciate your comments and insight TB=TH. We're both huge fans of KT and we're on the same team here. Although I don't post often, I'm compelled to as I don't want to discourage KT from continuing with her BEST work yet. We are definitely, definitely on opposite ends of the spectrum on this story. I respectively and completely disagree with you. I , too have loved all of KT's work. But for me, this is her BEST.
ReplyDeletePast believably? Go back to ANY of KT's stories and you could pick out any decision made by our protagonists along their journey and one could argue that would never happen. They all have large penises, lol? Uh, yeah!!! Who wants to read stories about Bulls and other men tempting our hot wife heroines with small, average penises? Who is Genesis? Genesis is exactly the type of woman that Reza would frequently hang out with. You think an equal to Charlie would be with Reza ? We ended up with our characters leaving us high and dry? For reals? How about it left us CRAVING more? Hard as a rock? Wondering what will happen next? How much farther Reza push them? Please don't feel this is a personal attack on you or your opinion, it is not. Just stating the reasons I don't agree...And for the rest of us who LOVED the story and in the spirit of discussing what might happen next... lets' start with a few thoughts:
Tate! Charlie obviously has an attraction to him. He is very good looking, respectful to Charlie (in the sense he hasn't tried to take advantage of her when he could), which I think she also finds attractive.
Genesis! Although I'm not big into girl on girl when i'm reading this genre, as I stated in a separate post, i felt this was more about the CONTROL that Reza has on Charlie and how far she is willing to go to please him. What this did make me start wondering (fantasizing) about is whether Charlie will also get pierced or tattooed on Reza's request (hot!).
Jonny! Jonny is so conflicted. He (and I) love what she is putting him through. He gets so hard and turned on when she's hotwifing, but then panics when he has opportunities to perform. Not that he is caged, he's going to strain even more EVERY time he sees and hears Charlie succumbing to Reza. This added control that Reza has now exerted over BOTH of them is new to KT's work and I am absolutely enthralled.
Lastly... Charlie's mom. Will her mom (or dad?) find out about this arrangement? This is a VERY common concern or dilemma in the Cuckold/Hotwife lifestyle Do you share these desires with friends or family? Or not?
Would love others thoughts and insight. And I'm counting down the days until the next installment. Hopefully this will be another saga with MANY stories to come....
No one is discouraging KT here.
DeleteI'll freely admit (and have before) that where I draw a line of believability is at a point of my own personal arbitration, it doesn't make mine right or even interesting. You focused on the one thought I cared least about, large male appendages, as if that's what my main point was. If they're all big, that's good for reading. I want to read about women who like them, mostly because I want a physical manifestation of sexual prowess to give my simple mind a point of comparison. If a girl only gets her rocks off to cunnilingus, well that'd be more realistic than not and boring because hey, anyone could do that if they tried.
No, I'm talking about the personalities of KT's characters (Charlie and Jonny aside, whom I totally am onboard with) being larger than life. In particular, Reza is just too perfectly evil for me.
It's definitely just a matter of taste. I don't like chastity cages for instance (though I did love how KT executed this). I feel like most every author chooses the wife to make that choice with the husband right there with her, this story it's not really the husband's choice and Reza is doing it out of malice. I thoroughly enjoy Charlie's rationalizations of it too.
I've said this before, KT's greatest asset is her ability to skirt a beautiful line between fantasy and reality, I just think she's gone too far into fantasy for my tastes.
Finally, it's entirely possible that my reaction is rooted on being frustrated there was no major piece of action right at the end. I would not put that past my reptilian brain and it's rationalizations. Kidding, but then again how could I know that?
Sorry, I have little time to comment ATM, but I'll jump in soon—but wanted to point out that Charlie having sex didn't work for me at the end of the book. I took my time with this and thought about Charlie's state of mind here. After the close call with her mother, sex was the last thing on her schedule. Which was why Reza would think it was a perfect moment for him to have her slip a cage on Jonny. Like it would slow things down, which was where her feelings were. Even Reza knows to give this woman a day or two before she's ready again. Her mother almost caught wind of her decrepitude, for cryin' out loud.
DeleteI've already worked into the next episode, and believe me, Reza knows how to build her back up again. It's a few days later and they're at the lawyer's office ...
And cages aren't that new to me—Remember Becky and Steve in Obsessed? Man, I loved that couple. They were ancillary and maybe a little extreme but I did enjoy them. Maybe I need a more extreme pen name. Like Becky Castro. Keep this stuff separate ...
DeleteI think the cage stuff was written well and made sense in the story. I don't have any issues with bringing it in; clearly its a big part of many cuckolds' lifestyles. Like I said, its just not for me.
DeleteI seriously don't care that KT ended the story with no big finish, there I said it.
DeleteBecky Castro, lol! OH yes KT, we remember Becky and Steve from Obsessed. :) "It's a few days later and they're at the lawyers office"? Hmmm... what ? What's in the box KT!!!
DeleteThe 14th and the 28th are going to be interesting days for Jonny. When he gets out, how long does he last? Or can he even perform at all? Maybe Reza let's him out, but keeps Charlie occupied? And what about the key to the cage? Who keeps it? Charlie on a necklace or around an anklet? OR Reza?
An absolute bottom-of-my-heart thank you to whoever (you know who you are!) left reviews for me. I can't thank you enough. It really does great things for me. Every time one of you is moved to leave a good an honest review it makes my day easier. Refreshing my browser creates a dread, worry that I'm going to see I've been hit by a crank with something mean. I still get them (Amazon seems to remove the baddest ones) but every time you lend your voice it lessens theirs. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou've earned any positive reviews that you get.
DeleteAlso as a side note it's annoying when people write reviews with low ratings clearly because they simply don't enjoy the subject matter.
I'm not sure if my reviews are as beneficial to you... they only seem to publish on the .ca site.
DeleteThat's a weird quirk, I can understand different languages needing different review lists, but different countries with the same dominant language?
DeleteYeah it's funny, the Canadian site displays the US reviews, but not vice versa. I imagine it stems from them viewing the Canadian market as peripheral.
DeleteI just submitted my first ever Amazon book review! Well deserved KT.
DeleteGlaucon - maybe Amazon is just convinced Americans won't care about Canadian opinions? That's rude!
DeleteMostly correct too.
There my obligatory Canada joke on this blog for the week.
That is frustrating, re: foreign stores not offering up their reviews on to the .com. I'm not even notified of them, so I don't know they exist, unfortunately. Thank you for your reviews, to all who've posted on their AMZ marketplaces. I have to go to those markets and check my products to see if there's reviews I haven't read, but now the foreign markets have the .com reviews propagating on them so it's almost impossible to know when I've had a new review.
DeleteAnd thank you, Lancer! I really do appreciate it...
Wow what an installlment..! I feel like I'm indebt to KT now. KT really knows how to turn a tale (or a tail).
ReplyDeleteI was thinking right when reza was getting charlie to cage Johnny. What if johnny agrees to all but in a counter move gets MIL to ask for charlie to go back to the farm for awhile..and do it right in front of reza throw in alot of your dad needs help and the money is only part of it the chickens need fed and cows needs a milking.... kind of blow up Reza plan even for a month...it would have been a small victory but a victory none the less.
Well im good and hooked i gotta find out whether charlie is gonna walk away or johnny is gonna become the booming success hes hoping for and keep the bride..one thing is for sure pandoras box has been opened. Theres no going back for these two. At keast no way i see.
Johnny is embracing his cuck side and charlie IS enjoying the sex. So going back to vanila i dont see as an option..
I dont think charlie will fall in love with reza or leave johnny for reza but She may for tate who could be the knight in shinning armor for her.
Ooowwweeee the possibilities.
Screw that. Tired of the wife leaving husband for better man story. Ruins the genre for me to the point of not wanting to come back.
DeleteJeff B - then read Kenny Wright, Kirsten McCurran, Ben Boswell (most of the time), Max Sebastian, Matthew Lee, literally just about every other fucking author in this genre and stop influencing the one author that might actually give some variety to it.
DeleteSo sick of seeing this opinion like she's the norm.
Also see Jason Lenov, Arnica Butler, Shalamara Jax ...
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteShit, yes sorry. I'm still smarting from our prior interactions here, and I see similar sentiments in the past. I guess I take issue to the "screw that" wording, as if you're saying how dare John say that and ruin the story you want.
DeleteI can appreciate that you want KT to right a good ending story with her writing quality. It exists, i won't tell you which story though because you know, that would ruin it.
well that is all up to her as the writer. I don't tend to enjoy the stories with a ton of drama and less sex. Maybe you do though.
DeleteOh btw I love all the authors you mentioned ToBe. They all have unique ability within the genre and not all of their stories are great, yet I love quite a few of them.
DeleteEmotional reaction to your comment aside, what I'm saying is why make that "tired of seeing the wife leave for the better man" point with no other commentary? I could understand you working out a hypothetical that makes that ending happen, and that makes for interesting conversation on here. If all people do is come on here and say, "I don't like that!" It urks me to no end. To me it's just lobbying when you throw out comments like that.
DeleteYou might argue what I say below is lobbying too and you're right to look at it that way, but I've spent months (almost two years) on this blog just reacting to her stories (i.e. letting her tell her story without saying anything that comes close to 'this better end good'!), and what I wrote up is a realization that I had and put it within the context of the current story.
It can go that way. Not the sort of ending I want, I usually end up visualizing the sort of endings I like anyway. Endings are probably the hardest things to write in my opinion because they are so subjective on what's good and what isn't. Sometimes this sort of thing can make or break a beautiful story. Anyway it's a little too early (I think she mentioned she had two more books in this series planned) to know what will happen or not.
DeleteThe possibility that charlie and johnny end up happily ever after is still here. Its the tortuous journey thats gonna get us there one way or another. As ive said before dont care who ends up with who as long as the progression makes sense..
DeleteThese two charactors honestly love each other, as of now. Will Reza seperate them and do like he said.. johnny gets divorce papers in the mail. Or will charlie play the game convincingly enough(and love every minute of it) until johnny succeeds either in 6 months or six years. When they are finally released from rezas grasp they go back to being loving married couple with some added spice in their future. Im sticking to find out where KT goes with it.
I'm belaboring the point, but I have an example of a newly released story, and I don't want to call this author out by name, but for discussion purposes, they are an excellent writer in the genre.
DeleteThere is a line in the description that says the following, paraphrasing:
"will (female character) lose herself in the lifestyle or will (male protagonist) be able to win her back over?"
I know how this author works, and how just about every quality author works. This book is going to only end one way.
With KT, I legitimately do not know the answer to that question and have to read the story to find out. Yes it means I may be disappointed with the outcome, but I'll never grow tired of the suspense that leads up to it.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteTotally agree with that 2b2h. Nothing gets me more dissappointed in a preview than that same bat question on that same bat channel with the same bat answer.."will the marriage survive?"and invariable the answer is yes. Although it does help me choose the stories i decide to read ......or not.
DeleteOf this story if charlie and johnny continue to change they may no longer be suitable for one another. Than again Charlie.maybe just playing along cuz johnny likes it. So the not knowing will draw me back for the conclusion.
Still wasnt sure about nia either.
And Jess really had/has me in a tizzy. I understand her to a degree but she really put pete via tyler thru hell.
Endings are tough. I try and stay true to the characters, and sometimes events that have happened make the ending inevitable. And if I don't punch you in the stomach every once in a while how afraid will you be when I threaten I might punch you in the stomach?
DeleteI just have a great appreciation for the range that you write with, KT. Sometimes people can be harsh when they don't like how a story goes, especially so with dark endings (I'm sure the reverse as well sometimes). That just makes me appreciate that more, you're writing for the story more than for the reader. I am so glad I have a catalog of stories that excites me still to this day because of how well they were written.
DeleteSome authors follow a pattern: the setup, the action and immediate consequences, then the abrupt realization that everything is right in the world now. Sometimes the setups are brilliant but the endings are predictable. These are nice to read too because sometimes I don't want to get punched in the stomach.. But when that third act happens and all the pressure deflates, the stories lose some cohesion sometimes. I'm just happy there's a variety.
DeleteChiming in for the first time ever on KT's blog. Very nervous that I won't live up to the high standards that are always set here! Anyway, my two bits is I absolutely agree with KT. There has to be a legitimate threat of the marriage/relationship being, if not destroyed, at least ended with very bad pain being felt by at least one partner. And to be legitimate, it has to happen sometimes.
DeleteI tend to like a happy ending. But not at the expense of narrative sense.
@ Dale....Couldnt agree more....
DeleteAns welcome to the club..!
Wow what an installlment..! I feel like I'm indebt to KT now. KT really knows how to turn a tale (or a tail).

I can't see Charlie leaving Jonny for Reza either. However, Reza is responsible for several changes in their relationship. First, Charlie now knows how a big cock makes her feel. She had never experienced that with Jonny and it has forever changed her. She knows she needs that in her life now. She also has become well aware of what turns Jonny on; watching her with Reza, telling him how small he is, telling him how Reza makes her feel, and she knows that Reza struggles to stay hard when he isn't being cucked. You're right John, Tate just may be the knight in shinning armor.
DeleteUpdate bar! Happy Endings!

DeleteCouple more thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI don't want people to think I DON'T like this story, I do like it a lot. If no other KT work existed and KT entered the world of writing with this story, it'd probably be my favorite thing that Amazon had to offer. My issue is that I don't like this as much her other stories. I don't think it's because she's going too far away from her conventional style and should therefore consider a different pseudonym for it, but I would say that the usual play with exaggerated realities that I think KT likes to play with is taken to an extreme in this one ...
I can't believe the depraved depths of creativity this author has. Dirty note alert - Storing Reza's contents under his foreskin before taking it all in her mouth? Who thinks of this shit? Bravo.
To be clear, I liked Genesis, I really did. There's absolutely no question in my mind that KT can make a girl-girl scene work (enjoyed Maggie and Keely), but one of the biggest draws to a love scene from KT is when it involves characters with whom we have developed an understanding, in my opinion. That's where the heart races in my KT readings. To me, I read that scene with Genesis and say, "Who are you, and why are you such a party to Reza and Charlie's lovemaking?" I understand that Reza is just trying to grow the wedge between Charlie and Jonny in this moment, showing him the completely different life she might have if she went with Reza and that's the take away from that scene, but I'm not a fan of the tag team approach. Reza is in charge until he taps you on the shoulder, then Tate, Demetrius, now Genesis gets their turn and they're all in.
Admittedly, that's my bias. I want prior relationships between the wife character and whoever she is with. That's why I like the best friend concept, the ex-boyfriend concept, or roommate of the boyfriend concept, and I'm sure I could produce some analogous girl-girl parallels. I want a connection that's deeper than surface level attraction. I know that there is a huge space for the "stranger" or otherwise mysterious hook-up, so there's other people to please, but that's why I think we're drawn to how many words KT writes, and not interested on a blog for a writer churning out 20 pagers for a living.
I absolutely love Charlie and Jonny's relationship too. I find it sweet, strangely complicated, and full of holes that could realistically exist in any relationship. She is masterful at juuust coming short of healthy couple communication, building into the story the justifications for why they won't communicate without making it obvious or trite, and making the fact that they can't seem to get on the same page one of the central conflicts of her stories. Keeps the engine revved for me.
To John C - I also doubt that there could possibly be a future between Reza and Charlie, though he does have a soft spot for her. What Reza is doing to Jonny, and to Charlie by not letting her be fully committed to their lovemaking before engaging in it, which is fucked up anyway you slice it, will not make for a good start to a serious relationship. Even if Charlie were to believe Reza's rationale behind everything he's doing.
If KT gets Tate involved in this story seriously, then I would like some time devoted to getting to know him and they to each other, again that's just my thing ... I want to know what makes Tate so special to Charlie.
why does every story have to have some intense emotional connection? Seems like nothing can be fun and playful and it always has to go over the top.
DeleteYou basically want to turn this into another Maggie series, hope it doesn't turn into that.
DeleteYeah I don't want anything easy.
DeleteAnd by the way, way to Strawman my point. I don't want her to turn this story into Maggie, it couldn't possibly be that story anyways.
Delete@2b2h i get what you are saying about genesis. But i think the name says it all its the begining of something big reza has planned for charlie. Genesis is just a plot device to get her there. Reza's new home may just be a bordello and charlie the E- ticket ride. In anycase the erosion of the marriage is Rezas goal and the only thing in hisnway maybe Tate who seems a nice guy..maybe. I agree we need to know more about him. Was he earnest with charlie and the JO or was he part of the test....
DeleteWhatever ending is decided I want to see more torment from Charlie... Such as dresssing more provacatively. Maybe Reza orders Charlie to give Johnny a lap dance (heh). Maybe Charlie ends up giving the key to Reza. Either way can't wait to see what is next. That and you mentioned another list of what is due? Happy Endings?
ReplyDeleteSince we dont know what Genesis is (she seems well versed in the sexual arts). That leaves alot open. Will she be taking Charlie on shopping trips in the future? Shopping for slutwear and drugs. Ending up with them giving bjs at the club.
DeleteDoes reza actually value the work Johnny is doing and this is all setup to get his fingers more deeply into a future johnny games inc.
Theres alot going on behind the scenes that we arent aware of. The MIL card was partucularly nasty. Its rezas MO to keep the two off balance and under control. Eventually that will wear down and johnny will do something about it. I dont think he's a softy like some other charactors. As a programmer he's probably got some smarts about him. Wonder if can hack rezas shit than have the goods on him. Let reza play his game while he holds all the aces.
Not sure at this point what will happen between johnny and charlie. Their love seems genuine. Their lusts equally genuine. Can charlie keep in her mind that its just an orgasm and not love making. Can johnny accept the Charlie is now a hit wife. I think the former is harder foe charlie and the latter easy for johnny.
I am also thinking about the torment with watching Charlie getting fucked nice and good and his cock is completely locked up. The whole idea is incredibly hot. Makes me anxious to see the next one!
DeleteJohn,
DeleteCharlie has already been sighted (RdJ Metro) in full slut regalia. Unless this whole Brazil escapade was Reza's idea he's not gonna be happy. And, yes, Reza wants to steal not only Charlie but also Jonny's IP.

DeleteForgot about the date night with reza...lol. which now begs what more could Genesis/Reza do. I d.say reza could pimp her out but then that would be counter productive to the indebted process. Unless she does it on her own.
DeleteUnlike maggie and max where i might have preferred a reconcilattion.
This one i think the love has taken a backseat to lust for both of them.
Reza said all Charlie had to say was no. The thing that
Makes this a hot story for me is the real threat of Charlie running off. As much as johnny under house arrest being tethered to his pc while charlie.is doing the unknown. Im with jeff on this one the more charlie is pushed and acquiesces the more torture is piled on poor johnny the better...
Just to see who will break first.
Just waiting for tate to say "if you were my girl, i'd (fill in the blank).
Little late to the party, loving how it's playing out. Reza is as little hard for me to understand, to me he just seems like some kind of mob boss with a lot of free time and he's very bored. I think he likes the idea of seducing Charlie away from Johnny more than he likes Charlie. Because of that, I feel like a lot would have to happen in the next book for Charlie to actually be seduced by him permanently but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Johnny working on exactly? He shows an animation of a dragon being hunted or something so it seems like a game with a pretty big scope. Maybe something like Monster Hunter? Or Skyrim? Most games like that have dozens of people working on them over the course of years, and he's just one guy. He's definitely gonna need some help. He's an animator and it's his game so he's probably got a good idea of the narrative and direction of the game, but what about sound effects and a music score? Who's gonna do all the meticulous testing of every little detail to iron out the bugs? Voice overs if needed? Who'd publish it? Maybe he could use something like Steam Early Access to get his game out earlier if he's so confident in it. Could bring in more than enough money to get Reza out from under him if it's good enough and he wouldn't have to wait for the game to be finished. Wouldn't need to be as big as Minecraft or something, just a moderate amount of success would be more than enough. But what is the game?? Will we get a free copy with the last novel??
Its in my mind too that reza wants to dissolve johnny and charlies marriage. I dont think reza cam do it alone. Hes not a charlie type. But he could bring in a ringer to do the job if his attempts fail.(aka tate).

DeleteWA - that is an excellent point about the timeframe, just when exactly can Jonny get his game made? 6 months is not happening, but what's tantalizing about that number is that it seems plausible to agree to it or at least (from Charlie's perspective) believe someone can do something like that with a whole half of a year! But you're right, that seems like a very tall order even with his new minimum wage staff. Where even are they? I know they live in a city, but are they in an area where they can easily access people trying to get in to this industry so bad they'll accept being paid pennies essentially, and month to month! Seems like he'd have a hard enough time trying to rein in the potential lack of focus that could come from the type of talent that kind of job would attract, let alone see his vision and execute it.
DeleteCharlie believes in you, Jonny, don't let her down!
I think Reza said no more than 20k per month which sounds like a pretty generous salary even for month to month work split between two people but I'm not a programmer.
DeleteJohnny seems like he has a vision and has talent himself so I want to trust in his confidence, it's just there are so few games that I can think of that were successful that only had a handful of creators. Undertale (a beloved indie RPG) took ~3 years for one guy to develop and it looks like an Atari game. Seems like Johnny's vision is way broader than that and he wants to finish it in 6 months. No way, right? It sucks but the scope of his game could be the downfall of his marriage if it's too broad..
oops that is right about the payment amounts for the programmers, I guess I assumed it was a year salary without paying attention well enough.
DeleteSo much for whatever I added to your thoughts, ha
...
Friend of mine is a programmer and he makes about $120 k a year, he's not a game programmer though. I know several people that are into game design and they make pretty good money although the competition is pretty tough. I imagine poor Johnny is going to have to work extra hard while his wife is cumming nonstop with Reza in the other room. Maybe he is forced to serve them while the sex gets hot and heavy. Frustration mounting as he tries to get hard but fails.

DeleteSomething else to consider we don't know how much of the programming is alreasy complete. He started on it some time ago and has been banging away at it since when? So he maybe in the smoothing process or what ever the programmers call it. Find and fix bugs then beta test...more debuggery.
DeleteIn short this could go on for along time or be over soon depending on KT's whims.
The coders would essentially be paid the equivalent of 120/year but on a freelance contract basis. Unless Jonny gets 4 cheaper ones, or six, or maybe one super-awesome coder. It will depend on what Jonny needs at each stage. He has a budget of 20k/month.
DeleteThe game will be tablet based, a fantasy puzzle solving type thing but I'm not going to deep with it. Remember Amy in Obsessed?—I went too far describing her playing Skyrim, although I was technically doing it on purpose because it was making me laugh to show how much she thought dumb shit through and how childlike her mind was. Too much detail!—so Jonny's game will be alluded to a lot more than illuminated. But it will become important. And, Jonny has been working on it for a long time and has large chunks already completed; right now he's trying to release a complete and playable beta that he can sell to a publisher to help get it live.
Ok, that sounds achievable then. Especially if he's already got chunks of it finished
DeleteAnd while this is going on.... who has the key??? Reza ? Or Charlie? Does Jonny try to negotiate more time out of the cage ? And if so, at what cost? What servitude? Maybe his "cleanup" duties are further extended. Recall that he has started that, but with a towel.
ReplyDeleteOwnership of the key is transferable. Problem is, the contract mandates which days the device comes off, so how important is ownership of the key? Of course, I guess, contracts are further negotiable...
Delete"Further Negotiable"??? Mind blown....
DeleteWas the JO tate challenge real or just cuz i feel like it from Reza. He seemed to have forgot he told her to do that. Then seemed surprised she did it. Then didnt want the evidence she did. Soooo wtf? What did i miss?
ReplyDeleteI think Reza asked Charlie to do it out of being a controlling douche, evidenced by the fact that, as you mentioned, he forgot he even asked her to do it. He's the barbarian king, shunning off his subjects to do his whims so frequently, he forgets what he's asked. It's almost a compulsion, probably, to boss people around.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThanks for clearing that up. That puts Reza in the just toying with the ants and my magnifying glass on a clear sunny day
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYeah pretty much, ha! Just one man's opinion!
DeleteHow powerful of a man he must be to command people to commit to an act that causes them personal torment and he just comes back with, "I asked you to what? Oh yeah, well did you?"
Reza offered the challenge to Charlie after she requested something from him. It was a power display. A reminder. Then he forgot. He's busy. He did a ton of shit that day, he can't be expected to remember how he bullied everyone that day. Or, probably more accurately, he exactly remembers but chooses to appear to forget in order to frustrate and it comes with the bonus: 'you're not that important, Charlie.' My opinion is he remembers...
DeleteIn other news ... a paperback collection of the "Taken" series! Bless you, KT!
ReplyDeleteI'll say that I very much enjoyed revisiting some old (dare I say) classics from this author. I own all of them (except Taken at the Hockey Rink), but reading these over again was excellent.
DeleteMy personal favorite was 'Taken at the Combine' for several reasons, and not because I am an avid College Football fan, but in particular it's because I like it when the female character has her attention undivided by multiple men, though I am realizing that KT always seems to have a head honcho, even in her multiple partners stories, so those stories end up working for me, too!
Grammar correction in my second paragraph, ... I like when a female character doesn't have her attention divided by multiple men ...'
DeleteAgreed. If there are multiple men involved, the plot tends to turn away from hotwife/cuckold towards slut wife. and I like the former....
DeleteWell I wouldn't call them sluts (everybody look how feminist I am, lol) I just like it when the bull means something to the female character. I think KT, always includes that element though, even in the multiple partners books so that's appreciated!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWith that sentiment 2b2h. What do you think of charlies loving gaze into Rezas eyes as she realized he shaved for her....hoooow sweeeet! A little Edith bunker like though. Emotional connection or not?
DeleteThe threat that reza will have charlie divorcing Johnny when she moves in with him...i like it just not sure what else he has to offer charlie besides best sex ever, top quality drugs, no limit credit card, wardrobe full of most expensive shoes, all the clothing she can desire and social status as Reza's main squeeze. Not to mention hanging around Tate alot more often...i dont see any reason for her to leave johnny at all.....ahhhh love isnt it grand!
My curiosity was piqued by three interactions with Reza and Charlie-
Delete1) That moment you mentioned where they kissed and it seemed like Charlie felt something, Reza too?
2) Reza's careful lovemaking with protection. Looking to keep with her, not dominate.
3) Charlie being very receptive to Reza's criticism of Jonny. His opinion of Jonny might really be starting to rub off on Charlie.
I don't think it leads to a HEA with Reza and Charlie, but I think it shows things could get really tough before it ever gets better.
For 3) I was specifically referring to Reza's "Jonny needs a strong woman" rant.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteTheres a snap point in every cuck that turns into a either flight or fight. I think Johnny has shown he'd rather fight if he had the ability too. But now that his kink is being pandered to, not so much fight anymore.. maybe when the papers finally arrive he'll go ballistic. Choose a "since im losing her anyway might as well go out with a bang" attitude.
DeleteCharlie seemed most interested when johnny was talling tough about Reza..of course this was all behind the back stuff. But it seems she liked Johnny standing up for her and himself.
Perhaps charlie desires johnnys face ans loving charactoristics on tates body with rezas attitude.
Unlike the Maggie series, in this one it's the male protagonist that offended me first by being okay with using Charlie's mouth to pay for rent. And he allowed that mostly out of self interest and pride -- because he didn't want to live with Charlie's parents for a little while. As unpleasant as that might have been and despite the blow it would have undoubtedly made on her parent's already poor opinion of him, it shows me he has very little fight in him and most of what we see from him is fluff. A rebellious nature, sure, that sometimes floats to the surface and impacts his decisions in a meaningful way, but not very often. Occasionally being snappy with Reza because he took advantage of him and his pretty wife is not meaningful.
DeleteIt was condescending what Reza said to him, that he needs a strong woman, but there was truth to it. Charlie is the stronger one to be sure.
I don't think he's gonna fight at all, even if his game sucks and Charlie leaves him.
Do any of you feel the same way, that Charlie almost seemed like she was lost in Reza's words about Jonny because she was taking it in, almost like a student does when they are being taught something they are ready to learn about, with attention rapt and entirely tuned into the teacher's words?
DeleteWA - I agree with you about this story's premise, swallow your pride and don't whore out your wife to make up for your own personal failings. Seems like a good way to live.
That said, I'm glad he did what he and Charlie are doing what they're doing, it makes for a very entertaining story. And I'll disagree only in that I think Jonny will try to fight back, or feign an attempt rather convincingly.
I did get that impression. But I was also taking in what he was saying like a student ready to learn, so maybe I was predisposed to notice that. It would be surprising to me, though, if she was learning that for the first time. It seems more likely to me that she already knew those things in much finer detail. It's the same guy that said (abridged): "Yeah just suck his dick and lick his balls so we can live here another 30 days." Hey, farms have internet access too, Jonny.
DeleteI think Jonny is in a great position to fight back by making a successful video game and sticking it to Reza so we circle back to what we've been chanting: Better be good Jonny!
Weirds me out i cant figuire out why my posts double up. I type it than i refresh refresh refresh no double post i exit come back in and theres a dupe of my prevuous post ...ideas anyone?
ReplyDeleteyour refreshing might be doing it. Try posting, then physically click KT's blog post, then you won't double post. Double posting happened to me all the time when I use my phone and click back or refresh the page immediately after my reply is posted.
DeleteNow I'm providing technical support on here? I need more hobbies, lol.
My refreshing was an attempt at a solution but ill trt the click back and redresh method have done that one yet here it goes wish me luck..(side affect is KT gets twuce the number of replies from me so not all bad.)
DeleteBtw 99% fone....1/8" keyboard 2" thumbs hence spelling errors
DeleteDo you guys think we see any more of Genesis? I bet we don't? I think she served her "purpose" and now she exits stage right. Which would be fine with me. The angst here is between Charlie and Reza and Jonny.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind. She's interesting at least; she knows what kind of person Reza is so she has to at least be similar to him. I doubt she's as nice as she seems.
DeleteI'd wager her profession is a chekhov's gun - I think Charlie will end up tatted and/or pierced with symbolism of Reza's ownership.
DeleteI think we do see more of her. Glaucon thanks for teaching me a good literature term! I think another Chekhov's gun is Charlie's reaction when Genesis gave Jonny the slightest attention, even if she was doing it out of mere politeness/curiosity/humiliation. Her reaction there might have served its purpose to us as readers, but I can imagine a scenario where Reza uses that to get a reaction out of Charlie.
DeleteI don't want to treat people like pawns, but I feel like that is something Reza would do, using Genesis as piece to make Charlie jealous. We all know how crazy jealousy can make people ... I could see that becoming useful to a man like Reza.
Wbat if reza makes Genesis the key holder......would charlie eventually get used to the idea afterall its only twice a month... but oh that angst for charlie that would deffinatly flip the script.
DeleteMaybe Genesis holds the key, and maybe she's bait for Jonny when he gets set free. Jonny gets one chance every two weeks, but guess who is a visitor those nights?
DeleteCharlie's physical intimacy with Jonny becomes more and more indirect, at best.
Another idea i been perving i mean thinking about is what if reza cuts charlie off for awhile lets her frustration build with Johnny in a cage and no way to get that deep tissue massage. Would she beg for it or try and seduce any available "member".
DeleteGlaucon, I think my penis moved when i read your comment about Reza having Charlie "tatted and/or pierced" as a symbol of his ownership of her, lol. WOW! And I just can't stop thinking about ownership of that key as well. When Jonny is deprived for 2 weeks at a time, what is he willing to do for additional relief? Especially if he is witnessing first hand what Charlie is forced to do. Does his own angst push him further into "debt" with Reza as he tries to negotiate additional freedom?
DeleteYea its a real head spinner.
DeleteIm gonna go with an amalgam that as 2b2h put its Genesis who gets to remove the cage . But additionally right when charlie is about have a mind blowing orgasm on Reza is when johnny is released with the renegotiated contract that when he cums he goes back in..since we know how well he enjoys watching reza and charlie. With a few well placed breaths from Genesis and hes back in it before he knew he was out of it.
Glaucon is there anyone who doesnt like the idea of Charlie being tatted or pierced. You know johnny will like it...what about charlie think she'd get off on it?
DeleteObligatory check in next book check-in -
ReplyDeleteLove the length! You may have said this already, but are you still writing HE or are you just expanding where you see it needs to be expanded?
I see I'm not the only one checking that slide bar each day....
DeleteAlso, thought I would share this as well, primarily because it's somewhat related. I follow a hotwife/cuckold blog. This week, a member posted his story with an update that his wife (who has a bull) has asked him to wear a cage for the next 30 days. He is going to be traveling for a week for work, his wife intends to stay with her bull during those 30 days and she has requested that he wear a cage so he isn't allowed to masturbate. I'll give KT the credit for this, but my mind couldn't help but think about our Jonny who is headed into a similar situation. :)

Delete@KT ....Just out of curiosity..how much time do you spend on research?
DeleteJust asking cuz ya seem pretty well versed in the genre..so im figuiring you either have a VERY interesting group of associates or you have other resources that we readers are unaware of. Just curious if theres a resource board or something you writers toss ideas about in.
Not that i'd want to dig it up that would be too scary a place for me to loiter around in. I might wake up one day wondering why i put a cage on myself and WHO THE HELL IS THAT IN BED WITH MY WIFE!!
Research on hotwife stuff? Not much. Cuckold cage I did have to look into. Mostly it's easy to figure out hotwife elements. To me it's male fantasy of loss of control, just like 50 shades of grey is for women. Men are surrendering themselves, their sexuality, to the desires of the woman they love. Surrendering it to the wife more than the other man, but the other man is a key component because he has to represent the things they aren't. So I normally think, like, what would be a terrible thing to see happen? And what would make it just that tiny bit worse? Sometimes it's a little gross biological sexual detail, sometimes it's the fear of an emotional connection between the wife and the other man. And, hey, let's go crazy, in the third act we'll add them together, and mix in a little husband-rejection, inadvertent or otherwise, and a little wife-ownership as she surrenders to the dominance of another man. To me, it's fantasy. (Oh boy, here I go ...) Female sexuality has been for a long time, under the thumb of male patriarchy (I told you to buckle up) and now as society becomes freer that ancient fear of female sexuality is becoming a reality and is getting fetishized. Female sexuality is changing in society, normalizing, squashing outward from the ancient agricultural practices of lineages and inheritance. Shit, I gotta go to work so I don't have time to dig deep here, plus, I really have to finish Happy Endings, but Donkatsu sent me a link to a good book and if it's cool with him I'll link it out. Ultimately, no, I don't research the hotwife/cuckold stuff. I might read on ohw.org occasionally, but I haven't in a year maybe (other than to read what people were saying about me, ha ha). I write romance books too, so it's like I write a romance book between maybe a badboy and a woman but the husband is around to witness it. That's hot. I get it. I do spend a lot of time on other research. I'm a bit smarter after doing Happy Endings—it has structure like Cayman Proxy, moving parts that are not hotwife related that have to make sense, and I had to familiarize myself with a certain business. I just love writing these books!
DeleteI fucking love KT...
Delete... I'm such a dumb fanboy, lol
Delete"Men are surrendering themselves, their sexuality, to the desires of the woman they love." So true. I come to the cuckold/hotwife genre as a sexually submissive guy who is put off by most of the conventions of the "femdom" genre (whips, chains, leather corsets, barked commands, "yes Mistress," etc., etc.). To me, that so misses the point (or at least the appeal to me). What's thrilling to me is the sexual power of the feminine, and of femininity, and there's no need for a woman to mimic crude male aggression to exploit that. The women in the cuckold/hotwife genre -- even the ones who are in some respects "submissive" -- are empowered by the real-world dynamics between men and women, and by their husbands' or boyfriends' love and desire for them. That's infinitely hotter, and more meaningfully dominant, than "lick my boots worm!" or whatever.
DeleteKT.... you would be an amazing Hot wife. Just saying....
DeleteThanks for the response..
DeleteVery interesting stuff.
KT: here 'tis
DeleteEven the Washington Post . . . Is catching up with the biological realism that forms the core of your erotica. You and many of your confreres have known things we all used to know but willfully erased from the memory banks over the past generation or two.
It will be interesting to see how this develops as ideology comes into conflict with increasingly accurate biological and genetic science wrt the sexes and sexual behavior. It must be gratifying to know that you were way ahead of all but the most persevering and courageous evolutionary biologists of the current period.
Review: 'Theory of Bastards,' by Audrey Schulman - The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/theory-of-bastards-is-a-feminist-novel-but-not-the-one-youre-expecting/2018/05/08/1eb28762-5227-11e8-a551-5b648abe29ef_story.html?utm_term=.d87320667b2e
‘Theory of Bastards’ is a feminist novel, but not the one you’re expecting
By Michael Dirda
Don’t be put off by the abrasive title. Ignore the cover photograph of a young woman’s face staring at you from over a man’s shoulder. “Theory of Bastards” isn’t a bitter feminist diatribe about love gone wrong. We’ve read that one. Audrey Schulman has instead written a riveting page-turner about bonobos — yes, the chimplike primates — and set the action in a very near and dire future.
Oh, and NASA confirms that in space doggy style and reverse cowgirl are exactly the same: https://alternative-science.com/nasa-confirms-space-reverse-cowgirl-doggystyle-thing/
DeleteJust checking out KT and company's thread (The twitter thread linked on the main page) a bit on the subject of patterns and I want to point out that not all of the times KT has written something repeatedly is it a bad thing. For instance, I can not think of a word that has become more appropriately sexualized as a direct result of my readings of KT than the word 'warble.' It's perfect quite frankly.
