XOXO
From Doc’s Notes:
Cheating. Infidelity. Unfaithfulness.
If you look up the definition of these words, they all relatively hint at the same thing—the act or fact of having a romantic or sexual relationship with someone other than one's husband, wife, or partner.
But no other words with a finite definition actually mean something completely different to every single person on earth.
Some people feel cheated on if their partner watches pornography.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are some who don’t feel cheated on, even when their partner has intercourse with someone else. They don’t count that as infidelity… until maybe emotions get involved.
How about just kissing?
Or what if the “other man” turns out to be another woman instead? Is that less unfaithful?
What about flirting online with someone they’ll never meet in real life?
How does one truly feel about their significant other having a “work wife”?
Diving even deeper, what is one’s opinion about those who feel compersion—the opposite of jealousy—at the thought of watching their partner receive pleasure from others? Is it considered cheating if a man wants to be cucked? Wants more than anything to be an observer while the woman he loves is spoiled with physical gratification by another man?
Like my client, Roman, does.
Reading this list of scenarios, I’m sure everyone’s would be filled with totally different Xs and checkmarks, maybe some Os circling the ones they might desire to try themselves.
But no matter anyone else’s opinion, the only thing a couple should truly revere is what they’ve agreed upon in their own relationship.
Their marriage’s XOXO checklist.
Something Roman and his wife, Savannah—members of my Club Alias—have to learn the hard way.

Very weird book with very light bdsm hints.
The heroine finds in her husband’s cell some text with ow, and thinks he’s got an affair.
He tries to explain and tells her he never had anything physical but she refuses to listen.
She becomes depressed and decides she’ll have therapy.
The therapist asks her to call her husband and the hero then explains what happened.
- he had this fantasy: to see his wife pleasured by another man, but since he knew she was not willing to let another man touch her he decided to ask a couple of exhibitionists to send him video of them having sex, in exchange of him pretending to be om and sending ow texts.
It’s was all a pretense and he was never ever attracted to her, he fantasized she was his wife but after the first video he understood he wasn’t satisfied and stopped seeing the other videos that the couple sent him. But he sent her those texts to fulfill his part of the agreement. No involvement either emotional or physical.
- he was ashamed of his fantasies and wanted to protect the heroine from his dark side.
- he was actually very very sorry when the whole thing came out and cried like a baby because he never wanted to hurt the heroine, just the opposite.
- but since they have this kind of sub dim relationship the heroine felt he betrayed her trust and didn’t share one important part of him with her, so she felt she was not enough.
- there’s much angst here and that’s why it could have been 3 stars.
- sadly there are two very disappointing things.
- the first is the therapist- so called. He should be removed from his professional position. He exploited his patient trying to coerce her to accept that maybe she could enjoy another man’s touch, if she tried.
- the heroine, despite she was willing to have bdsm with her husband, strongly believed in her marriage vows and wanted to be touched only by her husband. The lucky man didn’t appreciate it, apparently.
- so the author tries- and fails- to persuade me that the heroine changed her mind about the sex with om and decided to go through with it.
- and she puts their bff as the man they chose to pleasure the heroine while the hero watches.
- and after all the three go out and have dinner together as happy buddies as nothing happened. Are you serious????
-the therapist who exploited his position to change his patient’s mind about her limits in her sexual life- without any real benefit for her: abominable.
- the husband who, despite having a non conformist and satisfying sexual life with the woman he loved for more than a decade, decides that his fantasies are more important than his wife and the respect he owes her: despicable.
- all people have sexual fantasies and not always they fulfill them, this doesn’t mean they don’t have a very satisfying sexual life. When fulfilling those fantasies become more important than any meaningful relationship one have in their life, it becomes an addiction therefore a problem. The husband needed therapy.
- the bff becoming third in a sexual fantasy is creepy.

Where to begin???
I wanted to 5 star the fuck out of this…I mean, mainstream cuckholding that reads like a romance novel and have it be well written
*fans-self*
(sorry to the current crowd writing it…cuz I’ve read it…but it’s just not the same level of wordsmithing)
But this reality???
The first 50-60% was like a lesson in compersion and couples therapy. While I liked it, cuz well written, I was bored. I needed more of what actually transpired between H/OW and the fact he was NOT as physically and emotionally present for the h during this time was not really addressed. To each other they really only admitted that it happened, but not in-depth to each other to feel healing. The time AFTER she found out was, but not the specifics of what he was or wasn’t doing for her DURING the cheating/texting.
And all the real angst of her recovering is over by the time the book starts. She’s already made enough peace with it she’s trying to cope, just not successfully. By all accounts she didn’t even have private room for herself when she found out. They had a roommate, no one knew. So how did she find the space to heal to the point 2 conversations with Doc and she’s ready to roll???
What was here, though, was awesome. And why I can’t 2 star and roll ;)
I just feel like I didn’t get enough of the before, during, and after the cheating to really believe the healing the H/h portrayed.
This deserved a full novel because of its topics. I think a novella did the story injustice.
3.5 but I can’t round up cuz of my aforementioned issues 😉 But I’m sure this will make most of my angsty-bitches happy.

H was texting in a 3 way chat with another couple where H was playing the voyeur/cuckhold (never clear to me) to them but only through text and photos/videos. It qualifies for cheating for me for obvious reasons, plus…it was a fantasy he had and he sought it out behind h’s back to fulfill (even without sex, emotions, or being present during intimate times of couple), which broke D/s code in their relationship, not just vows. PLUS, PLUS…H began to physically, emotionally, and sexually ignore the h FOR A YEAR, which she noticed, and caused her emotional stress…all BEFORE she knew what was going on.
.
ALSO…the enactment of H’s fantasy with h/OM…really glad the OMBFF didn’t actually have sex with h, he only fingered her and never kissed her, cuz the 3 are besties and I doubt the h would let her H fuck the BFF’s future wife. That shit would be awkward for the 3 and the poor wife…which should be my jam, but that reeks of a level of humiliation I wouldn’t like for wife of OMBFF.

September 28, 2022I’m writing this as a self-note, it is not in any shape or form a review (hence why I will not leave a star rating). I personally do not seek-out romances with cheating in them, but with following the author on tiktok my interest was peaked (for what exactly happens in the book). So because this is not my type of book, I don’t rate them. They’re not for me to judge. So these are just my notes (with a ton of quotes from the book). This is going to be a long self-note with *a lot* of spoilers regarding safety. So if you read my self-note for safety notes, or just to know the bearings of what the cheating is- I hope this can help you!
MMC has a kink of seeing a woman be pleased by another man, he has had threesomes and moresomes with his best friend Abe. MMC’s fantasy is more intense (stronger than before) when thinking about doing it with his wife (FMC). The FMC is has no interest in another person, in all of the 11 years they’ve been together (and even with being members at a sex club) she’s never felt the urge to be with someone else. The MMC and FMC have been together for 11 years. MMC cheats on his wife by having an texting-sexual-affair. It is with another married couple (who knew he was married) and he was able to play out in a cuckholding situation. The MMC confirmed with the FMC that they knew he was married, and that the MMC would have been out with his wife on New Years. The MMC had met up with them at lunch and set up this dynamic. He would sext with the wife over text message, and then that woman’s husband would “stake his claim” after “catching them” and send the video to the MMC. The MMC received multiple videos. It goes on for a year, during that year he pulled back almost completely from giving his wife affection.
The FMC finds out on New Years (her favourite holiday) and these are the text messages:
MMC’s text:
“God, Farrah. I keep looking out at the dance floor, wishing I’d spot your face in the crowd.”
And then the OW’s reply of:
“My sweet man. We’ll see each other again soon,”
This is the quote of how the reader/FMC knew it lasted a year:
“For a whole year before I found the texts, his physical affection came very sparingly outside of Club Alias.” & “I did hear the part where he admitted the guilt he felt talking to another woman was a big part of what kept him from being more affectionate.”
Confirmation that the other couple knew about the MMC being married:
“For some reason, I just knew she knew he was married. I felt it down to my bones. Maybe I read it between the lines of their messages, like she knew he was out with his wife for New Year’s Eve, and that’s why he wasn’t celebrating it with her instead.”
And eventually I found out I was correct in that assumption, after Roman told me as much as I could stomach each time he wanted to explain.”
This book is set 8 months after she found the messages. FMC couldn’t handle getting the full story from the MMC so the beginning of the book is her therapy session sharing how she perceived what had happened during the affair. She was able to only handle small pieces of information from the MMC, but she would often have a panic attack when the subject would come up (to get more details).
These are quotes from the conversation on what happened from the MMC perspective(these are combination of what he was thinking, saying then what the FMC and their therapist had to say):
I knew it would fucking devastate her if she ever knew I was talking to some other woman, but in my complete idiocy, I thought I could keep it my own little secret. After all, what she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her, and in my head, it wasn’t real anyway. It was just a fantasy.
In my mind, I was doing what I did to protect her, to keep her away from the thoughts swarming my head like a bunch of pissed-off hornets that refused to be ignored.
And it makes me wonder if he’s come across someone like me, a man with an absolutely perfect wife who has never done a damn thing wrong, in addition to being my perfect submissive, yet I had still wanted more.
Still want more.
Not past tense.
Those desires are still well and truly thriving inside me. And I think they would continue to do so even if I had fulfilled the fantasy with someone else. Because a huge part of the fantasy is fulfilling it with Savannah herself. The woman of my fucking dreams.
“No matter how hard I try to push my dark desires out of my mind, telling myself that some things are meant to stay in a fantasy world and not acted upon in reality, I can’t make this one go away. Therefore, I tried my best to get it out of me, to dump it on some other person I didn’t care a single bit about, so that darkness wouldn’t touch my sweet Savvy.”
“Did you…?” Her words are cut off by an involuntary gulp, so she tries again. “Did you act out a fantasy with her too?” Her chin wobbles. “I thought… I thought you never touched—”
“No. I never acted out anything with her. And I never once touched her. I swear to you,” I say earnestly, willing her to believe me, because it’s the God’s honest truth.
“For as long as I can remember, and we’ve been together a very long time, I’ve had a fantasy of watching Savannah have sex with another man,”
“I believe Savannah is under the impression that the only reason you offered for her to sleep with another man is to… balance the scale, if you will,”
“I’m aware that’s what she’s allowed herself to believe, but it’s actually backward to what really happened. The truth is, I knew she’d never agree to cuckolding, so when the desires wouldn’t go away no matter what other kinks we explored, that’s when I got the idiotic idea to… roleplay, I guess you’d call it. I roleplayed with myself. This other woman was to portray Savannah, and I’d get to pretend I was watching my wife get fucked by another man,”
“So if that was your intent, that means you never would have touched the other woman. It was purely voyeuristic, not physical.”
“And it went terribly wrong and never should’ve happened in the first place,” I add.
“I met her and her husband for lunch one day. They were an exhibitionist couple who wanted to be watched. We met in person to discuss how we’d make it work so that both our fantasies could be fulfilled. Their kink, and what you read in those messages, is he likes to punish her when he catches her ‘cheating,’ enjoys re-marking his territory, per se. She gets off on texting with other men, so… well… they’re the perfect match for each other. I thought by helping them satisfy their fetish as the fake ‘other man,’ I too would satisfy the dark desire I had. But it didn’t work. No matter how much I texted them, no matter how much I tried to pretend I was sending those messages to Savannah and receiving the videos of the other couple fucking, it didn’t even come close to what I imagine the reality would be like. It was all for nothing.”
But her whimpered “Videos? You… you watched videos of this woman?” pulls my eyes back to Savannah. The pure agony in her tone cracks my heart wide-open, knowing I’m the one who has caused her all this unnecessary pain.
“I did, baby. At least, I tried to. But when it wasn’t working the way I’d hoped, when it did nothing to satisfy this… sick obsession, I stopped bothering to even open the videos. I still texted with them, but it was completely meaningless. It was purely to keep my end of the arrangement.”
She narrows her eyes on me again. “If it was doing nothing for you, then why did you feel the need to even keep your end of the arrangement? You must’ve enjoyed talking to her at least a little to keep doing it. After all, the messages I found on New Year’s were hidden under a man’s name. And you were taking time out of our night, which you know is my favorite holiday, to tell her you were looking around the crowd, wishing you’d see her fucking whore face!”
“First, the texts weren’t ‘hidden’ under a man’s name. Pete is the husband’s name, and it was a messaging thread between the three of us, so he could watch and get off on the conversation. And if I’m being honest, then yes, I must admit I enjoyed the texting, but not why you probably think I did. As I said, for me, I was pretending I was talking to you, and it was fun flirting back and forth. It’s… it’s something you and I haven’t done in a very, very long time. And it felt like I was back years ago, when we were dating and we would take the time to send each other sexy messages to rile each other up and build the anticipation for when we’d be together again. All we do now is ask if the other person needs something on our way home from work, or send reminders for appointments, or ‘hey, where’d you leave the remote?’”
“Which I’m sure is completely normal for married couples. I’m just saying it was fun, made me feel young again, and I wished the whole time it was you on the other end of the line and not some stand-in.”
“I’m aware it’s a completely juvenile excuse why I was talking to another woman. I don’t deny that. But at the time, it seemed harmless, since I wasn’t actually fucking someone else. I was never going to touch another person.”
“But even so, why does it still hurt like you did?”
Doc speaks up then, and I’m grateful for the explanation he provides the both of us.
“Some would say an emotional affair is worse than a physical one. Since it’s common knowledge some people can completely separate their emotions from the act of sex, it seems much more intimate when the transgression involves the adulterer’s feelings. I believe, Savannah, that your pain is coming from the belief that Roman may have been having an emotional affair while spending all that time texting with her. You’re worried he now feels some sort of attachment to her, a connection you believe was reserved only for you, even though he didn’t actually physically touch her.”
“That’s exactly it, Doc,” she murmurs. “He admitted he liked texting with her, liked the flirting. So how could he not have deeper feelings for this woman? Especially if he’s seen her in her most intimate moments.”
He asks carefully, “Tell me this. When you’re at the club, where members are openly displaying their ‘most intimate moments,’ do you feel the same way when Roman watches the scenes?”
Her brows furrow as she thinks about his question. “No, not at all. But we’re there together. Watching it together. I’m there too; it’s not him viewing all of that by himself.” A moment passes. “Behind my back.” She swallows thickly, and she sniffles again. “I’ve done absolutely everything he’s ever wanted me to, not only as his wife but as his submissive. And I don’t say that begrudgingly. I’ve done all of it happily, with pleasure. The only boundary I’ve ever established, the only limit I’ve ever had, is to not pull my hair. It’s a trigger, and everyone who needs to, knows this about me. So I don’t understand why he wouldn’t have brought his fantasy up, like everything else we’ve ever tried sexually.”
“And that makes you feel…?”
“Inadequate.”
“It makes me feel inadequate not only as his wife but as his submissive. He’s supposed to come to me with any desire he has, no matter how… twisted he believes it is. That’s part of who we are as a couple, the trust we established a long time ago. The thing I loved most about us. And now that trust has been broken, because he didn’t come to me with it. And not only that, but he went to another woman with it instead. There aren’t supposed to be any secrets between us. I was so… so devout in my belief in him. Before that… awful night—” Her voice cracks, but she keeps going. “—you couldn’t have paid me to believe we’d be going through this in our lifetime. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, if someone had come to me and told me my husband did all this behind my back, I wouldn’t have given it even a moment’s thought. No way.” She shakes her head. “Not my Roman.”
The last part of her response to him makes me feel unworthy of even being the shit on the bottom of her shoe: “Why wasn’t I good enough for him to come to with this fantasy? Why did he feel more open, more comfortable with another… a woman who was not me?”
I did this.
I’m the one who’s done this to the most loving, nurturing, the most devoted person I’ve ever had the honor of breathing the same air as. I’ve not only broken my wife’s heart and trust, but I’ve broken her confidence in herself as well, and that’s more unforgiveable than anything else my lapse in judgement caused.
This entire time, all these months, I’ve been wanting her to understand my point of view, my reasoning and justifications. I’ve solely focused on trying to get her to hear me out, to see I truly didn’t cheat on her, at least in my mind. I’ve craved for her to see things my way, to get that I was doing what I could to keep that dark part of me away from her, to protect her from it.
But it’s not until this very moment that I understand she’s hurting not because of some affair I might’ve had with another woman. It’s the fact that I didn’t share that part of me with her instead. She’s given me every single piece of her, no holds barred. And I withheld from her the same honor. An honor that should’ve been reserved solely for my wife.
Before, I’d ask myself, If I found out Savannah was doing what I was, would I consider it an affair? And the answer was always a resounding no because of my reasoning. But now, I ask myself, How would I feel if Savannah shared something with another person that she hid from me? And it’s like a sucker punch to the gut and a kick in the balls all at once.
I’d feel betrayed.
Betrayal.
No other word for it.
Infidelity—no. Unfaithfulness—not enough. Thinking of her perspective with this newfound clarity, nothing hits quite as accurately as betrayal.
I betrayed my wife.
I betrayed her trust.
I betrayed everything she called her safe haven.
Chunks (quotes) from his conversation with his best friend Abe:
There’s a pause, and then he admits, “I gotta confess something, bro. When you started the story with Savannah finding those text messages—” His nostrils flare, and I hear the crack of his knuckles. When I glance down at his hands, his right one is in a fist while the left covers it. “—I had a hard time keeping my ass in this chair instead of getting up and kicking yours.”
I figured as much. “I would’ve let you. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over the guilt I feel from keeping it from her, from turning to someone else with this fantasy instead of her.”
He nods, looking down at his hands, now relaxed, his fingers laced.
“I get why you did though. I can understand wanting to protect her, wanting to keep something like that from… I guess tarnishing her, for lack of a better word.”
I shrug. “It wasn’t just that. I didn’t want her to learn something about me that would make her look at me any differently. I’ve told you this so many times over the years, but I’ll say it again. No one has ever looked at me the way she does. No one has ever… worshipped me, made me feel like a fucking god, the way she always has.”
He nods again, letting out a sigh. “Yeah, I don’t know a sane person on this earth who’d take the risk of losing someone who looks at them the way Savvy looks at you, man.”
“I was being selfish, not wanting to risk losing such devotion. And besides that, it’s not like she’s just a loyal sub. No. She’s my goddamn wife. My soul mate, man. A sub, I could lose and be all right, find and train another. But the moment I married Savannah… that was it for me. That was the end of everything that came before her. That day wasn’t just our wedding; it was the ceremony signifying that this Dominant would never take on another submissive for the rest of his life.”
He lets out a huff. “Exactly. So I ask again, what the fuck?”
I turn to face him then, really look at him so he can see my sincerity. “That hasn’t changed. None of that has changed. Savvy will be my only sub until the day I die. She’ll be my wife ‘til death do us part. Nothing can stop that from happening, because if you were to take how much she worships me, how utterly, unconditionally devoted that woman is to me, it still would not come close to what I feel for her.”
He starts to shake his head, opening his mouth to argue, but I cut him off. “No. You don’t get it, Abe. I love her so fucking much that I want to spoil her with more pleasure than even I can give her. I want to give her every ounce of happiness, positivity, and bliss I physically am able to give, and then I want her to have so much more. An abundance of ecstasy so profuse she won’t remember what emotional pain even feels like.”
“But you don’t need to do that. You don’t need to let some random asshole fuck your wife so she’ll forget about the stupid texts you sent some horny swingers. She’s clearly already forgiven—”
“I need you to listen closely, because it’s important to me that you get this. That you get me.” I lift a brow, and he nods in acknowledgment. “This need I feel to spoil Savvy with pleasure, it has nothing—absolutely nothing—to do with wanting to even out any sort of scales. I felt this need before there was ever an imbalance.”
MMC has a kink of seeing a woman be pleased by another man, he has had threesomes and moresomes with his best friend Abe. MMC’s fantasy is more intense (stronger than before) when thinking about doing it with his wife (FMC). The FMC is has no interest in another person, in all of the 11 years they’ve been together (and even with being members at a sex club) she’s never felt the urge to be with someone else. The MMC and FMC have been together for 11 years. MMC cheats on his wife by having an texting-sexual-affair. It is with another married couple (who knew he was married) and he was able to play out in a cuckholding situation. The MMC confirmed with the FMC that they knew he was married, and that the MMC would have been out with his wife on New Years. The MMC had met up with them at lunch and set up this dynamic. He would sext with the wife over text message, and then that woman’s husband would “stake his claim” after “catching them” and send the video to the MMC. The MMC received multiple videos. It goes on for a year, during that year he pulled back almost completely from giving his wife affection.
The FMC finds out on New Years (her favourite holiday) and these are the text messages:
MMC’s text:
“God, Farrah. I keep looking out at the dance floor, wishing I’d spot your face in the crowd.”
And then the OW’s reply of:
“My sweet man. We’ll see each other again soon,”
This is the quote of how the reader/FMC knew it lasted a year:
“For a whole year before I found the texts, his physical affection came very sparingly outside of Club Alias.” & “I did hear the part where he admitted the guilt he felt talking to another woman was a big part of what kept him from being more affectionate.”
Confirmation that the other couple knew about the MMC being married:
“For some reason, I just knew she knew he was married. I felt it down to my bones. Maybe I read it between the lines of their messages, like she knew he was out with his wife for New Year’s Eve, and that’s why he wasn’t celebrating it with her instead.”
And eventually I found out I was correct in that assumption, after Roman told me as much as I could stomach each time he wanted to explain.”
This book is set 8 months after she found the messages. FMC couldn’t handle getting the full story from the MMC so the beginning of the book is her therapy session sharing how she perceived what had happened during the affair. She was able to only handle small pieces of information from the MMC, but she would often have a panic attack when the subject would come up (to get more details).
These are quotes from the conversation on what happened from the MMC perspective(these are combination of what he was thinking, saying then what the FMC and their therapist had to say):
I knew it would fucking devastate her if she ever knew I was talking to some other woman, but in my complete idiocy, I thought I could keep it my own little secret. After all, what she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her, and in my head, it wasn’t real anyway. It was just a fantasy.
In my mind, I was doing what I did to protect her, to keep her away from the thoughts swarming my head like a bunch of pissed-off hornets that refused to be ignored.
And it makes me wonder if he’s come across someone like me, a man with an absolutely perfect wife who has never done a damn thing wrong, in addition to being my perfect submissive, yet I had still wanted more.
Still want more.
Not past tense.
Those desires are still well and truly thriving inside me. And I think they would continue to do so even if I had fulfilled the fantasy with someone else. Because a huge part of the fantasy is fulfilling it with Savannah herself. The woman of my fucking dreams.
“No matter how hard I try to push my dark desires out of my mind, telling myself that some things are meant to stay in a fantasy world and not acted upon in reality, I can’t make this one go away. Therefore, I tried my best to get it out of me, to dump it on some other person I didn’t care a single bit about, so that darkness wouldn’t touch my sweet Savvy.”
“Did you…?” Her words are cut off by an involuntary gulp, so she tries again. “Did you act out a fantasy with her too?” Her chin wobbles. “I thought… I thought you never touched—”
“No. I never acted out anything with her. And I never once touched her. I swear to you,” I say earnestly, willing her to believe me, because it’s the God’s honest truth.
“For as long as I can remember, and we’ve been together a very long time, I’ve had a fantasy of watching Savannah have sex with another man,”
“I believe Savannah is under the impression that the only reason you offered for her to sleep with another man is to… balance the scale, if you will,”
“I’m aware that’s what she’s allowed herself to believe, but it’s actually backward to what really happened. The truth is, I knew she’d never agree to cuckolding, so when the desires wouldn’t go away no matter what other kinks we explored, that’s when I got the idiotic idea to… roleplay, I guess you’d call it. I roleplayed with myself. This other woman was to portray Savannah, and I’d get to pretend I was watching my wife get fucked by another man,”
“So if that was your intent, that means you never would have touched the other woman. It was purely voyeuristic, not physical.”
“And it went terribly wrong and never should’ve happened in the first place,” I add.
“I met her and her husband for lunch one day. They were an exhibitionist couple who wanted to be watched. We met in person to discuss how we’d make it work so that both our fantasies could be fulfilled. Their kink, and what you read in those messages, is he likes to punish her when he catches her ‘cheating,’ enjoys re-marking his territory, per se. She gets off on texting with other men, so… well… they’re the perfect match for each other. I thought by helping them satisfy their fetish as the fake ‘other man,’ I too would satisfy the dark desire I had. But it didn’t work. No matter how much I texted them, no matter how much I tried to pretend I was sending those messages to Savannah and receiving the videos of the other couple fucking, it didn’t even come close to what I imagine the reality would be like. It was all for nothing.”
But her whimpered “Videos? You… you watched videos of this woman?” pulls my eyes back to Savannah. The pure agony in her tone cracks my heart wide-open, knowing I’m the one who has caused her all this unnecessary pain.
“I did, baby. At least, I tried to. But when it wasn’t working the way I’d hoped, when it did nothing to satisfy this… sick obsession, I stopped bothering to even open the videos. I still texted with them, but it was completely meaningless. It was purely to keep my end of the arrangement.”
She narrows her eyes on me again. “If it was doing nothing for you, then why did you feel the need to even keep your end of the arrangement? You must’ve enjoyed talking to her at least a little to keep doing it. After all, the messages I found on New Year’s were hidden under a man’s name. And you were taking time out of our night, which you know is my favorite holiday, to tell her you were looking around the crowd, wishing you’d see her fucking whore face!”
“First, the texts weren’t ‘hidden’ under a man’s name. Pete is the husband’s name, and it was a messaging thread between the three of us, so he could watch and get off on the conversation. And if I’m being honest, then yes, I must admit I enjoyed the texting, but not why you probably think I did. As I said, for me, I was pretending I was talking to you, and it was fun flirting back and forth. It’s… it’s something you and I haven’t done in a very, very long time. And it felt like I was back years ago, when we were dating and we would take the time to send each other sexy messages to rile each other up and build the anticipation for when we’d be together again. All we do now is ask if the other person needs something on our way home from work, or send reminders for appointments, or ‘hey, where’d you leave the remote?’”
“Which I’m sure is completely normal for married couples. I’m just saying it was fun, made me feel young again, and I wished the whole time it was you on the other end of the line and not some stand-in.”
“I’m aware it’s a completely juvenile excuse why I was talking to another woman. I don’t deny that. But at the time, it seemed harmless, since I wasn’t actually fucking someone else. I was never going to touch another person.”
“But even so, why does it still hurt like you did?”
Doc speaks up then, and I’m grateful for the explanation he provides the both of us.
“Some would say an emotional affair is worse than a physical one. Since it’s common knowledge some people can completely separate their emotions from the act of sex, it seems much more intimate when the transgression involves the adulterer’s feelings. I believe, Savannah, that your pain is coming from the belief that Roman may have been having an emotional affair while spending all that time texting with her. You’re worried he now feels some sort of attachment to her, a connection you believe was reserved only for you, even though he didn’t actually physically touch her.”
“That’s exactly it, Doc,” she murmurs. “He admitted he liked texting with her, liked the flirting. So how could he not have deeper feelings for this woman? Especially if he’s seen her in her most intimate moments.”
He asks carefully, “Tell me this. When you’re at the club, where members are openly displaying their ‘most intimate moments,’ do you feel the same way when Roman watches the scenes?”
Her brows furrow as she thinks about his question. “No, not at all. But we’re there together. Watching it together. I’m there too; it’s not him viewing all of that by himself.” A moment passes. “Behind my back.” She swallows thickly, and she sniffles again. “I’ve done absolutely everything he’s ever wanted me to, not only as his wife but as his submissive. And I don’t say that begrudgingly. I’ve done all of it happily, with pleasure. The only boundary I’ve ever established, the only limit I’ve ever had, is to not pull my hair. It’s a trigger, and everyone who needs to, knows this about me. So I don’t understand why he wouldn’t have brought his fantasy up, like everything else we’ve ever tried sexually.”
“And that makes you feel…?”
“Inadequate.”
“It makes me feel inadequate not only as his wife but as his submissive. He’s supposed to come to me with any desire he has, no matter how… twisted he believes it is. That’s part of who we are as a couple, the trust we established a long time ago. The thing I loved most about us. And now that trust has been broken, because he didn’t come to me with it. And not only that, but he went to another woman with it instead. There aren’t supposed to be any secrets between us. I was so… so devout in my belief in him. Before that… awful night—” Her voice cracks, but she keeps going. “—you couldn’t have paid me to believe we’d be going through this in our lifetime. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, if someone had come to me and told me my husband did all this behind my back, I wouldn’t have given it even a moment’s thought. No way.” She shakes her head. “Not my Roman.”
The last part of her response to him makes me feel unworthy of even being the shit on the bottom of her shoe: “Why wasn’t I good enough for him to come to with this fantasy? Why did he feel more open, more comfortable with another… a woman who was not me?”
I did this.
I’m the one who’s done this to the most loving, nurturing, the most devoted person I’ve ever had the honor of breathing the same air as. I’ve not only broken my wife’s heart and trust, but I’ve broken her confidence in herself as well, and that’s more unforgiveable than anything else my lapse in judgement caused.
This entire time, all these months, I’ve been wanting her to understand my point of view, my reasoning and justifications. I’ve solely focused on trying to get her to hear me out, to see I truly didn’t cheat on her, at least in my mind. I’ve craved for her to see things my way, to get that I was doing what I could to keep that dark part of me away from her, to protect her from it.
But it’s not until this very moment that I understand she’s hurting not because of some affair I might’ve had with another woman. It’s the fact that I didn’t share that part of me with her instead. She’s given me every single piece of her, no holds barred. And I withheld from her the same honor. An honor that should’ve been reserved solely for my wife.
Before, I’d ask myself, If I found out Savannah was doing what I was, would I consider it an affair? And the answer was always a resounding no because of my reasoning. But now, I ask myself, How would I feel if Savannah shared something with another person that she hid from me? And it’s like a sucker punch to the gut and a kick in the balls all at once.
I’d feel betrayed.
Betrayal.
No other word for it.
Infidelity—no. Unfaithfulness—not enough. Thinking of her perspective with this newfound clarity, nothing hits quite as accurately as betrayal.
I betrayed my wife.
I betrayed her trust.
I betrayed everything she called her safe haven.
Chunks (quotes) from his conversation with his best friend Abe:
There’s a pause, and then he admits, “I gotta confess something, bro. When you started the story with Savannah finding those text messages—” His nostrils flare, and I hear the crack of his knuckles. When I glance down at his hands, his right one is in a fist while the left covers it. “—I had a hard time keeping my ass in this chair instead of getting up and kicking yours.”
I figured as much. “I would’ve let you. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over the guilt I feel from keeping it from her, from turning to someone else with this fantasy instead of her.”
He nods, looking down at his hands, now relaxed, his fingers laced.
“I get why you did though. I can understand wanting to protect her, wanting to keep something like that from… I guess tarnishing her, for lack of a better word.”
I shrug. “It wasn’t just that. I didn’t want her to learn something about me that would make her look at me any differently. I’ve told you this so many times over the years, but I’ll say it again. No one has ever looked at me the way she does. No one has ever… worshipped me, made me feel like a fucking god, the way she always has.”
He nods again, letting out a sigh. “Yeah, I don’t know a sane person on this earth who’d take the risk of losing someone who looks at them the way Savvy looks at you, man.”
“I was being selfish, not wanting to risk losing such devotion. And besides that, it’s not like she’s just a loyal sub. No. She’s my goddamn wife. My soul mate, man. A sub, I could lose and be all right, find and train another. But the moment I married Savannah… that was it for me. That was the end of everything that came before her. That day wasn’t just our wedding; it was the ceremony signifying that this Dominant would never take on another submissive for the rest of his life.”
He lets out a huff. “Exactly. So I ask again, what the fuck?”
I turn to face him then, really look at him so he can see my sincerity. “That hasn’t changed. None of that has changed. Savvy will be my only sub until the day I die. She’ll be my wife ‘til death do us part. Nothing can stop that from happening, because if you were to take how much she worships me, how utterly, unconditionally devoted that woman is to me, it still would not come close to what I feel for her.”
He starts to shake his head, opening his mouth to argue, but I cut him off. “No. You don’t get it, Abe. I love her so fucking much that I want to spoil her with more pleasure than even I can give her. I want to give her every ounce of happiness, positivity, and bliss I physically am able to give, and then I want her to have so much more. An abundance of ecstasy so profuse she won’t remember what emotional pain even feels like.”
“But you don’t need to do that. You don’t need to let some random asshole fuck your wife so she’ll forget about the stupid texts you sent some horny swingers. She’s clearly already forgiven—”
“I need you to listen closely, because it’s important to me that you get this. That you get me.” I lift a brow, and he nods in acknowledgment. “This need I feel to spoil Savvy with pleasure, it has nothing—absolutely nothing—to do with wanting to even out any sort of scales. I felt this need before there was ever an imbalance.”

**FULL REVIEW**
Since this book is not yet released, you get zero spoilers…but let me just tell you, I have ZERO regrets in reading this story!
Hot factor: OFF THE CHARTS!
Sweetness: Enough that you relate to the realness of Roman and Savannah’s relationship…it’s tender and loving in all the perfectly right ways.
Fun: Oh Yes! And I will add, if you haven’t read a KD Robichaux book before, you’re in for a treat. She’s witty and entertaining but in a way that makes you snort out loud.
Lastly, there could be some triggers. It touches on fantasy between a couple in a D/s relationship, so if that’s not your jam…you’ve been warned.
I cannot wait for you all to read this book—pretty sure it hits your Kindle tomorrow (9/15)!

Just WOW. I don't even know how to find the words for it. Amazing, healing, mind opening. With things that I recently found out about I was sure if I would be able to read this without being triggered. But I love KD's books so I decided to give it a try no matter what. At the beginning I could physically feel the pain and heartbreak Savannah was dealing with and it was hard to continue, but I did. I'm so glad I did. It was healing and eye opening. I absolutely loved it!!!

Whoa
This book was a good exploration of communication and the importance of vigilance in a long term relationship. There’s some great discussion about k!nks and mental health too. A very enjoyable read.

March 4, 2024I just wasn't feeling this at all but I suspect it was a me-thing rather than the book.
The premise of compersion sounded great and it's not often cuckolding is addressed in a positive and non-inflammatory way so I was pretty excited to read XOXO.
I just didn't feel the chemistry between Savannah and Ronan, I thought the relationship with the therapist being part of the BDSM circle and owner of their club was just weird, he seemed to be pushing her to to indulge Ronan's fantasy. And I think overall, I just found the dynamic between Ronan and his bestie to be so much more than Ronan's with Savannah, that it seemed like he should be brought in as a third member of a poly relationship rather than just a one-off f*ck as she loves him too. Plus all that build-up for a pretty anti-climatic cuckolding act.
But maybe that's just me! I'm not rating it because I suspect I've got weird expectations here...!

Not my usual story and definitely not my usual jealous/possessive hero for sure! But I couldn't get this couple out of my head. When I learned the word Compersion, I was fascinated and fell down all sorts of rabbit holes. Everyone knows I'm territorial to a stabby degree, so it was hard to put myself in Roman's shoes at first. But after reading and talking to real people who feel this unique emotion with their partner, and as I continued to jump back into his POV, I understood it.
I'll NEVER feel it, but I definitely GET it LOL
I hope my readers enjoy this different kind of hero. Still super alpha. Still deliciously protective and loving. But the love he has for her and the height of the pedistal he puts his wife on is a-whole-nother level. <3

I love anything to do with club alias🥰😍! So I was stoked to read this book about a couple of members that go there. I love Doc being an important role in this book, seeing things from his notes and his point of view in one chapter makes it that much more special☺️. Getting to see Roman and Savannah’s journey in healing this bump in their marriage was a beautiful thing. Their love for each other and strong pull/connection they have being able to keep that and make it through the tough moments was something🥰❤️. Their spice was out of this world and them fulfilling each others fantasy, damn🥵🤤. I couldn’t have enjoyed it any more and it was so easy not to put down, had me hooked all the way through.

I don’t know if I would consider this a book, it was more of a novella. Only about 3-4 hours depending on how fast you read. I felt like the whole book was a scene it was setting itself up for a bigger scene. Though be warned in the whole novella there was one kink scene and I think they only did the deed less than a handful times since she suspected him of cheating. Trigger warmer-CNC which the author puts that warning in the beginning for you as well which I though was really nice of her. Overall I will be looking up the other books in the series and may look into other things KD has written.

unexpected
Starting out I didn’t think I would enjoy this particular storyline. I had to put it on the back burner for a few months because I was triggered. As someone who has been cheated on both emotionally and physically it was hard to get past. The author really makes me deep dive into my fears and insecurities, but that is a good thing. I can’t wait for the next book she releases.

DNF 65%
I really wanted to like this book. It’s clear as well researched and it’s clear it’s very realistic regarding BDSM but for a spicy romance book at 65% of the way in barely anything sexual has happened. We spent more time talking about the relationship and trust. We actually didn’t do anything that had to do with some spice.

Fantasy roll play
Excellent twist to the club series. Husband and wife fantasy Dom sub play. Expressed, done safely and consensual. Excellent story with a wealth of accurate scene dynamics and boundaries. Excellent, well written. Intelligent and I love the spattered mental illness issues we all will sometimes face. A truly loving story.

Good read
I like her other books in this series & this one is intriguing, provocative & hard to put down just like the rest but I felt like some of the scenes were literally copy/pasted (word for word ) from her other books which was a little disappointing (one less star for that). Overall I liked this series.

3.25 stars
I wished the voyeurism scene that was at the end had happened a lot sooner. The progression to get to that scene seemed to drag this book so, the pacing of the story fell a little flat.
Trigger Warnings: "cheating" and consensual non consent

September 25, 2022KD Robicheaux does it again! And oh boy, Roman and Savannah's story was so spicy and raw and emotional I couldn't put it down! I loved every part of their dynamic and I'm hoping the new character additions will lead to more of the Club Alias series!
September 26, 2022
I have read every club Alias book K.D. has wrote. I think the scenes in this book went a little to fast and could have used some more detail. Dont get me wrong the book was good but compared to the other books in the series this one was missing some in depth detail.

Ummm not quite sure what I just read… the spice was amazing but definitely not a fan of his actions at the beginning though. His overall love for his sub was amazing though
