Good Men Don T Need Rules Novels & Stories

He spreads his arms along the back like he’s claiming territory. “Should I be taking notes on this legislation?” “Rule one: no women. Period. End of discussion.” “Already jealous? We’ve been roommates for twelve hours.” I ignore his smirk. “Rule two: no unauthorized exits. Rule three: no mysterious phone calls. Rule four: no suspicious meetings. This apartment is now Fort Knox.” He stretches his legs out, all lazy confidence and dangerous muscle. “That’s actually three separate rules, but who’s counting?” “Rule five: keep your hands off my belongings.”

“Let me talk to him. Just give me five minutes to talk to him.” “Bronx, listen. We all care about you and love you. You’re not just my big brother. You are like a brother to Reggie and Milo. The rest of your unit, too. All of them are committed to going through therapy and putting in the work so they can get back to their lives and be proud, productive members of this pack. You’re the only one who seems to think the rules don’t apply to you. Honestly, that blows my fucking mind, because I’ve never seen you break a rule in my life.”

Jewel Rivers hated nothing more than having to turn back. If she left something behind, she would move on without it. If she took a wrong turn, she kept going. She said, "Turning back is a waste of time. The only way is forward." She even drove right past me without stopping one night after I had worked late. I texted her, "I just saw your car drive by. Can you turn around and pick me up?" Three minutes later, she replied, "Rules are rules. I don't turn back. Take a cab home yourself." - The next day was our eighth anniversary. We had planned to go to the nearby theme park together. Twenty minutes after we set out, my close friend, Jason Smith, sent a message in the group chat

“And you say that why?” He looked me up and down, as he took his time to analyse each detail on me. The corporate tailoring, the fact that I wasn't wearing a mask. The cluelessness of me not even knowing where I walked into. “I’d suggest you leave, now. The men in here… they ruin women like you. And you’ve got innocence written all over you.” I almost laughed. Innocent? He saw the professional blazer, what he didn't see was the twenty-six years of inexperience. He didn't see the girl who had guarded her reputation like a prize to be awarded for.

Eyes closed. “Mama,” Alex said. Not sleeping. “Yeah.” “Did I do right,” Alex said. _Silence. Bedroom. 9:04 PM._ “Yeah,” I said. “You did right.” “How do you know,” Alex said. “Because you didn’t break Rule 1,” I said. “You kept Rule 5 without breaking home. That’s crew. That’s adult. That’s you.” _Silence. 9:05 PM._ “Good,” Alex said. Eyes closing. “Because I don’t want to break home. Home is 7. And 8. And always.”

In races, fights, life — fear gets you killed. Rule 5: Never start a fight. Count to ten. Walk away. Breathe. But once the first punch lands? Rule 3 applies. Rule 6: Fuck and leave. I never bring a girl home. That’s what hotels are for. No sleepovers. No cuddling. No breakfast conversations where I pretend to remember their name. No drama. I make the terms clear upfront. Efficient. Clean. Necessary. Rule 7: No condom, no sex. Money and fame breed insanity, especially in women. I’ve seen girls try to steal used condoms, spit cum from their mouths into containers, and punch holes into condoms. Like getting pregnant is a winning lottery ticket. Not happening.

He nodded at me and muttered something along the lines like we will earn your trust. "Okay so the rules are 1) I don't want any back talking, And 2) you have to respect all your brothers. 3) you should not swear. 4) no drinking and drugs. 5) you are not allowed to have a boyfriend 6) you have to tell us every time when you go somewhere." His rules are reasonable.

a more elderly man agreed until they were all talking angrily amongst themselves. “Gentleman, Gentleman!" I called. “Edric was a cruel man indeed, but does that mean we repay him with the same cruelty? He has been merciless to me among many during his rule, but I will NOT allow any man to starve into a slow and painful death, no matter his crimes. That is not who we are, and we will not respond to ruthlessness with that of our own! We WILL be better than that. Better than the example he led by.” I waited a moment before I continued to allow what I said to sink in and to watch the response on their faces. But so far, it seemed they all understood my reasoning.

“And if I don't come home by that time?” I smirked back. “You'll be locked out of the entire house. I wonder what the media will say if you're seen coming out of a hotel early in the morning. TSK.” His eyes narrowed. “Rule 2: For every woman you bring to me, I bring a man. We both have desires that should be satiated.” “Don't test me!” he hisses. “I have been patient with you, Savannah, but don't test me.” I ignore him. “Rule 3: If you do whatever you want in this house, I can too. That comes with decorations and everything else.”

Without warning, he shifted closer, closing the space between us until I could feel his presence press into mine. "While we're still on good terms," he said calmly, "there are a few things you need to understand." I turned to look at him. "Like what?" "The rules," he said simply. "There are five." I blinked. "Rules?" He smiled, but there was nothing soft about it. "First," he said, voice firm, "you don't talk to other men unless I say you can." "Second, don't test my patience. I don't handle disobedience well."
