When We Played the Game
The most exquisite meals can satisfy hungers you didn't know you had.
AMBER
I've been happily married to Sean for seven years, and we've always been honest about our attractions. But when we accept a dinner invitation from Julian, a charismatic chef with a reputation for exclusivity, something shifts between us. What begins as harmless flirtation evolves into a game of desire that exposes needs I never knew I had—and cravings Sean has kept hidden even from himself.
Three willing explorers.
SEAN
I never expected to want more with a man. But watching Julian with my wife awakens something primal in me—not jealousy, but curiosity. When Julian's skilled hands and commanding presence turn toward me, I discover a side of myself I never acknowledged. With Amber's encouragement and Julian's patient guidance, I surrender to my desires.
JULIAN
As a chef, I've always been selective about what—and who—I invite into my life. When I host Amber and Sean for dinner, I'm drawn to their chemistry, the trust they've built together. What begins as a carefully orchestrated evening becomes and unexpected genuine connection. For the first time, I'm considering making room at my table permanently.
One Amazing Night.
As boundaries blur and walls come down, we discover that sometimes the most unexpected connections are the ones that feel most like home.

Sean and Amber are a sexy married couple who are open and clear with each other. However, they are both interested in the charismatic Chef Julian. They are really delighted by him.

Exceptional account about how chef Julian coaches Amber and Sean into an intimate menage with double penetration: “Let me be direct. I find you both incredibly attractive, individually and as a couple. The chemistry between you is palpable, and I’d like to explore that further, if you’re both interested...This is about pleasure—yours, mine, ours collectively. If at any point either of you wants to stop or slow down, just say so. No explanations needed...I’m selective about who I invite into my home and my bed.”
Sean: What surprises me is that my arousal isn’t despite Julian touching my wife—it’s because of it. The realization is both jarring and liberating...I close my eyes as his lips meet mine. His kiss is nothing like I expected. It’s firm but not forceful, confident without being aggressive. His scruffy jaw creates a friction that’s entirely new and unexpectedly arousing.
When his tongue slides against mine, I hear myself groan. Julian’s hand tightens on my knee, sliding upward to my thigh. The kiss deepens, and I find myself responding with growing enthusiasm, my initial hesitation melting away.
Sean has always been a great lover, and Julian and he together are like gods in the bedroom. Double the pleasure, double the fun. I’m going to be singing their praises for days.
We shower together in Julian’s luxurious shower, stealing kisses and touches as we move around each other. There’s none of the awkwardness I might have expected—just a comfortable warmth that feels both new and somehow familiar.
“This felt like...I don’t know, like something clicked into place.” Julian studies us both. “I felt it too. I’ve been with couples before, but this was different. There was a connection between all three of us that I wasn’t expecting.”
“Last night and this morning...it wasn’t just about physical pleasure. There was something else happening between us.”
I watch them together, still amazed at how seamlessly I’ve fit into their dynamic. What began as a unexpected connection during that dinner party has evolved into something none of us expected but all of us needed.
The synchronicity of our movements comes from months of practice of the three of us learning to move together like a kitchen crew during a flawless dinner service.
“Come together,” I encourage them. The pressure builds, a crescendo of sensation and emotion that threatens to overwhelm me. The connection between us transcends the physical. It’s like we’re three bodies moving as one.
“It’s like we found a piece we didn’t know was missing.” The simple truth of his statement resonates deeply. What began as physical exploration has evolved into something far more profound. It’s a connection that continues to surprise and delight us all.

When You Played the Game: A First Time MMF Bi-Awakening Story
This was such an engaging and steamy read — equal parts emotional discovery and sizzling chemistry. The bi-awakening element was handled with care and authenticity, making the characters’ journey feel both relatable and passionate. You can really feel the tension, confusion, and excitement as boundaries blur and something real begins to form between them.
The chemistry among all three characters was electric, and I loved how the author explored vulnerability and curiosity without judgment. It wasn’t just about the spice (though there’s plenty of that 🔥); it was also about identity, trust, and learning what love and desire can look like when labels fall away.
My only minor critique is that I wish the story had gone a bit deeper into the emotional aftermath — it wrapped up a little quickly for how intense the build-up was. Still, it’s a heartfelt, sexy, and beautifully written story of self-discovery and connection.
Verdict: A spicy, emotionally satisfying MMF bi-awakening story that balances heat with heart. Perfect for readers who enjoy exploration, vulnerability, and undeniable chemistry.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, steamy quick read. I love MMF romance with bi-awakening for the husband.
'I turn to look at him, finding his expression open and thoughtful. “No regrets about exploring this side of yourself?”
“None,” he says firmly. “It’s like finding a room in my house I never knew existed. A really, really pleasurable room.”
I loved Julian, Sean, and Amber. The chemistry between the three of them was scorching, and I liked Julian in control of the couple, but everything was balanced and consensual.
'Whatever happens next, I know one thing for certain… I was right, none of us will ever be quite the same after this weekend.
And I couldn’t be happier about it.'
This is the first story I've read by this author and I would read more. 4 stars

It’s Okay, But No Tension?
The couple is invited for a dinner at a well known chef’s house. The dinner is with a couple of other guests, but there’s obvious connection between the host and our couple.
As the other guests leave our group gets down to business. We read about sex of many kinds between all variations of the three of them.
Yes there are many erotic episodes described, between any and all of them. That’s wonderful, but with no stress it seems too simple, too strange.
Losing that tension makes it less than fulfilling.

This was a delightfully sexy little novella. Sean, Amber and Julian make for a great throuple. The book is low on plot, and very, very high on heat. It’s a perfect little break from more involved, intense reads. The writing flows well and the chemistry between the three characters is scorching. Recommended.

I didn’t even know I had this kink, but I loved reading this. And now I want to read more. Very, very spicy, good writing, and well paced erotic short.
