He didn’t like being in the spotlight—I knew that—but give a man a break. If you looked like that and threw yourself at me, you better accept some eye-fucking too.
Little Did We Know was a perfect, steamy treat filled with banter, budding friendships and heat. I can never get enough of the Mclean House community and this origin story was everything I could have hoped for!
I loved seeing the younger versions of the founders, and how they all found their way into each other’s lives. It was fun to see their relationships unfold and their shared frustration over DC’s kink scene and communities. Some of them were a little rougher around the edges, but the banter and friendships between them was very familiar. The group play was super steamy, and seeing Lucian and Reese trying to get Lucas to beg? So hot!
It was great being back in this world – Mclean House is easily my favourite kink community, and I really enjoyed the glimpses of the characters’ pasts. If you haven’t read the Game series yet, this is the perfect starting point. The whole series is amazing, and I can’t recommend it enough!
“At long last, we meet the only man who’s made Lucas beg,” he said.
I coughed around a laugh and side-eyed Luke. Only man, huh?
“For chrissakes, Greer,” he chastised. “His ego is already the size of this house.”
