I thought it was by the cover but it wasn’t. They’re two couples but are good friends ig.

And idk about poly cause two of them are siblings.

Im actively ignoring that fact :')
This author seems to have a weird thing about cucking siblings or pseudo incest or however you might call it
I started another of their stories after finishing this one and was more shocked than I had a right to be to encounter the same thing but worse

And, yeah I know they aren't actually poly, just that as a poly person, I liked the dynamic of the really close friendship that breeched boundaries that a normal friendship wouldn't. I've had romantic relationships in the past that were physical and emotionally intimate but not sexual, even though that person was sexually active with another partner.

I did say it was probably projection for a reason, because I'm both polyamorous and aro-spec so boundaries between friendship and romance look quite blurry to me, so especially a close friendship like this between couples where they are so openly intimate with their respective partners in front of each other (plus the fact that doing it in front of the the others seems to add to the feelings of excitement or intimacy in a lot of ways)
Again all of it feels very poly-dynamic ish but it's probably just me

Unfortunately you now have my thinking about dating in relation to my sibling (because I have a couple that are also polyamorous)

I could never date someone who is also in a relationship with or is interested in one of my siblings. But if I had a partner, who was interested in my sibling's partner I might be okay with them having a relationship and still being involved. But i could also see that easily being a situation where I would feel like I could no longer be involved in that relationship because the idea of sharing a dating pool with one of my siblings sounds uncomfortable to say the least

This is a weird thing that I've never had to think about and kind of wish I never did.

Yeah saw your other reply to me and agreed! I personally would never have sex in the same room as my brother and his partner, it’s just weird and a turn off. Imagine being in a poly relationship with your brother? It has happened in real life so I’m not exactly surprised but still disgusting.
