Jake has a Friday night ritual of dinner, wine, and cards with his friends Julian and Natalie. Somewhere along the way he fell in love with both of them. He hasn't been able to figure out how to communicate his desire without the risk of losing the friendship he has with the couple.

Tonight is the night, Valentine's Day. He purchased an amethyst necklace for Natalie and he's going to figure out how to tell them he wants to deepen their three-way relationship if he doesn't chicken out.

While talking himself out of the confession he hears Natalie say, "We'll play a round of spades and the winner gets to fuck me." Julian smiled before he added, "And I get to fuck the loser." His smile broadened as he looked Jake in the eye. "Does that about cover where you wanted to go, Jake?"
