A good marriage is built on love, trust and kink...James and Amanda have been together for fourteen happy, playful kinky years. That's the way they both like it, and neither feels there's anything missing, until one day, a typical scene morphs into something atypical - humiliation play.They've never played with this kink before, but it was shockingly hot, and satisfying in a way their more playful scenes aren't. They're both excited to try something new after so many years together, but James is leading his beloved wife and submissive into uncharted territory where their comfort zone will be stretched and their bond tested...It will take all the love and trust they've built over fourteen years to survive The Shame Game.CONTENT WARNINGS:General CW:This is a BDSM romance, and while it includes many common BDSM elements (spanking, bondage, deliberate infliction of pain for sexual pleasure, etc.) it specifically explores a kink known as Erotic Humiliation. While these themes may be uncomfortableor triggering for some, I want to assure you, my valued readers, that James and Amanda's journey of discovery is made with care and love, and with the full and enthusiastic consent of all parties. And while the emotional stakes of exploring a new kink are always high, this book was written to be a low angst, high heat journey that ultimately strengthens and enriches an already established relationship between two people who love each other deeply.I was so focused on the kink-related warnings, I neglected to mention that there is also brief mention of parental and spousal abonnement (occurs in the past, off the page). I apologize for the oversight.Specific CW with possible spoilers:James and Amanda decide to explore erotic humiliation through some specific types of scenes, which include:Dehumanization - which they explore through puppy playBeing on display - this involves a scene with Amanda strapped to a medical table, at a public play party, and involves a fucking machineObjectification - where James treats Amanda as an object there solely for his pleasureVerbal humiliationThey take specific care not to include degradation in these scenes, but while nothing they do is degrading to them, your milage may vary. If you have any triggers around humiliation, I recommend you tread carefully. And as always, please feel free to contact me directly if you'd like further information.
