Plus, maybe for the sick thrill of fucking the guy she's been cheating on her bf with right in front of said boyfriend and without him knowing about this little detail.
Chapter 10 certainly proved that Lena has such an almost sadistic side. That sick thrill is probably the best strategy to persuade Mike as well (or, if she ended their affair because of Ian, as the only way to fuck her again). The way Lena plants the idea makes me think it will have an element of this either way, with Ian as the third wheel—similar to Louise’s role in the threesome in chapter 10.
The main difference between Jeremy and Mike in that sense would probably be that it’s easier to pretend otherwise with Jeremy: If Lena suggests Mike, it would be obvious that it’s because she wants to have sex exactly with him, while Jeremy could be framed as a candidate because he’s Ian’s friend and has a carefree nature.
Your discussion with
dundun also highlights how many variables affect all of this—so I’m thinking Eva might try to write her way around some of those hindrances. Once it’s been hinted at as an upcoming event, it would be a bad idea to only make it available with some extremely specific conditions.
I also agree that Mark could be a candidate. It might be simpler to structure and write, but it would also lack some of the friction it would have with Mike or Jeremy, where there’s a lot of established dynamics in their relationships that can add to the scenes. We’ll see eventually!
There is not really an "another guy" option. Lena only suggests that if she rejects the idea of a threesome. And yes it depends on her choosing "threesome with 2 guys" at Ivy's party. I think Ian always reacting disgusted is king of a writing error if he just did the threesome with Alison and Jeremy though. So I think this threesome will always be FFM.
Thanks. I don’t think I got an option to reject the threesome, but that’s probably down to my previous choices then. It sounds plausible that we’ll first get an FFM threesome, and then the MMF will take some more time.
You’re also right about Louise as a candidate: I didn’t mention her because unlike Holly, Emma and Ivy she mostly has a connection with one of the characters, but as she’s almost like a pet to Lena it would still be very easy to make it happen.
I guess the different alternatives depend on what Eva wants to achieve with it: Emma would just be fun for three equal participants; Holly would also contain some emotional connection and/or help to push her further out of her comfort zone; Louise will be a submissive pet they can use to explore their kinky sides; while Ivy is the one who is likely to take charge herself, and where also Lena might risk becoming the third wheel, if Ivy feels like it and Ian goes along.
