'M' is For: [Ch16] The Harder They Fall - Part 3
Despite my resolution to stay on the sidelines, I found myself rising to my feet and starting forward before my mind fully caught up with what was happening.“Missy, what are you doing?” I said, the words bursting out of me. “You know that Thomas…” I stopped, seeing the wild expression on T...

Be careful when unicorn hunting, or you may find the unicorn hunting you.
'M' is For: [Ch16] The Harder They Fall - Part 2
I got my drink after that, a birthday special named after Missy and concocted by the bartender for tonight. The alcohol helped take a little of the edge off, and I found myself starting to relax. I returned to the bar for a second drink once I’d drained my first. As I walked across the room, I cou...
'M' is For: [Ch16] The Harder They Fall - Part 1
Warning: This chapter contains some darker themes, including abuse.-----Alex showed up at Missy’s apartment in a burgundy velvet blazer. With his tousled dark curls and heavy rings, he looked like a lost rockstar, or a mildly dangerous gothic vampire that had wandered off a television set. I bit b...
'M' is For: [Ch15] Salvation in Sin - Part 2
Looking around, I could see what Sharon meant about the space. It wasn’t exactly on a level with Missy’s sweeping penthouse apartment with its floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning views, but it wasn’t trying to be, either. The space was an expansive suite, with a small little kitchenette and ...

Bringing it back old-school... Am stuck in the countryside with a dead tablet and no working charger, so it'll be pencils for the next week or so!
'M' is For: [Ch15] Salvation in Sin - Part 1
One early Saturday morning, I headed out to the local supermarket to buy my weekly groceries. Despite the hour, the supermarket was already busy with people. I was focused on my shopping list, doing my best to avoid the jostle of mothers with their children, when I heard from behind me, “Mallory?â...

'M' is For: [Ch14] Blood in the Cut - Part 2
Finally, the holidays arrived. I went back home for Christmas and did my best approximation of someone who was happy and thriving. Jenny was traveling for a friend’s wedding, or she might have called me out on it, but my parents and brother were none the wiser. When my mom grudgingly asked about T...

After the last illustration, kept the theme going with another vintage ad! I wonder what other useful products the Ladies Who Lunch Company might sell...
'M' is For: [Ch14] Blood in the Cut - Part 1
The Saturday after we got back, Missy threw an informal gathering at her apartment for ‘just the girls.’ Kiara, Danielle and I went to Missy’s apartment after grabbing dinner together, and I was glad to have the distraction of their company. I didn’t want to think about what expression I’d...
'M' is For: [Ch13] Lover's Folly - Part 3
It took less than twenty minutes for the drug to kick in. Thomas held me gently, nuzzling my hair, as the room shifted and the colors became just a little deeper. Sensation bloomed across my skin so that a gentle touch on my shoulder made my whole arm tingle. A heat was gathering between my legs lik...
'M' is For: [Ch13] Lover's Folly - Part 2
Dinner that night was at a nearby Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. It had been around since I could remember, a favorite for post-high school events and birthday parties. I made my parents swear not to tell the restaurant that it was my birthday, though. I would have withered under the embarrassm...

'M' is For: [Ch13] Lover's Folly - Part 1
It felt odd to be back in the familiar confines of my house, still cluttered with the ephemera of my childhood, and to feel so different. All around the house, Mom had already started to decorate for Christmas, swapping out the pillows, hand towels, and throw-blankets and festooning every conceivabl...

'M' is For: [Ch12] Careful What You Wish For - Part 2
Missy’s birthday celebration for me started out normally enough. We skipped barre and met up at a restaurant near Missy’s apartment for dinner. Most everyone I knew, like Kiara, Danielle, James, and of course, Thomas. But Missy also brought along a new guy she had picked up named Bryan. He remin...
'M' is For: [Ch12] Careful What You Wish For - Part 1
Mixed up the scheduling dates, so this one is coming out a little later than usual! Thanks for your patience. -Y------Over the two weeks that Missy and Thomas were gone in Spain, the old barre crew were left to our own devices. Adrienne had stopped coming out, presumably busy with other, more import...

'M' is For: [Ch11] Sweet Little Lies - Part 4
Edward's place was a fifteen minute walk from the restaurant. The warm summer air was balm on my skin after the frigid indoor air, and I tilted my head back ever so slightly to enjoy the breeze as we waited for the light at a crosswalk."How did I never know you lived so close to Missy?" ...
'M' is For: [Ch11] Sweet Little Lies - Part 3
Mid-morning the next day, after I had settled into my second cup of coffee, I heard a little cough. I looked up to see Kathy the receptionist, peering down at me from behind a massive bouquet of flowers."These just came in for you," Kathy said. "From your boyfriend?""I don't ...

Thomas must have seen the look on my face, because he quickly said, "Let me call Pauline. She can let us in." He pulled out his phone, pressing it to his ear.I waited, my heart thumping in my chest. I could faintly hear the sound of the ringing as Thomas's call went unanswered."What?...

Lenore did so love her puppies...Ended up using 3D modeling to help figure out the angles on this one. I might do a few more drawings of this very delectable situation.

Meanwhile, I hadn't forgotten Thomas's suggestion that I write my own articles. It took me several months to finish up my first drafts, and even longer of sitting on them before I finally took the plunge and began to submit them. I had drawn up for myself a short-list of publications that we...
'M' is For: [Ch10] Of Wolves and Sheep - Part 2
Manhattan in hand, it wasn't too hard to find Missy. She'd dismissed Jacob and was now relaxing up against a naked Thomas on the loveseat. A few individuals sat on the floor at her feet and off to her side on the adjacent furniture, paying court to their queen."If it isn't my sweet M...

'M' is For: [Ch10] Of Wolves and Sheep - Part 1
By the time October came around, I could recognize almost everyone who came to Missy's parties. Sharon was right about it being a small circle. I hadn't seen her since the first party, and I missed her refreshing directness. Still, I'd found others in Missy's crowd who were always re...
