Manties in a Twist

Look, I'll never stop missing Hal, but this Subs Club my friends started to review suck-ass doms isn't gonna bring him back or give him justice. For me, it's just another chance to hang out with my friends, even if they think I'm too dumb to understand the important work we're supposedly doing.

But maybe I'm not as dumb as they think—at least I know when I've got a good thing going. Which is why I just moved in with my dom. Ryan's awesome possum. He's really short, never makes me feel stupid, and is up for anything. One word: costumes. Two more words: women's underwear. We're all about the lace, no leather.

Except when we do pony play. We first tried it as a joke, but turns out I'm ballin' at it. Now PetPlayFest is coming up, and I wanna take down the Subs Club's archrival, Cinnamon the ponygirl, in the horse show.

My friends think I'm spending too much time with Ryan and ignoring my obligations to the group. But since when is friendship an obligation? Ryan's my first serious relationship, and I want to take it . . . seriously. At some point I need to think about my future, not my past.
