Borrowed Outfit Permanent Consequences: Part 2
Sam's scheme to infiltrate his girlfriend's "girls-only" Halloween party was supposed to be a tactical mission, but the rehearsal into his mom's dress, panties, bra, slip, tights, heels, and accessories led to a problem when his sister's knock shatters the fantasy. Forced to shed the unauthorized outfit, Sam scrambles into the only camouflage available: some of his mom's gym wear. The irony of his "disguise" snaps shut when his sister, Mia, weaponizes his accidental passing; instead of exposing him, she coerces him into a terrifying public performance, demanding he inhabit the very identity he just stole--sweat stains and all--to smuggle her past a gym front desk.

Baby Girl Blues: Chapter 3 Baby Girl Blues #3
Riley's "temporary" journey into babyhood starts to feel like a one-way slide, and he knows it. At first, Riley clings to the idea that this is just immersive training, that one day he'll step back into his old life as her husband... but every choice he makes, from pajamas to more formal outfits, pulls him deeper into the role of a baby girl. The more natural the pacifier feels in his mouth, the more right it feels when she plans his diapers and outfits, the shakier the word "temporary" becomes. What happens when the baby girl Rachel is creating is the one she loves too much to ever let return to be her husband? Note: Apologies for the long delay between segments. Hope everyone is well. To answer any questions, yes, Riley is a little dumb but I would say more oblivious. It's necessary to help move the story along. Also, he will become physically and mentally a baby. I'll try and get something continued for the beach vacation story...

The Bump and the Bluff
What started as a small white lie -- a faked story to unlock a family inheritance -- was never supposed to go this far. But six months later, Alex finds himself sitting in front of a camera, cradling a growing belly that isn't his... but feels like it is. With his body softened by hormones, reshaped by surgery, and his mind altered gently by suggestions planted previously, he doesn't just look like Dylan's expectant wife--he moves like her, feels like her, acts like her. And as the photographer watches from behind the lens, lines blur between the role they built and the reality they're slipping into. The photos are for show. The ring is fake. The bump isn't. How will they react when Dylan's parents decide to show up for the 'final stretch?' They were supposed to fake a family. But what if they accidentally made one?

Baby Girl Blues Baby Girl Blues #1
When Rachel and Riley learn they're expecting a daughter, nerves run high. Enter Dr. Evelyn Monroe--Riley's mother and an expert in child development--who proposes a radical experiment: Riley will regress to experience babyhood himself. Only twist? He'll do it as a girl. Cue flashbacks of Riley's hilariously convincing past disguises (cheerleader routines, bridesmaid dresses) that prove he's got a knack for inhabiting a new identity. But becoming a baby girl is unlike anything he's tried before. Throughout the story, tensions mount as they gather diapers, baby clothes, and attempt smaller "test runs," all while Riley's confidence teeters between excitement and dread. He isn't actually a baby yet, but each step brings him closer to wearing pink sleepers and calling his wife "Mommy", perhaps permanently. Filled with anticipation and the looming promise of a dramatic transformation, this is a tale of the lengths people go to prepare for parenthood--and the unexpected discoveries they make about themselves along the way.

Riley finds himself navigating the complex emotions of a cozy evening spent with Rachel, where a simple movie night becomes a trial of inner conflict.

Riley grapples with a growing sense of discomfort as he is pressured into adopting a persona that feels increasingly foreign to him. Dressed in an overly feminine outfit for an audition, Riley's inner turmoil rises as he struggles with the twirling skirt, tight tights, and overwhelming fragrance--all symbols of a role he's expected to play. His journey of self-discovery intertwines with the gentle yet insistent voice of Katie, who pushes him to consider whether his identity is truly his own or a mask he's losing control of. As doubts surface and his own will weakens, Riley is left questioning whether he can escape the persona he's being molded into--or if, deep down, he's already become it. This narrative weaves together themes of identity, control, and internal conflict, drawing the reader into Riley's intense struggle for autonomy.
