In Viscus Veritas

By Mary Cyn

Love doesn't fade.

Love is written into the flesh. To the bone.

But is that deep enough?

Brogan and Verity found each other as children, then lost each other. After a chance encounter brings them together again, can they find what they might have had?

A bittersweet, aching tale of love never forgotten from Mary Cyn, author of The Bridesmaid Always Comes Twice, My Delicate Ariel, Trick or Treat, and My Lolita. 

Extract:

Longing eats him like a cancer. A longing that sometimes wears her face. He's dreamt of her since childhood. Like Heathcliff or Gatsby or that schmuck from Great Expectations. He'd left her though and when he saw her, 17 and faintly pressing the edge of adulthood, he'd seen her from a distance. He clutched his distance like a coat against bitter wind, fearing her. Fearing the death of his dream. How could she, all flesh and blood and fiery human will be the boyhood fantasy he'd treasured for years? The ghost of his fantasy beckoned from within her. She had the same deep little girl eyes. The same slender, nail tipped, hands. The same sharp boots and heartbreaker viciousness that had busted the shins and hearts of the schoolyard boys.

The second time he'd seen her, when she was a woman of 22, he couldn't stay away. She'd caught him completely by surprise, though he was pretty sure the feeling was mutual. He sat in a dive bar waiting for his roommate, Sam, to show up. His roommate was bringing a friend of his, a one-time fuck buddy who'd moved to New York. She'd walked in on Sam's arm, faintly familiar and undeniably hot. Her red hair fell past her shoulders, her darkly painted lips shined against her pale skin. She wore a summer dress and wholly impractical shoes, their high heels made of clear plastic so she seemed to always hover on tiptoe.

Mary Cyn

In addition to being a writer and a classically trained actress, Miss Mary Cyn is the sweetly debaucherous darling of the New York burlesque scene. Sexy and nerdy, creative and wacky, Miss Mary Cyn is known for doings acts that surprise, inspire and arouse. She is the founder and co-producer of Original Cyn, New York’s craziest burlesque show. She’s also co-producer and member of Epic Win Burlesque, burlesque FOR nerds, BY nerds. Her production company, The Cyn Factory, is bringing a fun blend of theatre, burlesque, art, and partying to New York City — and the rest of the Northeast. She has performed for private parties, music videos and special events and can be seen all over the city in shows like Hotsy Totsy, Kitty Nights and The Slipper Room. Under the name Alithea Howes, her published writing includes “Trick or Treat,” a story in the paranormal anthology Three’s a Charm, as well as My Lolita, her exploration of Vladimir Nabakov’s masterpiece from the titular heroine’s point of view, and her new piece of Shakespeare-inspired erotica, My Delicate Ariel. With Stillpoint/Eros, she will be releasing a series of stories about the nuptial-related adventures of the self-styled Kat McKinney, Wedding Slut. Other steamy stories that she is developing range from a romantic tale of long-lost love and international intrigue to explorations of the joys, the pains (fun and not), and the amusements of polyamory, powerplay, and living a lifestyle that doesn’t conform to convention.
