HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 150—Where I Belong (Epilogue)
Christopher's POV Five years later, my life looks nothing like it once did. The house is louder. Messier. There are shoes by the front door that are not mine or Robin's, small ones, left at angles that suggest they were removed in a hurry by people with more interesting things to do than align their footwear. There is a drawing on the refrigerator held up by three magnets, a family of four rendered in crayon with proportions that are medically implausible and entirely accurate in every way that matters. There are toys in the hallway and a small handprint on the wall beside the kitchen door that we noticed three weeks ago and have not been able to bring ourselves to paint over. I used to live in a penthouse that looked like it had been designed to be photographed. Every surface considered, every room performing a particular version of a life. I remember moving through it and feeling the particular loneliness of a person in a space that had been built for an image rather than an exis
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 149—My Husband's Perfect Hole
Robin's POVThe destination was a small island off the southern coast, the kind of place that existed at a remove from the pace of everything we had left behind, warm and unhurried and entirely indifferent to anything happening on the mainland.Christopher had done well.The villa sat on a low cliff above the water, private and simply furnished, with a terrace that caught the evening light and a view of the sea that did what good views did, made everything feel proportionate. No neighbours visible. No obligations. Just the two of us and the sound of the water and however many days we had decided to give ourselves.We spent the first two days doing almost nothing of consequence, which was exactly right.We walked the coastal path in the mornings, the kind of walking that had no destination and no pace requirement, stopping when something was worth stopping for, a particular view or a village with a bakery that smelled the way bakeries in places like this always smelled, and Christopher
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 148—Takeoff
Christopher's POV We stayed at the venue until the last guests had left, which was later than we had planned and exactly the right amount of time. The evening had moved the way good evenings moved when nobody was watching the clock, the dinner long and unhurried, the conversation between tables drifting and settling and drifting again, and at some point the formal structure of it had dissolved entirely and it had simply become a gathering of people who were glad to be in the same room together. Grandma Rose had stayed until nearly eleven, which I knew because she was the kind of person who left precisely when she intended to and not a moment before or after, and the embrace she had given me at the door had said everything her speech had left unsaid. My mother had left earlier, quietly, with a brief touch of my arm and an expression that I understood and did not try to make into more than it was. It was a beginning. That was enough. *** We had one night back in the apartment befor
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 147—What She Carried
Robin's POVThe ceremony was short and entirely right.Christopher and I had written our own words, which I had known intellectually for weeks and had underestimated emotionally until I was standing in front of the registrar listening to him say them, and I had not made it through without my voice doing something I had not fully authorised it to do. Christopher had held my hands through all of it, steady and certain, and when the registrar pronounced us married he had looked at me with the expression I had come to think of as purely his, the one that was not performed for any audience, and I had looked back and felt the full weight of the distance between where we had started and where we were standing.The room had been quiet in the way rooms were quiet when something real had just happened in them.Then Mitchell had begun to clap first, because of course she had, and the room had followed, and the warmth of it was the particular warmth of people who were genuinely glad rather than
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 146—They Came
Christopher's POV The morning of the wedding was quiet in the particular way that significant days sometimes were, not the silence of emptiness but the silence of something gathering itself, the world holding still for a moment before it moved. I was ready before Robin, which surprised neither of us, and I sat in the sitting room in my suit with a coffee I was not really drinking and looked at the room we had made together over the past months, the books on the shelves and the particular disorder of two people living honestly in a space, and felt something move through me that did not have a clean name but was close to gratitude. Robin appeared from the bedroom and I stood without thinking. He was wearing what we had decided on together, simple and well-fitted and entirely him, and the sight of him ready, actually ready, on this actual morning, landed differently than I had anticipated, the way the real version of things always landed differently than the imagined version. We loo
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 145—A Closed Chapter
Sophie's POV The invitation arrived on a Thursday morning, slipped through the letterbox with the rest of the post, and I almost missed it among the bills and the usual envelopes. But it was heavier than the others, the card stock substantial and deliberate, and when I turned it over and saw Christopher's handwriting on the front I stood in the hallway of the penthouse for a long moment before I opened it. I carried the invitation to the kitchen and made coffee and sat down and opened it properly. It was short and simply worded and warm in the way Christopher had always been warm when he was being genuine rather than performing warmth for an occasion. He was getting married. He and Robin. A small ceremony, close people only. He hoped I would come. I sat with it for a long time. The emotions it produced were not simple and I did not try to make them simple, because flattening complicated feelings into something tidier was something I had done too much of for too many years and I
