HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 134—The Spotlight
Robin's POVI saw it on Mitchell's Instagram story first.She had screenshotted a headline and sent it to me directly at the same time, a double notification arriving within seconds of each other, and I looked at the preview on my lock screen before I had fully woken up and lay there for a moment letting it settle."Former CEO of Golden Anchor Homes Engaged to Male Partner."Beneath it a photo, one that had been taken without either of us knowing, grainy and slightly out of focus, Christopher and me on the street outside a coffee place we went to on Saturday mornings, his hand at my back in that easy unconscious way he had developed over the months, both of us mid-conversation and entirely oblivious.I put my phone face down on the mattress and looked at the ceiling for a moment.Christopher was already up, I could hear him moving somewhere in the apartment, the particular sounds of a morning routine I had learned by heart over the months, and I lay there in the quiet of the bedroom a
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 133—Yes
Robin's POVI had not seen it coming.That was the thing that stayed with me even as it was happening, the fact that Christopher Hall was on one knee on the floor of our sitting room on a Friday evening with a ring box open in his hand, and I had not seen it coming, not even a little, and the particular shock of that sat alongside everything else I was feeling and made it larger somehow.I looked at him, properly, the way you looked at something you needed to take in completely before you could process it.He looked back at me with an expression I had not seen on him before, not in all the months of this version of us, something stripped entirely of composure, no management left in it, just him, uncertain and certain at the same time in the specific way you were when you had made a decision you were completely sure of and had absolutely no way of knowing if it would be received the way you needed it to be.He had said something. I had heard it and it had gone through me like something
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 132—On One Knee
Christopher's POV I had planned it for a Friday evening. No restaurant, no staged setting, no photographer waiting in a corner somewhere. Robin was not that kind of person and neither was I anymore, if I ever had been. What I wanted was the apartment, our apartment, the space we had built our ordinary life in, because ordinary was not a small thing when you had spent years being denied it. I told Robin on Wednesday that I wanted to cook on Friday, which was not unusual enough to raise suspicion. I cooked maybe once a week, it was something I had discovered I was reasonably good at and genuinely enjoyed, and Robin had long since learned to accept this without making it into an event. On Thursday evening after Robin went to bed I sat at the kitchen table with a glass of water and tried to work out what I was going to say. This turned out to be considerably more difficult than I had anticipated. I was not a person who struggled with language in professional contexts. I had given pr
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 131—The Ring
Christopher's POVThe divorce was finalised on a Wednesday morning.My lawyer sent the confirmation at 9:47 and I read it at my desk at Horizon Homes with a coffee going warm beside me and felt the particular quality of an ending that had been a long time coming, not sharp or painful but clean, the closing of something that should have been closed years ago so that both people involved could get on with actually living.Sophie and I had exchanged no words beyond what the legal process required, and that felt right. There was nothing left to say that would have added anything useful. The settlement had been fair, she had the penthouse and a financial arrangement that reflected the decade she had spent inside a marriage that had asked things of her she had never been properly compensated for, and I hoped she was well.I sent her solicitor a brief professional note and closed my laptop and looked out the window of the Horizon Homes office for a moment, at the grey morning and the street
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 130—Take Me Apart
Robin's POVThe office had started to feel like somewhere real.Three months ago it had been a rented room with folding tables and a whiteboard covered in diagrams that overlapped each other because we kept running out of space. Now there were proper desks, two separate rooms, a small meeting area where we had already hosted four client conversations, and a wall of material samples Mitchell had pinned up in the design corner with the organized precision of someone who knew exactly how she worked best.We had our first signed project, a residential development in the east of the city, mid-range housing with genuine design attention paid to communal spaces, the kind of thing that usually got value-engineered out of existence by the time a developer finished cutting costs. Horizon Homes was not cutting those costs, which was the whole point.Christopher and I had fallen into a rhythm of working that surprised me with how natural it felt.He brought the structural knowledge, the finance f
HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM) Chapter 129—Horizon Homes
Christopher's POV Three months was not a long time, and it was also enough to make the life before it feel like something that had happened to a different person. The Golden Anchor coverage had run for about two weeks before the media found something newer to consume, and in those two weeks I had done nothing except let it run, stay off my phone as much as possible, and work. Not the performed version of working I had spent years inside at Golden Anchor, the version built around visibility and board approval and the constant awareness of who was watching, but the real version, the kind where you put your head down because the problem in front of you is genuinely interesting and the only audience is yourself. The severance had cleared. My personal accounts were untouched. The divorce proceedings were moving through the legal process without drama, Sophie's team and mine working toward a settlement that was fair and neither of us was contesting in bad faith, which was as much as you
