The Contract Omega( MXM Romance)
Caelen added the second page, then the third, until all evidence of our contractual beginning was turning to ash.
"That's our past," I said, watching the last page blacken and disintegrate. "The contract that brought us together but doesn't define us anymore."
"And this…" Caelen held up his right hand, the new ring catching firelight. "...this is our future. Chosen freely. Built on love instead of necessity."
We made love slowly that night, in front of the dying fire, with no child to interrupt or medical trauma to process or contractual obligations hanging over us. Just two people who had chosen each other, repeatedly and intentionally, despite every reason not to.
