-One month post 513-

The house still stands, in all its opulent quiet grandeur, with the swimming pool and the stables.

I bought it on a whim; just like deciding to sell the club and the loft and just like I bought the rings. It was purely on impulse, and something I thought I could never do, something I thought I would never do.

But I did.

To prove it to him.

To prove I wasn't hiding from my feelings anymore. To prove to him I would do anything for him. To prove to him how much I love him.

Then we decided we didn't have to prove anything to each other, and that we wouldn't sacrifice who we were just to please each other. We decided we had to let each other go for a while.

I apparently discovered that letting another random trick suck me off only to return to my empty loft alone wasn't my idea of fun anymore. That was more cruel than any 'sacrifice.' I tried to be that carefree stud, not bound by commitment, no strings attached, but soon enough I figured out that wasn't me.

I didn't end up selling the club, my loft, or the house.

I kept the rings.

He sounded more miserable than accomplished with each phone call. That wasn't him.

It broke my heart.

I found myself enjoying our nightly Skype sessions about redecorating our country house and toying with the idea of converting the stable into a huge art studio. It didn't even make my dick soft... quite the opposite in fact.

The house stood there, like a sleeping beauty kept waiting for it's prince.

He kept reminding me how I called him My Prince each time we reluctantly ended yet another session and went offline. I had to admit it was so ridiculously romantic back then, but If I had to do it all again, I wouldn't have changed a word. I can't take those words back, nor what I felt that night in the vast, empty living room. I loved rolling the words off my tongue, feeling their sweetness, their warmth.

He was my prince.

I was his knight in shining armor.

Or was he mine?

The house still stands.

So do we.

With those same rings, we're about to wed.

Here.

Just the two of us and a minister.

Amid the grandeur of our house, under the chestnut tree.

We've lived here for the past nine years in unholy union. In bliss.

So why now?

Because it feels right.

Because I want to.

because I can.

Because it makes both of us happy.

Because I'll always love him.


Because my offer still stands.
