Epilogue
EWEN
Life has been so different yet so amazing to say the least. After everything that happened, I knew I couldn’t stay in the priesthood.
Not only because I was in love but because I was meant for something different.
I still had my faith, but I now had more questions than answers. Questions I never allowed merit before.
I received my official notice from my laicization last month.
The new Bishop Sandoval was very kind and helpful.
He questioned my reasoning when I first requested the laicization but once I said I was in love he accepted and helped with the process.
I’m still ordained but I won’t be preaching in front of a congregation anymore.
Mother Helen has become a dear friend of mine.
We meet once a week for Bingo. She apologized to me for being so cold.
I told her I fully understood, nor did I even think she was cold.
Since becoming friends, I understand her more.
She’s been a nun since her teen years. Giving her life to God and the church.
I never knew Bishop Wilson was corrupt. He was outed after the kidnapping as being a conspirator.
He quickly left Boston. She had seen more than she ever told.
When she caught me and Declan that day she thought I was just as corrupt as him, using the church for personal gain.
I decided to put all my knowledge of theology to use and am in school to get my masters.
I plan to one day be a professor. I have always loved being able to talk about history and the beginning of religion.
Religion and I are on loose terms with one another.
I don’t agree with some of it. I don’t believe it all anymore.
But I still believe in God and that He truly does love us all.
I have been working part-time at Murphy’s with Fiona. It helps me feel like I’m contributing and gets me out of the house more often.
I’ve also become the one person I never thought I would be. A person in love. I love Declan with every fiber of my being. We spend all our free time with each other. Talking, fucking, laughing.
Every day I wake up and smile because I live the life I once dreamt of. Declan is my everything. I never shy away from telling him what I want. I instigate a lot of our sex these days. I can’t get enough of him. Some days we do nothing but get lost in each other.
Declan even became a softy for Beocca. He spoils the cat so much he cuddles with him most nights when we’re lounging around on the couch.
The house, or the old factory, is our home.
We’ve been rebuilding my vinyl collection, and I’ve become a collector of first edition history books I love.
I was never one to have many belongings when I was a priest, but now I love the joy of having things to fill our home with.
“Babe, I’m home,” I shout out as I enter the house.
I went shopping to get groceries for dinner tonight.
The nuns still give me monthly cooking tutorials, but I have also become quite the cook these days.
Beocca is the only one to greet me. I hurry and put the food away. I want to see and touch Declan.
I go up to our room and find him on the bed, watching something on his laptop.
He’s in nothing but his boxers, giving me a full display of his beautiful body.
He sees me when I enter and smiles at me like I hung the sun.
He pulls out his AirPods and sets the laptop on the side table.
“Hi baby, I didn’t know you were home yet. ”
“Yeah, I made the grocery trip short.” I walk into the bathroom and look at myself. I see the rosy color in my cheeks from the thoughts I have. I want him right now.
I strip off all my clothes. I never hide or shy away from nudity with him. He loves my body as much as I love his.
When I walk out of the bathroom his eyes open wide and he bites his lip. His cock starts to tent his boxers. “I don’t want to bother you.” I’m playing a game with him. The game is I need him to tell me how much he needs me right now. “You can finish your work.”
He growls and my cock comes to life from that sound alone. “Not working. Now get the fuck over here.”
I want to giggle like a schoolgirl, but I don’t. I walk over to the bed, crawling up it to straddle him. I come to rest right over his hips, his erection against my rear. I lean down and bite his lip. His hands grab my hips roughly. “Tell me you love me,” he demands.
I move my mouth to kiss his neck. “I love you.” I kiss down to his collarbone. “I love you more than anyone has ever loved another.” A kiss to his jaw. “I love you in this life, the next, and in Heaven or Hell. I will always love you.”
Declan claims my mouth when I go in for another kiss. We kiss so passionately that if we could, we would burn the house.
My hands slide down his chest and start removing his boxers.
He lifts and kicks them off. He sits up, bringing us nose to nose.
Reaching over, he opens the drawer and pulls out the lube.
He goes back to kissing me while he works the lube on his dick.
His sticky hands grab my hips and lift them up a bit.
He maneuvers me around until his dick is resting against my hole.
I take over and grab him, working it into myself.
I slowly slide down. The stretch he gives my body is nothing but a welcomed feeling.
We moan in unison once I’m fully seated. Without needing him to direct I rise up on my knees and then slide back down. Every inch of our bodies is touching each other like we’re afraid the other will vanish.
I’m riding him, kissing him, being consumed by him. My dick bobs up and down between us, spreading precum over his abs. I’ll lick him clean after this. He grabs my face between his hands, forcing me to still and stare into his eyes. “I love you so fucking much Ewen. You are my life.”
We’ve made love so many times in our months together, but it’s never felt this deep, this connected. Our souls are now and forever intwined together.
The future is still a mystery but I know it’ll be us together, forever.
THE END
