Robin laughed. “That was never up for debate. But that particular blond does so with aplomb.”
“Whereas you have finally met your match when it comes to stubbornness.”
Robin stared back at Simon, and Dorian couldn’t say he remembered Robin ever looking at him in such a way, as if the stars and heaven were nothing in comparison. “I would say it was an even heat. Although I have managed to have him agree that he’ll step back from the police when we have children.”
“When,not if?”
Robin smirked. “Oh, it’s a definite when. I have to ensure the succession, and Simon is so ridiculously good with kids it would be a crime if he wasn’t a father.”
They’d never talked about children but then they’d never committed to a future. “I can’t quite imagine you with a clutch of kids.”
“Maybe that was our problem. But we were always heading on different trajectories and now we’ve found the right people to travel them with.”
Robin would always be important to him, but he could accept that he was his past, whereas Alex was his future. They’d not been together long, but he was already thinking of all the things they might do and unlike with Robin there was no outside influence to steer them off-course. “Then we should probably join them before they come to their senses and leave us.”
Alex beamed as Dorian stood beside him, and took his hand. “Is your unfinished business finished?” Alex asked.
“Yep. So now it’s time for more pleasant things like tequila and champagne.”
He pressed a kiss to Alex’s lips. Dorian couldn’t remember feeling so happy, or free. Alex stared up at him and Dorian fell in love a little bit more.
