will be more important than ever before."
Marcel looked at me. "My question is, when you retired from the ministry, did you really want to leave the underground? I may have left out a few details as to our involvement. Let's just say that I know people, and I will be the one funding the setup for the next stop to replace the one we closed on Aurelia. I can get you up and running in the location of your choice."
As tempting as that was, I shook my head. "I will be happy to give you names of people I trust to run the new location and even suggest a few places that I think would work. But it's too dangerous to have me linked to the underground right now. I'm not sure what I'll be doing career wise in the near future but I'll probably be sticking close to home."
Armando waggled his brows at Dearest. "Just a thought, but another grandchild wouldn't be a hardship. It's not like our family needs to worry about finances. Why don't you make Nate here a stay-at-home dad while you cut back and take the occasional job? Until any babies arrive, you could travel and enjoy being mates. Just remember that our estate is large. If you don't want to live in the manor, we can build you a house with enough space from us for you to have a little privacy."
Dearest giggled. "Dad, I am so not having this conversation with you. When we’ll have children and where we’ll decide to settle down is something that Nathaniel and I will discuss when we're ready."
I rested my chin on his shoulder. "But in the meantime, Armando's suggestion that we do a little traveling isn't a bad one."
Dearest snuggled closer. “Not a bad one at all. I’m completely on board with that idea. Especially if you take me somewhere tropical. My balls are half frozen after our weeks in Slovenia.” My brother and Marcel both laughed while nodding in agreement about how chilly it was on their mountain.
It was hard to say goodbye to Tony and Marcel when they dropped us off in Portugal. I knew they needed to get home and get back to the crucial work they did with the underground. But still… I was really going to miss having my brother right there every day.
Hours later, Dearest and I were lying in bed kissing and cuddling while we laughingly talked about his father's suggestion that my next career be as a stay-at-home dad. Dearest smiled naughtily and rolled on top of me, rubbing our bare cocks together as he sinuously writhed against me. "This is what I want all omegas to have. A family where it’s completely reasonable to suggest the omega go back to work while the alpha stays home with the babies. We don't have to decide right now about whether or not we want to procreate, but so far we haven't done anything to stop it, so how about we leave it in God's hands?"
I rolled him over and pinned him beneath me while he giggled and squirmed to break free. "I'm sorry, did I just hear my favorite atheist suggest that not only might there be a God but that he might have a say in our lives?"
Dearest stopped giggling as he gazed up at me with pure unfiltered love shining from his eyes. "You did. I've decided to accept the possibility, no matter how implausible it may seem. Because having you come into my life was a miracle on its own, but you accepting and loving me for who I am? Yeah, that has to be a God thing. Maybe. Hell, I don’t know. If pressed, I guess I’d say that I'm more in the agnostic camp now. While I don't quite believe, I don't completely disbelieve anymore either."
"That works for me. I've always felt that a person's faith—or lack thereof—was a matter of personal choice. I'm not here to shove my beliefs down anyone's throat. I simply ministered to people who did believe and needed guidance. Want to know what I believe right now?"
Dearest smiled and nodded almost shyly. I gave my hips a thrust, rubbing our cocks together again. "I believe it's been way too long since I've properly made love to my mate."
He gasped dramatically. "I do believe you're right. How about we do something about that?"
Lowering my head to kiss him, I hovered with our lips barely brushing. "I love you, Dearest."
"I love
