ODDS OF LOVE: SEASON SEVEN

Episode 39

Spencer's entire being almost seemed to crumble at the sound of that one " no ". His lips trembled as he whispered," Why ? Why? "

" We have discussed this before, Spencer. You are not ready. You may never be ready. I love you. I consider this to be a real marriage. You don't need sex to have a real marriage. Marriage is more than sex. I feel more connected to you without the damn sex than I did in any of my past meaningless flings. Why is it so important to turn me into Skip Sands ! I'm not going to literally rape you because you are not ready! You know this and so do I."

Spencer said sharply," It's important because you like sex ! And I think if I don't give it to you that ..... that I'll ultimately lose you. I don't want to lose you. "

DuBuis's eyes softened and he pulled him close to his body. " Baby, you will never lose me. I've told you this before. I wish you would finally believe it. I'll do couples counseling with you yes but I am not going to pressure you into sex when we both know you are not ready. One out of two ain't bad. Please come back home. "

Lynn interrupted softly," I have a solution. I'm not equipped to do this particular aspect but I can actually refer you both to a very good LGBTQA friendly sex therapist. Then you can work through the issues from the rape and find a way to move forward. What do you say about that option? "

They looked at each other.

DuBuis said," I'm willing to try it if you are. As long as you come back home. "

Spencer nodded. " Ok. I know I'm not ready.... for sex but maybe the..... other therapy will help us ? I'll do it. And I will come back home. Tonight. I love you. "

" I love you too. Can I kiss you? "

Spencer smiled softly. " I thought you would never ask. "

DuBuis laughed faintly and leaned forward to claim his husband's lips in a kiss that was both passionately yearning and gentle. And Spencer responded with everything within his being.

Then the door quickly opened and in rushed Faith. She said urgently," I hope you lovebirds are reunited. Because we kinda need your doctoring skills, bro. Nigel just fucking fainted. "
