Author's Note:

Thank you to everyone who had commented on this story. I haven't had a chance to respond to them, but I have read them and they all make my day and keep me writing, so thank you!

I've caught up with myself on posting chapters and writing them (I've always liked to have, at least, 5 chapters written ahead of what I've posted), but I've been sick and busy. I hope I can get the next chapter finished before next week; it will be a little bit of a holiday present for y'all. If not, I'll post a little author's note to update everyone on the situation. Fingers crossed I'll get it done! I rushed to edit this chapter quickly, so hopefully I got almost all the errors. Sorry if I didn't!

Taking a small break from Colby's POV and switching to Corey's. I'm also withholding the desirable Solby Moment we all want for one more chapter, because I'm cruel lol... anyway, on with the story! Enjoy a steamy NSFW +18 Eltorey moment instead!

---------------

As the pair disappeared up the stairs, Corey continued to yell his mate's name, but each time he opened his mouth it seemed to lose its ferocity. Corey rarely had to yell at his mate and actually mean it anymore. Despite the past few years of knowing the older man and then going through the up's and the down's of that friendship, Corey loved Elton in a way that he could not describe and had not felt with anyone he had ever dated.

Elton was like the missing piece of Corey's soul. As if God had placed him on this earth to only ever be loved by Corey, like God had done for Adam and Eve in the beginning. Corey's religious mind adored that comparison. He was so lost and unsure about the world around him until Elton appeared in his life, filling it with adventures and fun and laughter. Now, Elton was the center of his life... of his world... of his whole universe. He set it aglow with radiant sun, bringing life to the barren landscape within Corey's soul and heart.

As Elton shouldered through their room, which once was only Corey's, and shut the door with his foot, Corey leaned into the crevice of Elton's neck. His nose pressed into the sharp lines of the older man's neck, taking in the scent there that was an intoxicating mix of chocolate and coffee and spice. It was warmth and comfort that spread across his body as he took in Elton's scent, which Corey now knew (thanks to Luna) was the scent that the wolf in Elton gave off.

"I love you so much, Elton," Corey whispers gently.

The Beta leans his head against Corey's and whispers back, "I love you so much, Corey."

Suddenly, Elton drops the younger Omega onto their bed and Corey gives a soft grunt as his body lands into the pile of covers. The bed smells like a combination of both his and Elton's scent and Corey loves it. Makes him feel safe. Makes him feel whole.

Elton leans over, placing a hand on either side of Corey's body, and gives a sharp smirk. Corey closes the distance between them, about to press his lips against Elton's, but the Beta dodges it each time. The Omega whines and tries to kiss his mate again. Once more, Elton moves out of the way and gives a soft chuckle.
