"They agreed," he repeats with an emphatic nod. "There've been dozens of times just in the last few months where it's been a struggle to get a hold of someone. There's been some concern over emergencies and how quickly we're able to respond to them. Then someone mentioned how technology keeps advancing, and unless we're able to maintain access to it, it's going to be harder and harder for us to blend in when we're forced to go out into the world."
"They...they agreed..." I repeat it again just to be sure. I meet Caleb's gaze, and my heart swells with joy as understanding dawns on me. "I can't believe it..."
"Neither can I." He grins as he steps toward me once again and slips his arms around my shoulders. He hugs me tightly and nuzzles against my neck with a light sigh.
"When is this happening?" I ask as we part.
"They're going to start getting in contact with various service providers to find one that might be interested," he says, taking my hand and walking with me back toward the cabin. "I'm supposed to help with those efforts since I've got the most experience with tech stuff. Which means I need to research what the hell I actually need to ask for. Obviously, there's no way to know for sure how long this will take, but...I'm hoping we get it all done before the end of the year."
"That soon? Really?"
"I might be overly optimistic right now," he says with a little laugh. "But I'm gonna work my hardest to make it happen. If we can get a reliable signal with adequate speed, I might be able to let go of my office space in Seattle completely."
I look down at my notepad and start jotting a few things down.
"What's that?" Jordan asks, craning his neck to try and get a look at what I'm writing.
I grin. "Just adding 'home office' to my to-do list."

JORDAN
Breeding season has arrived. The scent of omegas in heat drifts through the air like a thick haze. When I was single, the smell of them all would have driven me crazy. But now, all it does is set my senses on fire and stoke the smoldering fire in my balls.
I desire none of those omegas. The only one I want is Caleb.
But, until he goes into heat, I have to distract myself from my primal urges. Which is why I've been out here splitting wood for the past two hours. The heavy ax arcs through the air toward the log before me. The metal bites into the wood with a satisfying THUNK, and the log splits in two.
Physical activity is the only thing that can help suppress the surge of hormones raging through my body right now. Every single part of me wants to go to my omega, strip him naked, and worship every inch of his body over and over again until his belly is plump with our children.
But the lead-up to breeding season is a trying time for an alpha. The surge of hormones tends to make omegas irritable and combative. They're completely disinterested in sex, and everything seems to annoy them. Caleb's done his best to suppress his snappy side, but there's only so much he can do.
So I've been doing my best to stay out of his way and wait for the timing to be right.
Unfortunately, I cast a worried glance at the pile of logs nearby; I'm running low on wood to split.
I swing the ax and split the log into quarters with ease. As I toss these new wedges onto the woodpile, my ears perk up at the sound of the front door opening.
I turn to see Caleb step through the doorway. Wearing nothing but a smile.
I set the ax aside and stare in disbelief. Am I really seeing this or have I just gotten so horny that I'm hallucinating?
He walks toward me, his bare feet not even minding the muddy ground. It's overcast, there's a chill in the air, but he doesn't seem to notice it. His eyes are filled with love and longing. The scent of his heat is thick and unmistakable now. So intense that I'm surprised I didn't notice it before he came outside.
"Hey there," he whispers as he takes my hand. "I missed you."
"Missed you too," I reply, leaning forward and kissing him gently on the lips.
We embrace and kiss each other deeply. Our hands move down to each others' ass, squeezing and kneading as we grind against each other.
His tongue snakes into my mouth as he moans softly. His hips rock forward, and his dick rubs against mine. My cock is already hard and pushing against my jeans.
I shiver as his warm breath hits my neck. His rough hands trail down my arms and slip under the hem of my shirt. I feel his fingers dig into my skin and drag upwards toward my nipples. His palms cup my chest and press against my pecs.
He pulls back slightly and licks his lips. A flush creeps across his cheeks.
"Caleb..." I moan as he reaches around and unbuttons my pants.
