Derek is Elijah’s best friend and business partner. The only problem? Elijah’s in love with Derek, but the other man won’t take him seriously. Elijah knew it was a bad idea to confess his feelings to Derek. Elijah is seven years younger Beta, and a no-name photographer, while Derek is the Internet sensation, Dominick Steel, an Alpha lingerie model. Only Elijah and a few close friends know the truth, that Derek is an Omega and a recluse who never leaves the apartment, and Elijah’s grateful his fumbled confession didn't break Derek's trust. Two years later, Elijah and Derek are still best friends and business partners. Elijah has expanded his photography business and started dating. Things are finally moving in the right direction. So why, when Elijah’s finally given up his crush, does Derek start acting possessive? Is it because Derek no longer has Elijah’s undivided attention? Or is it because Elijah’s dating an Alpha? It can’t be because Derek’s jealous, right? He already rejected Elijah’s advances. But after a drunken night together makes Elijah question everything, he’ll have to decide if he’s willing to risk his heart again for a chance with Derek, or continue to play things safe and just stay friends. This is an MM Beta/Omega story. Themes include: coworkers-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, age gap, and second-chances.
