Declan's bakery on the way back. The small shop hadn't been open very long but from everything he'd seen, the place was extremely popular. Not once had he walked into 'Sinful Delights' and found the place empty.
    Apparently the town of Atherton had a fairly large sweet tooth. He knew he did.
    Ethan walked down the stairs and found Ben had returned. His was sitting on the couch, leaning against the arm, with Tommy stretched out between his legs. Ben's hands we gently caressing Tommy's stomach.
    Ethan didn't want to interrupt them so he turned to walk past but was stopped by Tommy calling out.
    He turned and headed back to where they sat.
    "You heading out?" Tommy asked.
    "Yep, wanna grab some lunch and have another

    look around town. I'll be back in an hour."
    Tommy looked at him imploringly. "Any chance you plan to stop by Declan's?"
    Ethan chuckled. "It may have crossed my mind."
    He watched as Tommy patted Ben and the big,
    tough Alpha sighed in resignation before he manoeuvred himself so he could retrieve his wallet from his back pocket. Ethan noticed how Ben kept an arm around Tommy the entire time, holding the man close.
    Ben settled back down, reached into his wallet, and pulled out a fifty before he handed it over to Ethan.
    Tommy looked excited as he watched the money
    change hands.
    "Anything in particular? Or just a random selection?"
    Tommy started listing off sweets like they were going out of fashion.
    "Definitely éclairs. Oh, and caramel slice. And a lemon bar. Oh, and a Kitchener bun. Throw in a couple chocolate donuts and maybe one or two of those giant chocolate chunk cookies he does, as well. They're heavenly."
    Ethan looked at Ben and raised a brow as Tommy continued to list off what he was sure was the entire contents of Declan's bakery.

    "Whatever you get will be fine. I don't expect there to be any change from that note either."
    Got it.
    Basically he had carte blanche to buy as much as he possibly could with the money Ben had given him. Ethan knew Ben loved Declan's sweets just as much as Tommy did, but Tommy had grown up tasting his brother's creations and knew exactly what he liked best, which Ethan was coming to realise was everything.
    He shoved the money in the pocket of his jeans and walked away while Tommy continued to recite off sweets.
    Just as Ethan opened the front door, Tommy's words were cut off suddenly and Ethan heard a faint moan. He left quickly, not wanting to witness what he was sure was about to happen.

    Ethan had driven around the main parts of the town already. He'd investigated the main road, had parked his car, and walked the stretch, looking at all the shops lining the four lane split road.
    Today, however, Ethan drove to Subway and got himself a large sub and a drink then followed the signs up through the streets to Halloran's Hill.

    Ethan parked his car, picked up his lunch, and had a look around. The place was fairly picturesque. There were barbeques up there where people could come and have a get-together and use the facilities for free. There was also a decent size kid's playground, a large grassed area where currently two people were throwing a ball down the slight incline and a beautiful golden retriever took off after the object.
    An information centre also sat up top, along with a telephone tower. Ethan wondered around for ten minutes before he decided on a large, flat-topped boulder to sit on and set his lunch down beside him.
    Ethan slowly ate his sub and looked out over the expanse of the town he now called home. He never would have thought that moving here would change his life so dramatically. Not once did Ethan ever expect to find his mate. Ethan knew he still had a ways to go before Corey was his, but he didn't mind the chase. After all, anything worth having was worth waiting for, and Corey was definitely worth having.
    He looked down at his watch sometime later and
