The Alpha's Curvy Mate

Chapter 17

Nick

“You ready?” I peered into the closet to find Clar jumping up and down, squeezing into a tight pair of jeans. I know, I should wait and woo her completely until I do something about how her ass is looking in those sweet pants but I had to act on it.

Like a predator, I stalked her until I was behind her. I then grabbed her ass and squeezed them lightly. She dared to blush and swat my hands away when she was the first one to tease me.

“Nick! Leave me alone to get dressed.” she pouted her plump lips and it took every restraint I have in my body to not kiss her senseless. Damn. Whipped.

Shaking my head, I walked out of the closet because if I stayed in there, I might just lock us up in there so I can have my way with her. I know she is still angry at me but I’m happy that she is now talking to me, even teasing me, that little minx.

Clar then stepped out of the closet wearing a berry-colored gingham off-shoulder top and a midi black skirt. I raised my eyebrows at her, silently questioning her decision to change her bottom. She sheepishly smiled, her cheeks on fire when she explained that the jeans were damn too tight to fit her comfortably.

“I think I’m gaining more weight here. I really should go on that training with Jace” she silently mumbled as she twirled around the full-length mirror by the vanity table. She looked sad again and I have enough of her sulking about her weight. This girl is too oblivious on her charms and beauty that the possessive part of me wants her oblivious so I can continue worshiping her without other male distraction but I also want her to feel beautiful and worthy. If you ask me, she can be as tiny as a fairy or as big as a titan and I wouldn’t bat an eye, she is perfect for me, she is made for me and I will be here to remind her every day that I will never go away.

I stood up from the bed and walked towards her, she is frowning on her reflection in the mirror and skimming down her skirt as if she is telling them to be smaller. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and rested my chin on the crook of her neck, silently observing her scrunched up face.

“Nick, be honest. Do I look fatter? From when you first saw me?” she asked me, her eyes daunting me to answer wrong. I shook my head gently, a faint smile on my lips. She looks so adorable.

“Stop lying. Do I look horrendous?” Again, I shook my head at her.

Irritated, she huffed before struggling to turn so that she is facing me, my arms still latched around her waist. Tears are now forming in her eyes. “Seriously Nick, don’t lie to me. Don’t you want me anymore? Do you want me to lose weight? Do you hate me now? It’s your fault, you make them cook all of my favorite meals!”

I stifled a laugh. Is she really worried about that? Do I not make myself clear when I couldn’t keep my hands off her or how about I am a walking hard-on when she is in those tight leggings and booty shorts pajamas she loves to wear? Well, I’d be damned if I didn’t want her because no one in this realm can.

“Hush, sweetheart. You are the only one for me. You are the sweetest, sexiest, most gorgeous woman I have ever met. Now that you’re here, I could never look at anyone else again” There. I said it. I have fallen madly in love with her, and it irks me that she can’t see that.

My heart leaped out of my chest when she kissed me softly on my lips and then it was gone in a flash. She then graced me with a million-kilowatt smile that had me falling in love with her more.

“Thank you, Nick” she gave me one last peck before moving to the vanity and fixing up her makeup.

Clar

“I swear to all that is good and evil Nick, if I tripped up and embarrassed myself, I’m sleeping in the guestroom again” I blindly stepped forward, my hand gripping Nick’s arms. I heard him chuckle.

“I told you, the plan is I’m going to blindfold you and swoop you in my arms. I don’t get it, most girls would want me to carry the------ ouch!” I dug my nails in his arms.

“I dare you to finish that sentence” I yelped when I felt him carry me like a bride. I’m sure even when I blindfolded, he could see my blush creeping on the ends of the blindfold. Geez, how could he carry me like I weighed nothing? He must be really, really strong.

“Hmmm, cat got your tongue?” I could see his stupid smirk. Well, he is my stupid.

After some time, he let me down. “Alright. Are you ready?”

Nodding, I squinted my eyes as a harsh light welcomed me. Where are we?

“Okay, I know this couldn’t change the fact that has happened but it would show how I care about you, my mate. I want nothing but you. Always. Forever”

And then, the harsh light went out, as the place glittered with hundreds of fairy lights strewn about on the bleachers. Wait. Bleachers? On the football field of my school? Where we first met?

The place looks spectacular. The bleacher glimmer with soft yellow lights, there are rose petals scattered everywhere and my eyes perk up at the table set for two in the middle of the field. He led me into one of the seats as he helped me get settled. He then placed a kiss on the forehead as he walked to his side of the table. He is wearing tight-fitting jeans paired with a short-sleeved button-down white shirt with bird details. The first two buttons of his shirt were open and I zeroed in his exposed chest. Can I eat him instead?  

Nick cleared his throat. “Stop that, Clar” he growled and I twinkled my eyes on him. I reached out to touch his hand. “Stop what?” I answered him, amused at his face. He looks like he is having a hard time controlling himself and I am very amused.

“Stop looking like you want to eat me. You’ll get that later” he smirked at me at my breath got caught in my throat.

“Damn, daddy” I breathe and his face darkened. He stood up from his seat and pulled me up from mine. I didn’t get enough time to process what is happening and then suddenly, I was hauled by him, my legs instinctively wrapped themselves around his waist and his grip on my hips tightened. I yelped when my butt hit something hard.

“This place is really special for me” Nick confessed, I noticed that he seated us on the exact part of the bleachers where he kissed me for the first time. Just like the first time, I was seated one chair higher than he is, our face to face. I came to realize how much I love him now.

Nick took my hands in his, caressing them slowly. “You know, I have been waiting for you my whole life. I always wanted someone who belongs to me. The day I found you are the happiest day of my life. I just felt so lost and miserable without you. Never did I expected to feel this deep for you, my love” I was in awe and speechless at Nick’s declaration. He brought my hands to his lips and kissed them gently.

He continued, “Babe I just want to tell you that if I could turn back time, I wouldn’t do that again. If I knew that I will be losing you over my stupidity, I would’ve been more patient. I want you to know that you shouldn’t feel like you have to compete with someone else, you shouldn’t be comparing yourself to them because you are my baby, you are my love, my life, my sunshine, you are my compass, babe, I was so lost when you are not here. I’m so sorry for the pain I’ve caused and don’t worry babe, we can start over. You don’t have to rush, I will be here. Forever”

I was so overwhelmed by his love, I can feel it radiating through his eyes, his hands felt cold but they were burning in mine. He is still holding my hands but I shook them away so I can grab his face and stroke his cheeks. He smiled as he leaned into my touch and my heart fluttered at his gesture.

He then let out a dashing smile before extending his hands to me, “Hi, my name is Nick King and I think I love you”

I swear my face will split in half, grinning ear to ear I shook his hands before replying, “Hi, I’m Clarity and I know I love you” as I launch myself to him, taking him by surprise. He caught me as I wrapped my legs around his waist and straddle him. I then kissed him with all of my heart, he chuckled before guiding my hands around his neck and kissing me deeper.
