The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

35 [Bonus chapter] Snuggle

Sophie kissed him tenderly and it made Nicholas surprised for a moment that he couldn't make a response at all.

It was as if he was stunned by some kind of magic that was Sophie's soft and luscious lips on him.

Was he dreaming?

Did he accidentally eat wolfsbane and was now hallucinating?

Nicholas wasn't sure if this was actually happening at all.

After a second of his lack of response, Sophie quickly pulled away with her face looking extremely red as a tomato. She saw the look on Nicholas' face and it made her shy.

Why did she suddenly do something like this?

The moment felt right to Sophie and she really wanted to do it, but she should have thought about Nicholas and what he wanted, shouldn't she?

"Ah, I'm sorry… d-did you not like it?" Sophie asked with a low voice. She was suddenly very worried that Nicholas thought she was an easy woman.

Nicholas reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze. He was also red-faced as he looked into her eyes and pouted. "It was too short."

"Oh. I see..." Sophie flushed harder.

"Well, I think we can fix that," Nicholas chuckled and tugged her closer to him. Her kissing him was a good signal as any that she was open to this.

The two of them shared a kiss again and this time it was much longer. Nicholas wrapped his arms around her waist and beckoned her to get on top of his lap.

It was natural when Sophie did it and Nicholas immediately found himself turned on by the weight of her presence atop of him. Sophie rested her hand against his chest and Nicholas placed a hand on her hip.

The two of them shared another minute of locking lips and testing the limits of their kissing before pulling away to catch their breaths.

There was an incredibly huge grin on Nicholas's face once the kiss ended, but he made sure to stop before he could do anything that went beyond the line of kissing.

It was so tempting to do something more. However, he didn't want to scare Sophie and make her realize that she was stuck in a cave alone with an absolute pervert and lewd guy. Instead, Nicholas cleared his throat and said. "Thank you."

"Ah, thank you as well." Sophie batted her eyes at him unsurely and blushed. "It heated up things a bit didn't it?"

Nicholas nearly choked before he offered her something else. "If you want to keep warm, would you like to cuddle instead?"

Sophie nodded shyly. "Sure."

"Well, it's perfect that you're in my lap now," Nicholas gave her a hug and nuzzled her neck. He resisted the urge to press his lips on her neck and give her a kiss.

Why was she so intoxicating to him?

"Why?" Sophie blushed.

"I think that I really won't be able to fall asleep because of this." Nicholas murmured underneath his breath.

"Then it's a great idea to stay awake isn't it?" Sophie chuckled and patted his head shyly. All of this was very new to her that she didn't know what to think or say, but she knew that she actually liked this.

The two of them would remain like this until Sophie got tired and eventually fell asleep before Nicholas.

***

When Sophie woke up, she felt something warm and realized that Nicholas was once again a grey wolf and he lay down around her, providing the comfort and warmth that made her sleep so pleasant.

She was in awe when she saw him bobbing his head sleepily. Even though Sophie failed to stay awake, Nicholas did his best.

"Oh, Nick…" Sophie found her heart extremely touched by his gesture that she reached out and touched his fur. He looked like he was about to doze off but stayed watch all night.

The wolf's head snapped to her in surprise, but then he quickly transformed back into a human and reached for his clothes. Sophie closed her eyes throughout the process but her mind couldn't help but imagine what Nicholas looked like while getting dressed.

"Sorry about that," Nicholas apologized again. "I was trying to keep you warm at night…"

"It's fine, thank you so much." Sophie smiled at him. "I knew you were doing your best."

Nicholas chuckled and then rubbed his chin. "Then, does that mean that I should be rewarded?"

"What do you want?" Sophie raised a brow.

Nicholas blushed and didn't expect that Sophie would go along with it, but then he motioned to his cheek. "A kiss would be nice."

Sophie couldn't help but find him very cute, she turned away from him. She cleared her throat. "Actually, I can cook you a real nice breakfast instead."

"Sophie…" Nicholas whined for a moment.

Sophie spun back and pecked him on the lips. "Are you satisfied now?"

Nicholas blushed and nodded. "I think I'll go out and hunt us a deer or something… please excuse me for a moment and I'll be right back."

Without saying another word, Nicholas ran off the cave and into the woods. It left Sophie smiling a bit and rolling her eyes.

"We haven't even talked about this thing… between us," she muttered to herself.

The two of them had kissed each other and cuddled all night. That meant something right?

Sophie didn't want to pressure Nicholas because she was the one who initiated the kiss, but he happily returned it. When Sophie thought about it and the way that he cared so much about her, she felt a flutter in her chest.

Once Nicholas returned with a captured animal, the two of them would do their best to prepare their food before getting up and preparing to leave.

"Do you think it will rain again?" Nicholas asked her.

"I hoped not. It stormed two times in only a matter of days," Sophie said.

"Then should we try looking for wolfsbane again instead of returning home?"

The two of them thought about it for a moment and glanced at each other. It was actually important for Nicholas to find them right away and Sophie also wasn't against spending her days in the forest again.

"I think that's a good idea."

Right before Nicholas could offer a suggestion on where they should go next, a sudden cry of an animal echoed in the forest. Normally, Nicholas would have wanted to leave it alone but Sophie was already heading in that direction.

"Sophie, wait!"

THEY ARE SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!

I would love to commission artwork where Nicholas is in his wolf form and snuggle with Sophie like this. By the way, I commissioned chibis for them to a very talented artist.

You can see the sketches in the comment of chapter 32. I will post the final results on my Instagram and Facebook page after they are done. Leland's result is out, but it still has the sample stamp by the artist.

If you want to see more visuals like videos, artworks, etc for this book (and all my other stories), you can follow my Insta @missrealitybites.

This book also has an Instagram account called @lelandsophienic

PS: Thank you Despina for gifting a dragon to this book yesterday! xx
