Chapter 181

Scott opened the door to their bedroom for Mitch to walk through. Mitch smiled at him, and then went to grab himself some boxers to change into. Scott did the same, and changed in front of Mitch without a second thought. He glanced over at Mitch, and noticed Mitch staring at him. "What? Did I put them on backwards or something?" Mitch blushed profusely and looked away. "N-no. Sorry." Scott grabbed Mitch's waist and pulled Mitch's slim body into his own. "Don't stutter, Sweetpea. And don't apologize. Why are you looking at me like that?" Mitch avoided his eyes and looked down at Scott's chest. "No reason.. I just.. I t-think you're r-r-r..." Mitch trailed off, not able to form the words. Scott hugged him really close, setting his chin on the top of Mitch's head. "Shh, shh.. It's okay, Pumpkin. I didn't mean to make you say it." Mitch shook his head and pulled back just enough to look Scott in the eyes. "I.. I mean. I was staring at you... Because I think you're beautiful." He blushed again and looked down. Scott 'aww'ed and then hugged Mitch again. "Thank you, Sweetie. Why was that so hard to say?" He asked gently. Mitch pulled back and met his eyes again. "I don't know.. I just thought you were going to.. I don't know." Scott moved away and smiled. "You're so cute. Adorable. Change your pants and then we can go to sleep." Mitch nodded and stared at the boxers in his hands, before glancing back at Scott. Scott laid down in the bed, under the covers. He turned and looked at Mitch, still nervously looking at the boxers in his hands. Scott sighed and leaned on his elbow to look at Mitch. "Honey, you can change in the bathroom if you're uncomfortable." "No.. I want to be able to change in front of you.. It's not a big deal. I don't know why I'm making it one.." Scott sat up then. "You don't have to. Just go change in the bathroom until you're ready to change in front of me again. I know Jamie coming back kind of screwed things up.. But I don't mind. Take your time." Mitch whined. "But.. I want to.." "But don't force yourself. It isn't a big deal, baby. What if I promise not to look?" Mitch turned and nodded quickly. "Okay. Promise." Scott laid back down and pulled the covers up over his head. "I promise not to look." Mitch changed into his boxers as quickly as possible. He frowned at himself and his fear. He loves you. What are you afraid of? Mitch moved towards the bed and lifted the covers a little to see Scott's face. "I'm done. Thank you for that..." "You're welcome, baby. Just.. I know you're not comfortable with yourself because of your old pack. But I just need you to know that I think you are beyond gorgeous. I've seen you naked before, and let me just say you're absolutely beautiful. And also, screw what Jamie thinks." Mitch blushed and looked down. "Thank you..." "Now come here, you pretty little thing." Scott said, opening his arms up towards him. Mitch smiled a little and climbed into the bed next to his Alpha. Scott started kissing Mitch's jawline, and then down his neck. Mitch giggled when Scott kissed down his chest, and landed on one of his nipples. Scott stopped and looked up at him. "What are you laughing at up there?" Mitch smiled down at him. "Nothing. It just tickled for a second." "Oh? You have sensitive little nipples." Mitch blushed even more. "Did you have to say it like that?" Scott leaned down and kissed Mitch's nipple again. "Don't be embarrassed. I think it's hot." "Really?" Scott continued kissing down Mitch's chest, past his flat stomach and his prominent hip bones. Mitch's hand shot out to grab a fistful of Scott's hair when he kissed one of his hips, hopefully to stop his movements. Scott looked up and met his worried eyes. "I wouldn't do anything you don't want me to. This isn't about that. It's about me showing you that I love every single part of you. Every single one. Even the parts you don't like. Just let me finish, okay? Don't you trust me?" Mitch nodded, slowly releasing his hold on Scott's hair. Scott skipped over Mitch's boxers completely, starting at the middle of his thigh. Then he kissed all the way down each leg, even once on both of his feet. Mitch sat up a little to stare at him. Scott moved back up Mitch's body, giving one of his thighs one more kiss. Mitch propped himself up on his elbows, and Scott leaned over him. He pressed his body against Mitch's, but kept most of his weight off of him. Mitch frowned. "Why'd you do that?" "Because I love you. And you need to be reminded of that sometimes." Scott leaned down and kissed Mitch's shoulder. Mitch just stared at him. "But.." Scott trailed kisses up his neck. "But what?" Mitch tipped his neck to the side a little, giving Scott more room. Scott smirked at him and held a kiss on Mitch's Mark spot. Mitch squirmed under Scott's body. "Don't." Scott instantly flinched away. "Sorry. Sorry." Scott nibbled on Mitch's jawline. Mitch gently pushed on his chest. "Alpha.. I'm tired." Scott stopped what he was doing and smiled at him. "Sorry, baby. I just love you, is all." He fell down to lay beside Mitch, and draped an arm over his small body. Mitch pushed himself as close to Scott as he possibly could be, his shoulder against Scott's chest. "Alpha..? How are you.. So confident? How can you be so.. proud of your body? When I'm so ashamed of mine?" Scott kissed his cheek. "I don't know, baby. People didn't tear me down like they did to you. That could be why. But Mitchie... I've never wanted something so bad.. All I want is for you to see how beautiful you are. Don't you remember? Everyone is beautiful." "But.. Jamie said I was fat." Scott let out a sharp breath. "So what? That's his opinion. I thought we talked about never saying that word again? And just for the record, I don't think you're fat. No one in this pack does. No one in Travis' pack does." Mitch frowned and looked into Scott's eyes. "You don't?" "No, honey. I can't believe you think that... You're the skinniest person I've ever met. I'm not even lying. Remember how we used to have to make you eat? That's because you're too skinny. Never, ever, has it crossed my mind that you're fat. Not once."
