Before I had entered the carriage, I had let Cian go first, once he did, he turned back around to look around us while he extended his left hand towards me,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUS2URo6jy
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlapDv1F9U
As he looked back out quickly before settling in, I sat down opposite of where Cian should be sitting, Nemesis and Lycus had made themselves at home immediately after I propped their bag up for them to rest with the food in it for them,

It was unexpectedly awkward right now because we were alone and my heart was wildly beating out of my chest, and I am sure that Cian had heard it.

While I had my head down the whole time trying desperately to avoid looking at Cian, the carriage suddenly shook, making me lose my balance in the small space where if I had moved my knees it would had brushed against his. And now, I was sprawled all over his thighs,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDRFVoI20n
Oh my God,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLuq2210Wv
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUf01AVGWx
I had reached down to his thigh without meaning to do it physically, but the mental need was so strong that I had ended up doing it, my fingers trailed over the muscles of his thigh as I felt him tense up under my fingers, snapping me out of my daze,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpFYkX4fT2
To stable myself, I held onto his thighs for support with how small the space was, I heard him take in a sharp breath above me,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuVhs2tjm5
I looked up at him not expecting the reaction, just to be looked back at with brown and yellow streaked eyes full of emotions that I couldn't describe due to their intensity.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lhQQpbYzP
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOs60P5Ww
Shaking myself out of my daze, I tried to sit back up and get away from him just to be crashed against a hard surface yet warm and cozy,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eMt2Poduj
My face was pressed against his muscular chest as he dipped his nose into my hair, sniffing and smelling me as a sigh of relief left him,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CBEDuml7b
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW83ICmgzB
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHHBV7mCLk
After a few seconds of the awkward hugging because of the small space, Cian had lost patience and seated me on his lap as he rested his head on my shoulder, I shyly wrapped my arms around his neck as I hid my face in his hair,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡragzOwRWGJ
Man he smells so fucking good,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiwRqhkF8l
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYNdTpLEB
I had subconsciously started sniffing him as well which I had only realize after I've heard him chuckle making me tighten my hold on him,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjJzJtZNpR
"Tell us, little mate, what was that about, are our bad behaviors rubbing off of you" he teased with a small playful smile to which I had huffed in return, not wanting to admit that I couldn't control my actions,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogMYnRRQIB
Not getting a response out of me, Cian decided to rest his head in between my shoulder and neck which tickled in a way that gave me goosebumps,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MOAEwVq8U
He planted a small kiss on a really sensitive part of my neck, I loved how he made my whole body to mentally and physically react to him,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zWshvrHUz
"Cian"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNZ4jbYOqO
I breathed out, but in return I didn't hear an answer, it confused me so I looked at him to be greeted with Cian's beautiful face, but in a sleeping state.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthFpXeRHzS
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5euJ8BKTQ
To make him more comfortable, I decided to reach to my bag and get the small travel blanket out to lay on him after getting out of his embrace,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JyKk9E6Hd
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfVpqnx16s
Sighing, I ended up pulling the blanket on both of us as Nemesis and Lycus made their ways to their own place to cuddle in and sleep,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW3uyWkpo9
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNA7fzpQc7

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48njwE0hCy
Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumdRLSfsdD
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVSKHDWXit
I instantly blushed at the scene we had created in the carriage, trying to wiggle my way out, Cian had started pulling me closer as a frown was set on his face, he didn't want me to get away at any cost,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbnDvq0yUE
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iF2MDocu5
With that, his eyes slightly widened and he let me go right away, my smile dropping at the thought of my antidepressants, but I tried to cover it. I didn't want pity from anyone.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuUAO7t65U
I quickly popped my pills in my mouth, drinking water afterwards, but I drank it so fast that some water trickled down my lips to my chin,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM7AoeyI1j
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep4f9LEzXN
But Cian had instantly pulled me in, holding my chin between his fingers as he trailed the tip of his tongue at the base of my jaw,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRcFYjH6Hr
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgEB22zS1h
"C-Cian"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4PYTRKRS4
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg2w1Puz6b
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKJlsvyId
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohofBWtr3
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2HxjcEcVv
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYynD4HSN
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g14BtUcYs
Cian had decided to teasingly peck me after seeing my flushed state as he unwillingly let me go so we could get out without being suspicious, his whole demeanor changed as we got out of the carriage,
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttmTyhhgHY
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
