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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFAQ7hgZuwt
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIql5Epg7NF
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1orlRDIqs7
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.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAbXMRKveCY
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfmNr7asBkK
Oh my God,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmNcyBu0thd
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1xy4JBfANr
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANA31z7BRxLJ5
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEyg1G7rRSX
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.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcaAswZ9R2G
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYltBMLTyvH
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAigd0oHgouI
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzHN8MvbP3z
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
192Please respect copyright.PENANABabVNPVcay
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnBhrI4O5wo
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXMpqID0vSk
Man he smells so fucking good,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGGrgGrPW1u
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7NUSydC4Sn
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANApXEnaiYhas
"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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoOvI6YTLAJ
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0vBFOzOmuA
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAylFWMObD41
"Cian"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEZS8URnLNc
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.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMKlQAlyBvF
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
192Please respect copyright.PENANADDZQZqI2Lk
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAuGiBe0XZJr
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5An8J02OiF
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFRV9I0Z9fb
Because it was going to be a very long ride,

Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPOFidTh7ax
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAB0h3YVvSb1
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjL8B6cG6Ug
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnrbhcGC0JB
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.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqtlm0nP3nb
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHQXRmu9sDx
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbtutGPfzVI
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAk0mOLOnLYq
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
192Please respect copyright.PENANApgiMWHqpxu
"C-Cian"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAhUgQ4PST80
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZrChUuUoTv
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAiqnxzTbNR
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmB1QA08dXN
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3esPeeNU9e
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXZro4vZKKq
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUfXJQl39pa
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,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4hP7alux
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
