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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M00qIWNlb
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7hd3vJgDU
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDXUwQAYK
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAFV6AXB4p
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUKBbHcfWV
Oh my God,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NfZ7PyAHb
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4NTdrH4t5
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdKOCTe5q
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3SprPI9Hw
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQxgS3spO
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP16vOoCnD9
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XtojKQqQB
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOdStVlRJw
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXvQNrxUF
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4lG1n0noK
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1qX2sTZZ
Man he smells so fucking good,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJIDbSFLA
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZleVS2Tz42
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJBmvgrbb
"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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLll17VEcb6
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VmEbiwbbS
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtsjgWcmnL
"Cian"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjxfOQd4Ws
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEg2DTl8B1
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSiWALB61Y
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2iq3g1gxP
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv9MmcFPi5
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfFzXVkXxh
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9EbrPjKGf

229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbDTYyLqEV
Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl9iTu6vYu
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdw6TjmSG
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9TEZff0X
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JxkHgSW7z
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9J225mdou
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbYi8Eupod
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLjxKsTpk
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmoOxfAX10
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpms50rHIOt
"C-Cian"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyIuFNfqPH
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaEBi5VRXo
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ynL0oisP
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQlzmXfzP
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuieBfRQW0L
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUCU0tfYiI
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfNajvE3qc
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,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kd2uMpGY7
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
