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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY36dQ61ZY2
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYq1gZx5w
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RofVsK4Tl
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6p0WmsBsw
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1YqxBhyP
Oh my God,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeujUIhrkc
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX96d3mSp2
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gEAt4cHn
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFm47HrAG0
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHrPzOTabx
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iNAuoSctF
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkbN3QzkAX
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx4jsuJNCH
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedphiZp5bz
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLCwcetZoE
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqFGFIUafM
Man he smells so fucking good,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkEp9ZzzyH
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBzyTsDY96
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpFnlXj4iE
"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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleRBoY8ekS
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOqT4oI1F
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLSO87E6v
"Cian"
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKpB53ecEX
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qPmJsL78o
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijW92YL2CB
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv5kHp1JMm
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XQY7ud0Z9
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPHIRVNJLS
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Irs3SglL

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67xnqrz50y
Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzpATOSxMO
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhxKKXSHS3
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuf95Qt8M9
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ID7YsWsj
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouXK6SuOAM
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwNf6mwwcb
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSiZS1cwNj
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MwCYHfBz
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M08PFgB65
"C-Cian"
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h44vCt2Q9
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3swXp7pFJ1
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06OKyBbvm0
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY1XESemFj
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjOuvOAfat
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gyIevVw5V
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuAMnk7tP0
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,
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5gehXuZ3x
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
