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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E12qfrEDX
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GYI5tTYsd
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuarHehFW9
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ74GiU1du
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFMa0AuQl1
Oh my God,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezQvAMqig
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiREJJygIpn
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJHgFcNrW
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92QLd8cXeS
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrqwu6l5EC
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMG8guU2Hw
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUtHUJveR
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dl5FGUZWE
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhAcPhrUIJ
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmYKfQaWhP
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffz5GjZvOk
Man he smells so fucking good,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gPvWh6zK5
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6czq3Kckp
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwpPEfERHt
"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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSYS7nxOEd
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78PmbDURsA
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4rW3AsrYw
"Cian"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iJHXwfryq
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAshADNHyXe
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPrD8jmEn6
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1MPP6mr1V
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR5gBYCq7Y
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9510iz5sKG
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2qtT85pVj

Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigVxu1N01T
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8m2M5Ikgf
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sJD2XorG
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCzanmgB2Y
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXOnBNJZko
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDmBtsdiYl
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ly6Nfw00b
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72kfyu02O3
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEgxJd6BhH
"C-Cian"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqmRgf7Zp
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUAHXAFGsl
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxrJlCHbPD
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JFcc01ml4
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubGOv7wqog
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kYxk16Cw4
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk05WclLoo6
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,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmberDG37B
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
