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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKk4b042yR
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL0BcWegQl
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxHSDvWUxy
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nYye5lv5E
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKzDA5lpUG
Oh my God,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwFMpB9Ahw
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrFDHxV2nm
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7eKSOLB4T
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA7vWkbJpT
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJzmVlOXc6
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K0itfDcry
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisvF80z2cr
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7j61BPaD
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PagDl3qv
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKSoZQTdew
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7GA4nsB6o
Man he smells so fucking good,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwhWoE1pY
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqea5uEeBk
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyLPCE4Gpb
"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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3v1dwwU6t
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq8Hv8OFWp
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TJNqIqcHB
"Cian"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWbykQJkz7
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kNa2QKnol
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8tvmiOCQ
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDqIRQQ4qi
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD9MraIk6D
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCWmLXaJRa
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJycjePw5qB
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbsVTkcOV
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1rAXSnaz8
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvMvICIkiX
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6D969nqAE
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJh1fSwsGP
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGuLG32M69
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXfpjyA5kH
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZJlaYxXDf
"C-Cian"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yo6qoO2av
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmJRdaP9aw
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4asKvNvSl
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWlD2kvoKH
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAFH3rcR6
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEEFG8zMKz
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4sysn9MpL
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,
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZbbPqXPK
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
