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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI3HZekTM2
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky9a6D6w9H
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAIC6SBZud
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AfXqvBWyv
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGu2mS3oh5
Oh my God,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7kbt3MQuH
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLLVGOwo5A
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmU3WAYuZr
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EZ2NalXy8
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKylQiaEOX
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0Goayb4a
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqmiIwUznk
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGoUP0Qteu
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIcWss38ku
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTdCSDY7e1
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmeCfSvwrv
Man he smells so fucking good,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8tfg0Yvih
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAUMyTYAWm
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehfv7PAeJ4
"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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxxSTmPgi
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsuvyOWfYr
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HwrUWAccR
"Cian"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmoQCSZD55
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOqCapwUdC
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWFLzzG9rS
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCZxd0Po69
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZccsSzsIH
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHVHfMkqqO
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGPMsb0wRh
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexitVVWj1U
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8p5duPYV8
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAj27YukEr
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvw0eiTAs2
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWDL3HnBp
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxVAvNbEs
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T17epifAl
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGoIoZv4Ug
"C-Cian"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm04JLh7PNi
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0yQcCQkI
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0hwpClArS
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnCvKrKwc
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ol63OvVBE
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzUZsVKgJz
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ8gQLQqYQ
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,
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln6YqH1JsE
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
