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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv61MphQIW
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUmRi88lLQ
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfl6EZZr3h
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEDoZFRNeJ
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6lRS9ap6g
Oh my God,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORRbOAxZZC
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ796VxHQ0sO
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92vGsLoLT1
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM4HIcJa7L
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgzvPGwAOS
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMMIoL4sQk
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1gmZo0qUo
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti7DRPN54H
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwc0GsDek9
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGa1s4IiXv
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZahhYJMiZ
Man he smells so fucking good,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGNCONedpL
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfbpGi8cip
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LS0teU4Bh
"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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCBQnxTkMW
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYQzsy5jgs
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfuq0UxQt
"Cian"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4BgPub8Zx
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2SSkO4rp
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5KCYmpzvQ
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfpygJv1b
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3RQ9EZ8Gc
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HHGu0ha74
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq5G9IqgCx

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS46YGvOG94
Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RfhvLcL7V
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXEn9NFIzI
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiuZVeaPI
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIbkfMq5q
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwVfI3VC2h
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhLzcFLgRD
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cQrpME7oK
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk30xXzCzP0
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6NyBP6Sgq
"C-Cian"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSbqE1E1O
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIVvx6rwQ
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJUq3W2MUz
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLI8PF6JMG
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JLOhkd9Ko
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPwffPb8zL
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtDCcinRe2
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,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMrWAIu6SG
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
