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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEuqxiMsCC
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfzN7eP66q
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,

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.

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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1tL6SA3RD
Oh my God,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTuR9LEZ9
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf5kdbYi9a
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBOy67yrs
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudaZ5HmA3Z
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkinGvABct
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgShjs5SoH
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVpmiO4p5b
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbT7WuElCR
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhca9t7QU16
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkAqa7d78x
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVad7U5xqY
Man he smells so fucking good,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWS9VEWQRp
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC6WJwzmko
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdYyXaVbj0
"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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe39ieuW7u
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOIF2i2o7
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlNeZKOt6
"Cian"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4zIfvSEe
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3kMHdnml
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9irvTzIY
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt35YhHNyL5
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJjWFUnhy7
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAraFKewue
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUIahNImS5
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdywpM2XzqY
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPgq7czDct
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXuEsyNdl2
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUED1Rkdlm7
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33VuZlwQE8
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxX0ne8Jlq
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8yYgir2a
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxPInBTsZk
"C-Cian"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDx5jyrGC
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihFh5xcbl
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhktl5buHEx
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4wP5VLecx
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf0HdKBgO1
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb9XF0c32p
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFW2yHxB5l
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,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvcjGCwYn
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
