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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDFi6L6zwW
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnSXy0a9Jd
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PfJhc497
Oh my God,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjMDO9pDct
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLyBMDuPmv
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTJsUCbVGE
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Hw5gXhLS
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWBEmPA0sB
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXJE0mgadg
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDug2Etph
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN03nMQCZ0u
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YwPWyRc0f
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwSLRHJ8Bo
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxm1ySghKU
Man he smells so fucking good,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULUMizqgJ9
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXiCZicrXg
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8o8AY2ECi
"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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLg3nFJz8x
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6td1Rb1zd
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K5m67LLrn
"Cian"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgopKFPeU
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2LSYT7kj
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZewyxbkA
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46BYkZ4QUE
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x6ROoTpXY
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZLjUGeqE
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwbSwvso8

Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5OG06l8kX
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TR18mHnA
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29lHzq9BiP
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPAHh3TruC
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhf4SLS3nf
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLRlX24nh6
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1u4xe8iKj
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoFksoU9xO
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19YqYmqzHM
"C-Cian"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSje3Z2g68t
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUKNzyWID7
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFdN6YUBYj
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMl6YP566C
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaEcnlXlAh
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC78sVfkVb
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrq8Fy0GI
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,
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kdzH46ap
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
