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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDIoRaDQ3Q
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0QiulJ7gT
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIKutbvXTX
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z4TUC80Ba
Oh my God,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQiy6VKtBF
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtQyTnT02Q
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju8JkKGxmd
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMquo0cbo
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAUDVKL1Ep
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcwQ0tdFzA
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhiSmMRQI9
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyygOKhQMR
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJP94WmHS
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFeyqtVA0
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBzdiZXFa
Man he smells so fucking good,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpS1pQvXC
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiAByuqFP7
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPvC2oC7M
"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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbocuQwZMyn
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq1e3ZyDmL
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXlJxFTpO
"Cian"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALwAjKlPKk
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8k3oFHhFa
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tsibIsyQ4
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sa3XsAxhW
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJVmGWtaO
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtdJjqlF2T
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzF8G6m2x

Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02EzQGXFko
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dsjfXmgSb
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYd1BcGgB
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSqShXmjL
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKM8sKUb9I
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt5ffS4L02
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFhxmDZxMp
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLZ4CIYYGr
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH4f5zPZwb
"C-Cian"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHRTHlLwP9
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtqBLAlvGT
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYKmlLECtB
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFeR5smPBT
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ2jccQ9M2
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWZdRN5NYQ
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqwvoxZ3gz
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,
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICWyHkrAnT
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
