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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1I2nz9Rt
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA87VTldueh
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyLSOBwjA2
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcl1NRUy9r
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEwYqgWcQq
Oh my God,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57SChbydv
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3r71GZrHj
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0jJ33Nxsy
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XMKTnYmMy
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZGOvXp4vn
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tCZFBIUhp
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDIzB3SuUI
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmebRCcZDBW
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdBSqtiYEe
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeprK3CrZy
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xPDKF742l
Man he smells so fucking good,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrorQglYEi
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMRC6S9MXl
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJr5MYhA2B
"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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnwrJbDGVB
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBeUEgDJZf
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP3UTMk3qG
"Cian"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhfeONs4df
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i5Zaa4zpe
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKGpPv2mek
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odptW8fEA
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdHIeMV4qi
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJogTRjjZSj
Because it was going to be a very long ride,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm2ZOObJBS

Before I could open my eyes, I felt soft lips pressing against my skin in gentle pecks and kisses.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8y8QsrSq0
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSBwwJx50k
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkNjMTD6I1
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCBJsT6dQ
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Kk3wIWoK
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKUUAL1sqo
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenH4QNna5s
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM1JaF33YZ
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHWUnZGFB
"C-Cian"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxriKlBArzY
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3bpiQT8E
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPjcjh6O0
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJrNBIHEPc
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZ1ST98Aa
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFvPSGPAhC
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPFm94wsGE
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,
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfRruX1Uu4
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
