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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4qMpHhTl2
My heart skipped a beat as I rested my right hand in his as he gracefully helped me up into the carriage,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JdRbGABoQ
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupTlsWnHgr
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb1zMzmDUf
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF6KHexkUG
Oh my God,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv59iwzgyN
His thighs are so nicely shaped, does he work out a lot?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjiFNxfa5h
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJw8K0aURr
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xebaI15GD
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneyreWnuLf
He was honestly a pleasure to look upon.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARaOP2EjmA
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrW3wmhYHq
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWMnTjvgR9
"We missed you so much" he whispered with a raspy voice,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iaZYFKJ9F
I started heating up quickly, I missed him so much more, yet it was so hard to express it.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQtvnn4nO
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBifDu7AlZi
Man he smells so fucking good,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaphzObfq7
His hair smelled like this cool and fresh scent that I couldn't quite describe with a mix of trees and rain.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo6Wk5yO8y
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5BNiABaC
"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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH34MEOZmBC
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3x7y9te72
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHiJLWocs1
"Cian"
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE12MT28Uc
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIze5ctntk
This big baby had fallen asleep with me in his arms,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu1g07Doe1
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVvcNYChYD
But to my surprise, instead of letting me go, he had held on even tighter leaving no room for me to leave.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecbjUOi1Jh
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvifOofilLp
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOmAM8Qcpd
I opened my eyes to be greeted with the heavenly sight of Cian.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOEUb1mXyJ
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxtpgCZ7tt
I giggled "Cian, I need to take my pills"
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevwLgnCgU0
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jT37Up6bS
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBjEQcd23O
I tried to wipe it off quickly, I hated being clumsy and messy,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gYIKvdoqx
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAA8Ua4RQ7
I gasped at the sensation, building desire in me, my voice coming out in a whisper
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVyk1TWN2Y
"C-Cian"
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMBHHIMrn9
He hummed against my jaw trailing kisses against it,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpfz57Eb3K
Then my thoughts went back to my feelings, how I had felt about Cian,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGywUoMFy
That I love him, and I wanted to give him my whole existence,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ol04cdsb
The thought of saying it to Cian had me shivering as my heart quickened, beating out of my chest,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorwXHAiStH
I flushed at my reaction, being saved by the voice of the driver coming from outside,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aYWvUak1l
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQWhiQvAzx
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,
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLgZSZNk2q
I wondered, what was this whole meeting about and why were we rushed to get here,
