''Rayven,'' she whispered, and he answered in a heart beat. His hands wound around her waist on an impulse, surprised he let her go and did not wake up with her in his arms like he should. His sleepy eyes fixed on her with worry when she was not sleeping. Those sleepy eyes cleared instantly at the thought of something bad happening again while he let his guard down.
''I am thirsty.''
His golden eyes softened on her, and he began to rise from the bed to go get water for her. She tried to stop him and offered that she could get it herself. But her demon was already out of the bed, shirtless and on his way to get water.
