Caught

Azriel froze for a couple seconds, staring at his lover incredulously, waiting for her to smile and tell him it was a joke but Nesryn's sapphire-colored eyes stared back at his hazel ones, as tense silence filled the room. Little by little, the worried smile that was once playing on Azriel's face, disappeared.

Nesryn stared at Azriel's face, noticing when the information finally sunk in his mind, before he slowly turned to her, hand rising and immediately attaching itself on Nesryn's arms, startling the woman by the suddenness, a yelp escaping her lips. The sound seemed to snap Azriel back to reality and he immediately let Nesryn go, carefully taking her arms in his and checking if he did any serious damage.
